Only my family
Setting: ICU waiting room because it’s more living-room-esque than a curtained-in half of a telemetry room.
Husband to children: Just so you know, they have to move my vocal chords a little to do this, so there’s a small chance I might sound like The Godfather when I wake up.
Tall Kid: Why would that give you an Italian accent?
We laughed so hard I’m surprised his monitor didn’t sound the alarm.

You have a great family! Lots of love, hugs and prayers.

Okay, that got me laughing so hard I went into a coughing fit.
God bless the Tall Kid, is all I have to say.

It is good to laugh when times are tough. Glad y’all had humor to brighten up this tough time.
Praying for y’all.

Your Tall kid sounds like my Tall kid. Mine would have said something very similar. Did you make him an offer he couldn’t refuse? It’s good to have laughter! It truly is the best medicine.

Classic. And knowing you all, Stooit will probably make a point of exhibiting that accent very soon, just to mess with TK.
Hang in there, Shan.

Thinking of you and yours today.
Maybe your dh will be able to SPEAK Italian after.

Go in a great guy and come out a great guy with an Italian accent? Nice.
Sending out some good thoughts to you and your family.

Alas, no Italian.
Not even any sexy huskiness. Just…normal.
(Thank goodness.)
