This isn't all bad

I had the arthroscopic surgery on my knee today. I'm supposed to take it easy for a couple of days and keep my right leg elevated. So here I am in my Lazy-boy with the laptop in my lap and an icepack on my knee. I'm not really in any severe pain. Although I wouldn't really have to use crutches, I'm using them at least for today. Cliff stayed home from work to babysit me. Actually, he's occupying himself on my desktop at "the best of Craigslist" after my telling him about it yesterday. Every once in awhile I hear him in the kitchen laughing uproariously, or saying something like, "Oh, no!!!" followed by more laughter.

So if he hears me put the footrest of the recliner down, he hollers to ask me what I want. Geesh, I could do a few things for myself, but no. He wants to wait on me.

So now I say, "Oh WAITER," every time I want something.

"What do you need?"

"I'm hungry."

"OK, what can I get you?" And I tell him.

"Oh waiter," I say again later, sweetly.

He comes running.

"I'm thirsty."

I wonder if I could make this recovery thing last a little longer.
