a little nip tuck

Someone in the flyboy house is having a little nard work done.

{And in case your wondering nard.... balls, nuts, testicles, need I go on?}

Alright so technically its not nard surgery, his balls are fine, its the extra stuff that likes to visit them from time to time that needs to be fixed. But I find it funny to say nard work. And sometimes you have to find the humor in things.

And how often am I going to have the occasion to say nard work?

But enough about the nards.

We took dash-3 down to see a pediatric surgeon and he does indeed have a hernia which needs to be fixed most ricky tick, {I'm just filled with funny sayings today aren't I?} lest those intestines that like to come down for a visit decide to stay and turn into a house guest that wont go home. Then we are in a heap of trouble.

He had his surgery clearance appointment this morning at our military clinic and the surgery was scheduled for Monday before we were even home.

When the surgeon said better sooner then later he wasn't kidding. And proof that I need to cut tric*re some slack.

The surgery itself is fairly simple and clear cut {nothing like a surgery pun}, we are lucky enough to be having it done at a fantastic, top notch children's hospital. Actually, top notch doesn't even do it justice. It's legendary around here. Dash-1 had a procedure done there a few years ago and everything about the experience was great.

{Well except that he had to have a procedure there.}

My parent's changed their getaway plans to come up to help out with the other dash boys. {My father is missing out on Savannah and all that good food to come freeze his arse off up where it was a mere 16 degrees today. He's a good man.} Thankfully Flyboy will be here for the surgery and then has to jet off the following day.

But I'm not going to lie, I'm a little nervous. He'll be exactly five months old, five months old and 14 lbs and he'll be going under general anesthesia, that's the part that makes me nervous. 5mths and 14 lbs is a little guy, little guys have a much smaller threshold for error.

But positive thoughts positive thoughts. And nard jokes. Those are always funny.
