The Red Queen Affair

Cavity Sam- remember him. Scary to wonder just how many of todays fine surgeons got their start removing butterflies from the stomach and charly horses huh. Sam has been upgraded and today you can even remove brain freeze from poor Sam in the shape of an icecream cone. If you have always wondered if you should have gone to med school well here is your chance.

I tell you all this to let you know that our friend Jeff is now sporting a new liver- received it Sunday and his life is beginning again at the ripe old age of 21. He should be full of his-self again in no time and we can't wait for that.

Also, same day, different hospital, my Mom went into surgery for her compression fractures on her spine. I guess some doctor must do wood working on the side and wondered if wood putty would work in these cases and waa laa, we have a new procedure not unlike what Cavity Sam would utilize. They have puttied up my mom and she should be ready to go home either today or tomorrow. Knowing my mom who absolutely hates hospital coffee she will be begging to go home- they serve much better Bloody Mary's at home anyway- Bloody Mary's at the hospital are always a bit suspect I would imagine- especially if served with no celery.

I just want to praise the Great Physician for once again showing us His unfaltering love and His healing mercy. Remember those who will be needing to know this after Hurricane Katrina makes landfall today. Be Blessed!
