Jailbreak - Day 4
Super G,
It's approximately 1:38am. You'll be waking up soon. Three days in and you've already set an internal alarm, pretty impressive. The hour you picked to begin your day is a bit upsetting, but I'm impressed nonetheless. I used to deprive myself of sleep fairly regularly in my youth. Whether it was drafting and playing through full seasons of NFL Fever with the fellas or reading the latest Harry Potter, I would pull all-nighters all the time. Similarly in my adult life, many a late night have been spent in the streets and resorts of Las Vegas. There are little to no Zzzs taken advantage of in Vegas, EVER. But this new situation you have placed me in, against my will I might add, is completely different. You don’t really sleep at all, and when you do it’s typically during the day. We’ve watched the sunrise together the last three nights. Only as the sun comes up do you go down. Magical experience I must admit, but the nocturnal lifestyle is not for me.
Daddy’s internal clock is fully out of whack at this point. I’m exhausted, both mentally and physically. You were circumcised yesterday. I had mastered diaper changing, but this new situation has brought about a need for speed I just don’t possess yet. Literally, open air causes pain to your peen; it seems excruciating because you holler in agony whenever its exposed. This truly breaks my heart. I’ll get faster, I promise. But I’m sick of being in this hospital. The unlimited cranberry and orange juice has been nice, but I’ve had enough. My renewed love for McDonald’s faded after only 2 days. My brain is beyond capacity with knowledge from the nursing staff. I want to shower in full size bathroom. Most of all, I want my own bed. An hour of sleep at home is better than 3 hours on this padded bench with pancake thin pillows. It’s time to go, brotha. We’re busting out of this joint.
First things first, we need to remove the Baby Snatching Prevention Device (or BSPD) from your ankle. We won’t make it off the block with that siren still attached. “Stay on the carpeted area to prevent setting off the alarm” they told me. It also seems to be cutting into your skin, so its gotta go. The nurses never leave any sharp objects in the room though. I’ll have to use my teeth. Next up, we have the mommy situation. She’s not incredibly swift at the moment. Considering she was literally cut in half 3 days ago, the fact she is up and walking is extraordinary. But there is no way we survive without her. We need to acquire a set of wheels. This is a hospital though, shouldn't be too hard to find a wheelchair. The nurses are due back around 7am. You're typically awake until 6am, so I’ll need to start my car runs as soon as you doze off. We've amassed a good bit of items we didn't bring with us, maybe a 3 trip process ahead.
But these walls can't hold us any longer. No walls can!!! “Wait to be discharged.” Thanks, but no thanks Northside. At daybreak, it's going down! I hope you're ready. I may need you to create a distraction, may even have to push Mommy at some point. We'll have to see how that plays out. You're stirring now. Shenanigans commence at 0600. I'm glad you're here son. The world is ours!!!
Love,
Daddy
