Cammie,

You never 'ceast' to make me laugh, especially when you're cracking

jokes at my lame attempts at jokes. No, I'm not suggesting that

Vodka isn't natural while attempting to note that it might not be the

best thing postop. However, I have to tell you, there were nights

when I truly considered some of the stuff (or any of it's powerful

counterparts) just to get some sleep in those early postop days! But

too many needed drugs like antibiotics and Sudafed kept me from

sipping some with my numb bottom lip. I made some mean Fuzzy Navels

this weekend with some nice spiced rum ... wish I had thought of some

of those after I was done my meds last year. It'll cure what ails ya

if you like sweetie drinks. Sneaks up on ya!

You are too funny!

Irish!
