In which Feisty Pants is not worried at all

               So, it's been a few weeks since I have posted.   Sigh. I tried. I really did. (Shut up. I did too. You don't know.)   Feisty Pants and I researched fun diy gifts for Father's Day. Okay, so I did tell her they would also make boyfriend gifts, but hey, that's just creative motivation.  We also looked up homemade healthy popsicle recipes seeing as how we all live in the first level of Hades now.   We even looked up info on why and how pets are so amazingly good for us in general, and special needs kids in particular.   I am hoping this will turn into amazing future posts because I sure as hell didn't get them written these last few weeks. 

               As I write this, we are sitting in Shriners Children's Hospital in Philly.  Feisty Pants is at this moment getting x-rayed.  She will having the first stage of a two stage surgery tomorrow for a severe scoliosis. We have had a crazy last month.  Clearances from some docs.  Other doctors who wanted to "check on her one last time before the surgery".  Tests to run.   Blood to be drawn, some of it even hers.  (Notice that we do not call her Complacent Pants.) Shopping for everything we will need while staying here.  Shopping for everything needed while Hippie Pants is staying at our 
t place. A million people stopping by to see her.  A million explanations on why I am spraying them with purell.  And to top it it all off, Feisty Pants is not nervous at ALL, nope, nuh uh. She simply doesn't feel like sleeping this week. That's all. So apparently we don't want to sleep either. 

                But the crazy ride of the last few weeks is over.  We made the drive down to Philly with no problems.  We snagged a room at the Ronald McDonald House so that's one worry we don't have to own.  Admission went through with no problems.  Now we just wait.  And watch Feisty Pants worry. No wait, we will watch FP not worry at all.  She just likes sitting around giving everyone the patented Feisty Pants side eye and not sleeping.  Besides, Hot Pants, her nurse from home, has come down to hold her hand and make her feel brave -not that she needs it at all. And this hospital has the science channel and the game show network, so she knows how she'll be passing her time not being nervous at all.  I guess her father and I will be the only ones in the room who are worried.
