Ralphs Surgery Adventures

Today was Ralphs getting his hernia repaired for the third time day. Ralph always reacts very strange to the meds they give you. For those of you who remember how Cory acted when he got his wisdom teeth out last year will know it kinda runs in the family.
Anyway heres how it went. We arrived at the surgery area at 6.30am bright and early this morning. They took him back and all went well. He did in fact have two hernias that they ended up repairing. (hes still sleeping so not sure if he even knows that yet). Dad was with me and after talking to the doctor we got to go and be with Ralph in recovery. Once again he was sitting up in bed, laughing and making a total fool of himself. lol. Heres a few examples below of what he was up too.
He said his nose iched, i told him to stratch it. He said he couldnt lift his hand over there due to the IV. He asked where his other hand was!!!! My dad told him it was on the other side of his body. He couldnt seem to find it. A couple of mins later he threw his other hand up in the air in front of his face and said very loudy and happily. THERE IT IS!!!! He then tried to stratch his nose but hit his tooth instead. That made him laugh very loudly and he yelled. LOOK WHAT I FOUND, I WAS LOOKING FOR MY NOSE AND I FOUND A TOOTH!!!! Yes this is for real!!!!
The nurse when asking him if he knew where he was, he replied. Of course i know where i am, im at the AIRPORT!!!
The nurse asked him if he wanted something to drink. He replied yes, she asked what he would like, He told her he wanted a vodka.. She gave him orange juice instead. He told her, this is great vodka its not even bitter!!!!!!!!!!! Srange thing is Ralph has never had a vodka in his life so not sure what that was about. But i have told him many times that volka was my fave drink before i was LDS so maybe thats what was going though his mind, lol.
He overheard someone else getting ready to leave. He heard the nurse ask them if they were ready to leave. He yelled. Yes im ready to leave, wheres my swimming trunks!!!!!!!
When it was time for him to leave, he wanted to take his own IV out. When the nurse wouldnt let him, he told her to hurry. She told him it was best if she didnt. He then jumped up saying, Okay im ready to leave. Yeah right! In a hospital grown and nothing else on!!!
He didnt want a wheelchair, then he wanted to drive. He told me he didnt like my driving and didnt want me to drive!!! I drove but i locked the door, i was worried he would jump out. I stopped at a traffic light behind a car. He started screaming that i was too close to the car and we would crash!!! We wasnt moving!!!!! We drove by a subway, he yelled at me to stop so he could get a sandwich, then he was mad that i wouldnt stop and get him one!!!!!!!!! By the time we stopped at smiths (his surgery was the surgical place by granger medical) after wanting to go inside himself he started to come down off of his high and was sleepy and back to his old self. Just in case i stayed in the car with him while dad run in there, i didnt want him running down the street naked or something. Truthfully if my dad had not come with me i never could have handled him by myself. He was totally high!!!! I dont know why he always acts like this on meds. Just insane.
Kids!!! Next time your dad needs surgery, your taking him and im staying home!!!!!!
