Give me an M, Give me an R

I laid in the tube for a half hour and brought home a bunch of pictures. They don't look very flattering.

When I first laid down, they elevated my knees and I was quite comfortable. It only took a few minutes for the comfort to wear off and become dis-comfort and that eventually turned into pain. But me and pain are old friends and before we had visited very long the whole thing was over.

They helped me off the table and gave me a glass of water to take some aleve and a chair to wait for the films and I was on my way.

Dr. Ouch

Even with all the pain management meds, a new pain has cropped up that sent me back to the Doctor. This time she ordered a new MRI and a consult with a neurosurgeon.

The ouch part is the MRI. I know you just have to lay there but with my back that's the part that hurts. Laying on that flat slab. Hopefully some good will come of it.

chocolate

I like this thinking.


Chocolate Calories

A good piece of chocolate has about 200 calories. As I enjoy
two servings per night, and a few more on weekends, I
consume 3,500 calories of chocolate in a week, which equals
one pound of weight per week.

Therefore...

In the last 3 1/2 years, I have had a chocolate caloric
intake of about 180 pounds. I weigh only 165 pounds, so
without chocolate, I would have wasted away to nothing about
three months ago!

I owe my life to chocolate.
