Just because your husband’s jaw has been wired shut doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy the meal you’ve been planning.

The doctor and nurses have told you that Bob will be in physical therapy for at least an hour as long as he doesn’t pass out from the pain. Good. That should give you plenty of time to get his recovery room ready for your special surprise anniversary dinner! This will be just the thing to boost his spirits and assure him that your marriage bond is still strong, even though he may be useless to you from the waist down for quite some time, if not forever.

Sure, the aftermath of the accident has been hard on you both, but they don’t make you say “for better or worse” for nothing. Luckily, you’ve thought of everything. You’ve hung a tablecloth from the restaurant where you had your first date along the privacy curtain. Hospital rules prohibit open flame need the oxygen tank, but glow sticks made a fine substitute for candles as you “set the mood”. Mr. Frinkle in the neighboring bed has even offered to wear earplugs tonight to give you kids some time to yourselves. What a sweet man. It’s a shame about the infection.

But the coup de grâce is the feast you’ve prepared. All of his favorite foods – marinated Porterhouse steak, grilled asparagus, Texas potatoes, and Black Forest Cake – will be there for him to enjoy, and all in a perfectly sippable form thanks to your Breville Ikon Diecast Blender. With its five speed 750 watt motor and Hemisphere blade system, you were able to puree dinner and pour it easily into individual cups from the glass container. You even went and got curly straws for the occasion. If that’s not love, what is?

Hear that? It sounds like they’re wheeling Bob your way. He’s going to be so surprised he may even wet himself! Of course, according to the doctors, that might just be something you have to get used to.
