So, as I mentioned, we rushed back from Disneyland for Jay to make it in time for his surgery. He had some torn cartilage in his wrist, and was having it cleaned up. The same day, Josh, our lead landscape foreman, was having surgery on his right wrist too. He was scheduled for right after Jay, but his surgery was for an undetermined cause of pain especially when he rotated his wrist. We were supposed to get there at 6 am for check-in, but we got there at 6:20. Not too bad considering the car troubles we had. Jay called ahead to let them know we were almost there.
After surgery, he was SO entertaining. Rambling about nonsense, and wouldn't stop talking, except when he would fall asleep mid-sentence. I had fun laughing at him. He was a good sport and agreed to do extended family pictures just hours after surgery. We both had to borrow clothes for pictures since it was a last minute decision, and we hadn't packed anything but matching work shirts for us and the kids. 
After pictures we drove home, and he spent the next 2 days in hibernation. The day after we got home (Christmas Eve) I went to our store to see how things were going, and it was crazy busy. I stayed and helped out, and we were planning on closing early. Kelly was ready to leave, and people were still coming. I turned the closed sign on, and people still came in. I ended up staying until about 4:30 (we were going to close at 2:00). We had a quiet pizza dinner and Papa and Patty brought pajamas by for everyone. Jay decided at the last minute that the kids couldn't get nothing on Christmas morning, so I braved the crowds, and picked up a few things at Walgreen's (the only store open) and was there until they closed. I still don't know if it was the medication, or if he felt bad that Disneyland wasn't as grand as it could have been, but I can't believe I had to do last minute shopping. Again.

Again.Jay's wrist is healing well. He went for his follow up appointment Friday, and they took his stitches out. They also said he can use it as much as he's comfortable with.
