Gotta love grandmas

"Did they touch your sex organs?" says our 93 year old grandma to my brother after he describes his surgery.  Yes, folks the first sentence out of her mouth-gotta love Enola.  
He replied, "NO!  but they did take my appendix out and didn't tell me".  We have many funny stories while Lar was in the hospital.  One of the best was when he found out he got his appendix out.  A very meek and mild resident came in to examine him two days after surgery.  She felt his right side and he flinched because it was tender.  The poor girl said, "oh that's normal, that's where your appendix was".  My brother was shocked and not happy (to say the least) that the surgeon did not tell him that he took his appendix out.  His famous line to this very sweet and innocent resident, "it would be nice to let a guy know that he doesn't have an appendix anymore!"  He proceeded to tell EVERYONE and ANYONE that came to visit that they took out his appendix and did not tell him!  For those of you that don't know my brother well....he is the most even tempered and easy going guy you will ever meet.  That's why we were so shocked at his reaction and his new obsession with losing a useless body part.


We went and visited our grandma today.  She was very concerned about her favorite grandchild and his 'manhood'.  You all will be relieved to hear that my grandma (a nurse 40 years ago) approved of his incision and felt very confident of cousin Kelly's ability to remove the staples.
We had a great visit with grandma full of food and laughter.  Just what we needed.


Sox it to it Lar....
