A Conversation With Lucy (that only I remember)

Lucy was pretty funny waking up from anesthesia today. She was sunny and cheerful and chatty. A few quotes to remember (said in a slurry, content kind of voice):

Very first sentence, before her eyes were even open: "Mom, can we throw the tech time rules out the window today?"

Me: Lu, you're a little bit drunk.
...long pause...
L: Your MOM's a little bit drunk!

(when we were trying to get her blood pressure up a little bit)
Me: Lucy, think of something that would make you mad. Think about if Theo got in your room and got into your stuff.
L: That wouldn't bother me. I got nothin to hide.
M: No?
L: No. I'm an international man of mystery with no secrets.


"This is some of that solid white girl apple juice."

To the nurse: Was I a good patient? Did I cause you any trouble?
Nurse: Honey, you were a perfect patient.
L: Was I a good patient? Did I cause you any trouble?

"Today I did ALL the drugs."
