A Joke for Today

A male patient is lying in bed in the hospital, wearing an oxygen mask over his mouth and nose. A young, student nurse appears to give him a partial sponge bath. '

Nurse', he mumbles, from behind the mask. 'Are my testicles black?' Embarrassed, the young nurse replies, 'I don't know, Sir. I'm only here to wash your upper body and feet.'

He struggles to ask again, 'Nurse, please check. Are my testicles black?'

Concerned that he may elevate his blood pressure and heart rate from worry about his testicles, she overcomes her embarrassment and pulls back the covers. She raises his gown, holds his manhood in one hand and his testicles in the other. Then, she takes a close look and says, There's nothing wrong with them, Sir!'

The man pulls off his oxygen mask, smiles at her and says very slowly.... 'Thank you very much. That was wonderful, but, listen very, very closely......

Update on Sally

Sally is still having some symptoms although we still have no answers. The dizziness is all but gone. The numbness in her face remains as does sporadic ringing in her ears. Her main problems are now fatigue and weakness.

The neurosurgeon and the neurologist both said the same thing. "Wait and see." Sally and I didn't like that answer so we went to see a different neurologist at the University of Minnesota Medical Center. There the doctors did another MRI. They too found the spot on Sally's brain but they don't think that it has anything to do with her symptoms. Again we were told to "wait and see."

We have tried to self-diagnose by using the Internet, and we have found that most of her symptoms match MS. But the doctors say it is too early to say that it is or isn't MS.

So here we are. We have no appointments scheduled until February. Sally just tries to do her best to get through each day. She has started back to work on a limited basis but comes home VERY tired.

I will update here when I know more.....

Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, and God Bless!!

Yes, there is a Santa Claus!

As some of you may or may not know, Sally has been having some health issues since October. We had explained to our children that it was going to be a very slim christmas this year since Sally has not been working.

The past two days, the people that Sally works with have given us all of these gifts for our children!!! This is on top of the groceries and giftcards that they had already given us.

There are good people in this world!

I for one, DO believe in Santa Claus!!!!

Beauty is where you find it!

Beauty is where you find it. I found a rosy pole at the entrance to a parking lot. I just wish that the artist would have signed it!
