Sounds good. Great news, man 
While I agree with this–no one should get the shit jobs based on gender–I would add that male nurses are absolutely fantastic when you’ve had abdominal surgery. The times you need help out of bed? Mr. Nurse doesn’t stumble when you pull hard on his arm, nor stagger when you lean on him trying to take those first few difficult steps. Don’t get me wrong–I’m not ragging on female nurses here. Damn, those women are worth every penny they’re paid and more (mercy, the distasteful tasks they perform without complaint). I’m just sayin’ that added physical strength can be a real help in post-op situations!
No matter what the gender, a good nurse is worth twice his or her weight in gold. Congrats to Chefson!!
Congrats to your son–that is indeed a wonderful thing.
Tell him to always take time for lunch–or whichever meal–and to politely refuse to be badgered into putting his needs last while on duty. Nurses can be self-effacing to the point of doormats, sometimes.
Times change. A lot.
Back in the 60s, Mike Nichols (yes, the director) and Elaine May were recorded developing a comedy routine where the thread title was the premise, and in fact, that exact line had them both laughing so hard they could barely catch their breath. It’s available on CD.
