Many of you will recall that I have a daughter who had a stroke when she was born. Ten years ago, she had a shunt put in her head, yes, brain surgery. Well on Wednesday we found out that the shunt was broken. a new one needed to be put in, and the surgery was scheduled for Friday. She went through the surgery, her mother and I were exceedingly worried, as were her grandmother and sister. Well, make this long story short, there were absolutely no problems with the surgery, and a few hours later she gets her bed wheeled back into the room, where we all are, and she is awake. The nurses are hooking her up to everything, and she looks at her mother, then her grandmother, then her sister, and last, me. The first words out of her mouth are...."Can I have a Big Mac?"
She had only been out of brain surgery for about three hours, and I had no idea what the doctors would say. What was I supposed to do?
She got a damned Big Mac.
