So cute I could squeeze what stuffin' is left right out of him

Here he is again - the FIL. He does not have his toofers in because of the surgery but it went really well. It was same day surgery, so he is already at home. This is the best I have seen him in a while - color was good, had an appetite (which is great since he weighs a buck fifteen soaking wet), talking and joking with the fam. See those three mama hens around him? The one leaning down is Aunt Rita Mae, the one next to her is Aunt Joanne and the one on the other side by herself is Aunt Regina who, truth be told, is the biggest mama hen of them all. They futz and fuss on him so much but it is so damn cute, I swear. He laps it alllllllll up too. You see, the MIL - not so much of a caregiver. Not into the coddling even when that is what is really needed. No one ever died from being spoiled a little. I won't go into some of the incredibly insensitive things she said just today - one of them being for him to hurry up and pee so she could go home since she was tired from their early trip to the hospital. Oh yeah, she said it. Man just got a growth excised from his body but by God he better piss so she can take a snooze. Unreal. Anyways, these are the hens and I really love them. My husband has such a caring family and they really show their love for each other which I think is wonderful. I mean every time poor Mr. Vincent (the FIL) has been in the hospital, the whole damn clan is there practically. That's how it should be though, right? Family is there for each other. Family does for each other. At least that's what I think. I'm glad that the hens obviously believe that too. :)
