Good evening Pops, Coachadoodles and all my Popsadoodles. I apologize for such a late response. I spent the rest of April at momma's which is internet free. If you ever spend enough time around your momma's, you'll get revelations about some of your quirks. I learned things about myself in April and it's not pretty! I'm certain I owe all of you at least a few apologies. I'm sorry for saying this, that, oh and that too. Future apologies will be owed, but who knows when I'll learn my lesson. My mind is a lot clearer since the cancer has been removed. My foul mood has subsided since the drain was removed.
I got to spend a night in the hospital and was offered a second night. If not for the 120 year old orderly, I'd have taken it. She wasn't that old, but absolutely moved that slow. This was evident when I needed to pee like a race horse. My day nurse was exceptional so I didn't think about advance notice that evening. She had to unhook stuff and would stop to talk about how much her finger hurt after each item. She moseyed around my bed without concern for the pee seeping out of my fingernails. I've trained my bladder to not bother me until T minus 10 and counting. Advance notice is beyond my control. She had me ready to explode before I could get up. I needed a pool stick to swing at her.
At momma's, I had to adapt to her talking through tv shows. She interrupted one to tell me a story about a third cousin's friend's girlfriend. Talking through shows is not something I do. I watched the NFL draft like it was my job. She'd be somewhat quiet for that. She did cook for me though. It was more food than I'm used to.
I wanted to kill her grandfather clock. I was sneaking to the kitchen one night and that blasted thing went off. I'm not used to the sound and was shushing it. It went off every 15 minutes and when I first got there, I counted to 15 o'clock. It would mock me as it chimed out "you've just wasted another 15 minutes of your life" and then "you haven't moved yet?". Smart arse! I'd always wanted a grandfather clock until last month.
I've missed y'all and sorry to cause concern.
