r performed "surgery" on k in the bath today. he fixed her chest problems in a complicated procedure through her back involving bubbles. and then she reciprocated. i heard "close your eyes. click click. ok all done. open your eyes; your parents are here." there was a lot of shuffling around in wheelchairs for a while as well as patients were brought from room to room by the surgeon.
i asked what kind of surgery they were doing and r replied that knee surgery! he also informed me that he was having surgery on the same knee as i did -- the left one. when i tried to tell him that my surgery was on the right knee, he argued with me extensively until i showed him both my knees. as stubborn as his mom...
when the parents tried to end the surgery play at bed time by noting that the procedure would have to be a two part operation as the hospital was out of titanium screws. ro, the patient, sat up quickly and stated "no i have some right here in my tool box. don't worry. surgeon, you can finish up and put me in my wheelchair." luckily the patient came out of anesthesia quickly and both the patient and the surgeon are sleeping it off.
