Life's Little Dramas Part 3

Today was the consultation with the Doc who will perform the 'exorcism'. I am beginning to understand comedians and comediennes who make light of their darker times in their material. This little gem from my wife relayed to me a short time ago:

Surgeon - Let me just feel the lump
Wife - The discharge papers say it's about 10cm across and looking on the web that appears to be the upper size of these things.
Surgeon - 10cm? My dear this is more the size of a melon!
Wife - I hope you mean a Honeydew and not a watermelon!

Now, if that had been said in a sit-com, I would have smiled but thought how unrealistic it was. Now I know differently.

The upshot of today is that there is a definite need to remove the offending article (no shit Sherlock) but the 'back specialists' need to confirm that it will be safe to operate before the spine is sorted. This requires an attendance at a further appointment next Friday but, as the doc has supplied his secretaries number, on being given the go-ahead (we hope), we can book her in so sometime in January looks on the cards. This will possibly mean some kind of hiatus from the blog but I don't suppose anyone will be too upset.

One last thing before I sign off for now. I have been asked why I haven't told my wife that I am writing this. Well, there are a number of reasons. Firstly, she would find this a gross intrusion of her privacy. My thoughts are that, as the vast majority of those reading this do not and probably will never know either of us, there is no issue. For those of you that do know me - please be aware that information passed on in this blog are never to get back to her. Secondly, if I am supposed to be 'strong' for my wife during what is likely to be a long process, I need an outlet for my worries, insecurities and downright pathetic moans. Doing it here reduces the possibility that I will do it at home. Finally, and possibly most simply, for those who ask, it is none of your business! In the nicest possible way of course :)

As I have said at the end of most of my blogs - both humorous and otherwise, Keep Loving. If you don't, you may find it is too late. I hope to post some more of my inane ramblings on other subjects soon but you may just have to put up with more of Life's Little Dramas for the time being.
