Jo and those damned labs

[Guest guest]

Jo

Dont you think since I am one week post-op that I should keep my blood in me for

another week or so, just in case I need it?!?!?!

Give me a little break Mum!

-Who will show you her boobs one day too! (No, Jim, I said NO!)

> Give me a little break Mum!

============================

I've raised hard headed male creatures and have found giving them a

break just doesn't work....and I'm thinking Aussie Chicks are a bit

hard headed also...lol.

Make you a deal....at least promise me your taking ALL your

vitamins, iron, calcium and getting in lots of protein...you need

the building blocks for healing both your arm and your boobs. In

return I'll stop nagging until Dec. That gives you a month and 1/2

to get your labs done all on your own. To show mum you will do it

without being nagged every 5 seconds.

Deal?

Jo

(psst...hey guys I'm taking side bets that I'll HAVE to here nagging

her in December....any takers!)

Jo:

In deference to the distaff membership here (probably some 90%) I have to take

issue with you, Mum. If you objectively evaluate the situation you will accept

that we men are far and away the more compliant and sensible members of this

group. If I am told to keep my feet elevated you will seldom see me with both

flat on the ground. Well, except when I'm working on my computer...or watching

TV...or eating. Well, I guess I don't prop them up all that much but good

intentions must count for something. It's only logical.

And when it comes to taking medication, I always take mine just when I'm

supposed to. Well, at least I take it all. Some nights I have to take my noon,

5:00 pm, dinner and bedtime meds all at once. But I'm sure they work just as

well - nearly. They are always well separated from my morning medications which

I always take by 9:00 AM, or at least 10:00. Or occasionally when I sleep late

I am careful to take them by 1:00 PM. Well usually I may take them between

12:00 and 1:00, but I space them out from my lunch, evening, dinner and bedtime

ones. Usually.

Now whether " Aussie chicks " are as consumed with logic as we American guys are I

don't know. But I would hope that all your mothering (read nagging) is

unnecessary.

Regards.

Joe...you must be feeling good cuz your brimming with piss and

vinegar! Which, of course, is a natural state for you to be in.

Loved your sass
