Hey Y'all! This is Christy here to fill you in on Jen's PUBLICITY STUNT uh, I mean surgery. I want you guys to know that I was really excited to help Jen out, for one because I think she's pretty great but mostly? Because I get to type with a southern accent. Up here in Minnesota we don't get to say charming things like "Hey Y'all" to greet one another we just say "Hello" (LAME) or maybe, "Hey, you guys!" Which when printed out sounds a lot like we're trying to be Sloth from The Goonies {but I promise we're not nearly as cool as Sloth}. The point of this being that this is a southerner's blog so I can totally get away with it so HEY Y'ALL, HEY Y'ALL, HEY Y'ALL, HEY Y'ALL, HEY Y'ALL. Also? Cornbread.
So then...It's kind of a trip taking over someone else's blog. I feel very powerful right now. MUAHAHAHAHA. What should I do with all this power?! (I mean besides practice my maniacal laugh?) Take a nap maybe? To tell you the truth all this power is kind of exhausting.
How 'bout I just tell you how Jen's doing? I received this text from Marcus at 8:08 this morning...
"Just talked with the doc. Jen came through fine. They are going to take me in to see her in just a moment."
I will keep updating as I get information, so stay tuned. I suspect once Jen gathers as many wits as she can on all those pain meds she will quickly turn into the diva of the ER, requesting only certain hues of Jello and that the alarms for blood pressure and meds beep to the sound of Beethoven's 5th symphony for dramatic effect...oh wait. That would be me. Jen will most assuredly be perfectly lovely. Now let's all wish her a speedy recovery!
*UPDATE: I recieved these very informative texts from Jen right before noon...
Now as much as I love hearing about Jen's inability to pee comfortably, I'm hoping the next update will include something about brownies...
MOAR UPDATES: No brownies, Internet, but I've got something even better...a doped up southerner! I just got this text:
"Narcotics r mah friend"
With this picture:
I know I should have some commentary on this but I'm laughing too hard. Looks like our southern belle is being well cared for...
So glad to read that Jen is doing well. And you are managing your newfound Internet power quite well. Thanks, Christy!

Thanks Christy for the update. How can you not love someone who sends a photo of "hospital bling" and uses the word "mah".
Wishing Jen a very very speedy recovery.

Yay, Jen! What a trooper, I hope Marcus appreciates what you did so that he could avoid the raincoats!

That pic is priceless! I can laugh because there are a couple like that of me after my c-sections...and because you are such a good sport Jen! Not to mention, you GAVE that pic to someone, so in the most loving way I could say this to someone recovering from surgery, you DESERVE to have me laugh. Right? No hard feelings y'all...
