This week I get to return to my "skin doctor" for follow-up surgery. It is called "trust". Several biopsy's from the first visit indicate further treatment required. It is facial. It involves cutting. I'm not sure about the pain. The truth is I'm paying the price for years of sun exposure and no hat. Recently I have been really careful about wearing hats and using generous amounts of sunblock. Go figure. It is out-patient treatment and I get to take my best friend with me.
This falls into the category of additional pain. Grandpa George always carried toothpicks in his pocket. Anytime we went to a restaurant, George would grab toothpicks as we exited. I remember him keeping the toothpick in his mouth much like a cigarette. Apparently he had several teeth that were "food traps" and he used the picks for removal. Your Mom seems to have the same condition. The result is that there are toothpicks lying everywhere. Last night I rammed on into my foot (it was caught in the rug). Then I reached into a sofa cushion to retrieve a pencil. I jammed another toothpick into my hand. Finally, I sat down at the computer and I felt a sharp pain in my butt. Sure enough, I had run a wooden tool up my "a--". This ain't funny any more.
Jan.16, 2012 falls into the categoy of being the most depressing day of the year (the third Monday of the New Year). The holidays are finally over. The weather is lousy so we are trapped inside with something called cabin fever. Most people must seriously return to work. Etc., etc., etc. Well suck it up buster! This too shall pass.
The Packers losing doesn't help the mood. How can you go 15-1 during the season and lose the first game in the playoffs? They got a first round bye giving them a chance to heal injuries. They got home field advanage during the playoffs. Everything was exactly the way they wanted. It couldn't have been planned any better. I'm not sure the Packers were "hungry enough". A strong resolve to win and a little bit of "nasty" helps. Now we get the losers lament: "there is always next year"!
Finally the Tebow "thing" will get a rest. Tebow and his buddies got "t-boned". New England beat Denver 45-10. Even lots of prayer can't solve a throwing motion that sucks.
Stay warm!
Love,
Dad
