Mom update: The doctor doubled the pain patch, so Mom has rested comfortably. Tonight when she woke up she placed an order for pastries for the friends who are visiting tomorrow. She is still gasping out pithy jokes. And the nurse tonight, Carol, can read the lips of people in respiratory masks AND her last patient was a polio survivor AND her dad died in hospice AND she’s a Catholic / Baptist. I love her. I also sent Mom’s eyeglasses in to have the new prescription put in. (Since we found out she didn’t need cataract surgery, just a new prescription, she has to look through them at least once.) It took a little while to leave her alone with just the nurse, since Dad died the first time alone with the nurse.
=======================================
So, I emailed Gary a list of things I needed from home, i.e. DRUGS, all my underwear, four or five shirts.
So when he brought in two bags I asked why. He opened the carry-on bag and said, “Your drugs and shirts are in here.” Then he gestured to the pilot bag front pocket. “Your underwear is in here,” then unzipping the pilot bag, “Your dirty underwear is in here.”

God bless the man who tries to pack for his wife.
Damn Gary. He made me roll on the floor and get covered in cat hair.
Geez, I had to give birth to get my husband to pack anything for me.I’m dying at the dirty underwear. You did say “all.”
Friend #3…you stole the words right out of my mouth nearly word for word! Gary does follow directions.
I don’t know if Gary’s intent was to make you laugh but he sure made me crack a smile!
Ha! It’s the common sense part of the X chromosome that fell off in giving men the Y chromosome. Maybe he was just worried that you’d be bored. See, now you have household chores to do too.
Jeeez, he’s a hoot!
(shakes head in wonder) Yeah, you did say “all”. (What were we saying about Aspergers not so long ago?)(Time for Wapner!)No wonder you love Carol. She sounds like a person y’all really need to have around right now.
Wait – what? Dad died the first time with a nurse? Did he get brought back?
OH my goodness. In the middle of this trouble, such a hilarious moment. THAT is a man you can trust to do what you say.
John would have done that.
All – Gary said tonight, “I did wonder why you wanted your dirty underwear…”
*laugh* My husband often doesn’t know what to do in stressful moments and I can imagine him doing the same thing. Too funny!
That might should have read ” in which Gary rocks”. That was well done.
Kim and magpie – He’s a sweetie. He also brought Dave a huge sandwich tonight, because he was worried Dave hadn’t been eating.
Did that man scour the laundry basket for your dirty undies and then SEPARATE them for you? God. He’s a keeper.
Candy – Yes, and he did it even though he said it made NO sense.
