deromilly, you should really show this one to your spousal unit.
Grandma Report
I went to see my grandmother in the hospital yesterday; she’s still in the ICU, recovering from the surgery, and Dad says she’s mostly been out of it until just today.
She seemed glad to see me, and immediately starting chatting up a storm. We discussed all the tubes and gadgets she was hooked up to, the comings and goings of my various cousins who had also been in to see her, and other general topics.
At one point a nurse came in to check on her, and remarked “You just had surgery on your throat, and all you want to do is talk?”
Grandma said, “I got behind. I need to catch up on my talking.”
Fucking OW!
Monday, my period started with a vengeance. Tuesday I was treated to some truly memorable cramping. In the morning I was in so much pain my hands were shaking. I was sitting in my English class, trying to pay attention to the instructor, and observing the trembling in my hands. It would have been very interesting at another time, but right then I was just thinking, “Damn, if they’re shaking like that it means I can’t perform self-surgery with my ball-point pen and gouge that bitch out of my gut. Which is too bad, because it would hurt less.”
And guys wonder why women don’t appreciate jokes about PMS.
