My 7 month old daughter is having a procedure done tomorrow morning on her heart to close a vessel that should have closed on its own. It is not open heart, but with catheters. She will be away from my wife and I for 2 hours from around 7am to 9am est. These will be the most difficult 2 hours of my life thus far, and I am having anxiety just thinking about it.
What I am asking board members to do is, post coins, post jokes, anything to keep me distracted and make those 2 hours fly by.
Mods, I apologize if this is off topic. But in many cases, this board is my sanctuary.
Thanks in advance.

I would post something entertaining, or something distracting, to get you through some of that time, but you really shouldn't be passing time here.
Comfort your wife, take her for a walk, share memories over coffee, hold her, hug her, be grateful for her companionship. Laugh and cry. The ordeal will be over quickly and you will thank the stars for blessing you again.

My best wishes are with you and your family. As a positive thought, my brother had a complicated heart procedure when he was a little older than your daughter and that was about forty-some years ago. Today, he's healthy as a horse and I'm happy to say still a pain in the neck older brother.
Good luck tomorrow.

I will certainly pray for you and your daughter as well as the rest of your family and all of those involved in her care.
May God grant you the peace that surpasses all understanding.
Here's the first joke my son ever told me. We had just bought chips and nachos at the movies... "Dad, whose cheese is this?" "Buddy, I don't know?" "Not yo cheese!" followed by about 5 minutes of a 3-year-olds laughter!
Here’s the first joke my daughter ever told me. She just began playing the cello. One day she told me that her cello had spoken to her. I said “What?” She said, yeah it said “Cello!”
I only wish my jokes were as funny!
Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......
May everything go well tomorrow for your daughter. She and your family will be in my prayers.
May you bring us good news on your return my friend.

If you were an agnostic dyslexic with insomnia, would you lie awake all night wondering if there is a dog?
A Mafia godfather finds out that his bookkeeper has cheated him out of ten million bucks.
His bookkeeper is deaf.
That was the reason he got the job in the first place. It was assumed that a deaf bookkeeper would not hear anything that he might have to testify about in court.
When the godfather goes to confront the bookkeeper about his missing $10 million, he brings along his attorney, who knows sign language.
The godfather tells the lawyer, “Ask him where the 10 million bucks he embezzled from me is.”
The attorney, using sign language, asks the bookkeeper where the money is.
The bookkeeper signs back, “I don’t know what you are talking about.”
The attorney tells the godfather, “He says he doesn’t know what you’re talking about.”
The godfather pulls out a pistol, puts it to the bookkeeper’s temple, and says, “Ask him again!”
The attorney signs to the bookkeeper, “He’ll kill you if you don’t tell him!”
The bookkeeper signs back, “OK! You win! The money is in a brown briefcase, buried behind the shed in my cousin Enzo’s backyard in Queens!”
The godfather asks the attorney, “Well, what’d he say?”
The attorney replies, “He says you don’t have the guts to pull the trigger.”

<< <i>Ankur - Try not to hug her too tight at 9am!

I only wish my jokes were as funny! >>
The first joke my daughter ever came up with on her own - she was 2. One night we were eating dinner, and I tried to get her to try the zuccini. After stubbornly keeping her mouth closed for the first few attempts, she opened her mouth and yelled - "Zuccini, No-ccini" and closed closed her mouth again. It was really hysterical, because it was so unexpected. However, it got progressively less funny as she repeated it over and over as I tried to get her to eat it. I gave up and let her win that battle - I figured she earned it.
Ankur - best wishes for quick, successful procedure and a speedy recovery. Oh, and don't forget to hug your wife once in a while in between reading posts.

I knew it would happen.
On the joke side. On a long drive from the grandparent's house in Louisiana we were listening to the radio. Ozzy Osborne Crazy Train came on and my youngest kid (7yrs) thought misinterpreted these lines:
I'm going off the rails on a crazy train
I know that things are going wrong for me
What my kid heard:
I'm going off the rails on a crazy train
I know that pizza comes with broccoli
Seriously, listen to it again and you'll hear it too!
