Monty, I'll take what's behind door #2
Let's have a little pop quiz here, shall we? The question is:
Where would you most like to spend your first wedding anniversary?
a.) In a bungalow on the beach in Mexico.
b.) At a chateau in Provence.
c.) In a cabin in the Great Smokies.
d.) At a B&B in New Orleans.
e.) In the hospital where your husband has landed for an emergency appendectomy.
[Jeopardy theme plays -- duh da duh da duh da duuuuh. duh da duh da DA da-da-da-da-da...]
Tough one, isn't it?!?
The surgery went fine and we are now back home recovering from the 36-hour hospital vortex. And the experience provided us with yet another you-know-you're-in-Tennessee-when moment when the surgeon walked in the room and I realized that his first name was Jimbob. All one word. I shit you not.
And anyway, in J-P's defense, we didn't spend the actual night of our anniversary in the hospital even though it scuttled our anniversary-celebration plans. And hey, the timing could have been worse. It could have happened at this time last year. Jesus H. Christ would THAT have sucked.

Oh no! I'm sorry you didn't get to make your anniversary trip to NO this weekend...but I'm glad that J-P is ok, and that Jimbob's surgical skills weren't as backwoods as his name. I hope he makes a full recovery soon!
oh no! JIMBOB??? wishing j-p a speedy recovery and you both a happy anniversary.
t and j -- thanks for the well wishes. j-p is resting at home. recovery is slow going, unfortunately!
Your anniversary wouldn't have been that bad if J-P had shared his morphine with you. Holy crap! I'm glad to here that everything turned out well and that he's on the mend... I bet that appendectomy would have been much cheaper in Bangkok.
s, a, & s -- yes, one of the things we were most grateful for is that the appendix reared its head before j-p left for bangkok, rather than after.
