I Weigh 2 Lbs. Less!

Patty

38 staples removed successfully!

Yippee!

Aside from the research study (clinical trial), I am on fewer meds and don't have to see the Doc until December 1st for tests for #4.

He's not too crazy about me working yet; not even part time!

He wants me to 'convalesce' at home for at least two more weeks.

....impossible, I say....

Double-A

Soon as you can show him your degree in medicine, you two can argue, until then, go home and do what he says. If the company folds up, crashes and burns while you were out sick, just put that on your resume, but its not your problem. Go rest or I'ma send Grumpy over to start spanking!

And while you are listening to your doctor and following every detail of what he says, please remember this.

"50% of every doctor in the country graduated in the bottom half of there class in med school."

Have a healthy quick recovery.

NOW you are going to get bored, so stay out of trouble Patty.

Patty

What do you suppose I do to keep from getting bored and into any kind of TRouble, CE1?

Any ideas? I mean,,,,what's LEFT to do?

CE1

Let me see what I can come up with in the way of TRouble ideas. We can call it "Patty's TRouble to-do list"

Maybe some other members can help??

Wow CE1. You're an electrician AND a poet????

Now, I'm impressed!

What else do you do?

Yeah Slick! Not bad, huh? But, have you ever been told something and had that 'gut feeling' that you aren't quite being told EVERYTHING they know?

Something tells me that the reason there is 'no hurry' is because the location of this one is not good. Originally, they leveled with me and said it was high-risk. Now, they avoid the issue entirely and just celebrate the success of the completed surgery and speak of recovery & recuperation. Hmm...something is suspect, here. Where is Detective Clouseau (sp?) when we need him?

slickshift

By Doctors?....I always feel that way

However, I think they are avoiding the issue so they can just bask in their glory of the great work they did
Doctors do have big egos

Slick, I did, in fact, thank him for saving my life...which, for the record, he DID do! And, he can bask all he wants cuz he is one of their finest neurosurgeons on staff, according to the ICU nurses.

Hmmmm....my hunch says there is a lot more than mere doctor ego going on here. I think he wants ME to 'heal' from this episode before he drops the bomb on me for Round 2. Just my gut feeling, Slick. I think he's 'skirting' conversation about the next surgery for the time being.

slickshift

Well, I wouldn't be surprised if he felt you had enough "excitement" for right now

Patty

..... yeah....you might be right, Slick!

And, besides, we have so many impressive aeronautical engineers on this site, it got me wondering how many talented neurosurgeons were demurely hiding out here, in cognito, as well?

It's possible, right?

Hmmmm.....

But WHO???

(...thinking I might get the family discount next time around... )

mdshunk

It's me, Patty. Matter of fact, I just received delivery of my new Klein Journeyman series neurosurgical 9" brain pliers. I'm all set to go now...

Patty

You're in business, my friend!

Do I get a good deal seeing I'm a sort of guinea pig?

I gotta tell ya, Tom R has always bragged about your abilities so I am rather excited to have it be YOU, MD...... ....and your name fits and everything.

..... See? It's a sign!

IHI

Well to sound too condesending Patty, but if I were you I would have goggled a DIY neuro-surgen forum and learned how to perform the procedure myself. Always looking for excuses to buy new tools ya know.

"Yes Mr and Mrs Smith, I will type up the finalized contract for your new room addition, and since you bought before Sep. 1 I will even through in a FREE labotomy, just for shoosing us!! All surgery's are performed by me in YOUR HOME!!! Thanks again for making the best decsion for your project and using Iowa Home Improvement and BS (Brain Surgery) Surgery Inc.

So I was flipping through, saw this thread title, "I weigh 2 lbs. less!" and authored by Patty.

I figured she must have just took a huge dump and wanted to tell us about it.

mdshunk

Eh, I was gonna say it, but I held off. I'm reasonably sure that's why most people clicked on this thread.

Teetorbilt

Congratulations! I can't imagine but having them out must feel good.

We're talking about STAPLES, right?

Yes, Teetor, it's very nice....especially during sleeping hours (which tends to be 80% of my life, right now. ) You can tell when those staples are 'there'. Yick! It's a bit uncomfortable. But, now, it's rather nice and it's a sign of all the good things ahead.

Ohhh.... .....Peladu & md?

Do you REALLY think I would write THAT KIND OF A POST?

The answer is.....................
Talking about staples in my head is embarrassing enough!"blush:

Bad boys!
