Much ado about nothing
I am on the second day of a detox/cleanse where I do nothing but eat fruits and vegetables.
I'm doing it to try to rid my body of the approximately 10 pounds of chocolate I have consumed since losing the baby, thanks in part to Misfit, who sent me AMAZING brownies.
The flash on my camera is broken and I will have to part with it for at least a week, if not two, while it's being repaired.
I will twitch the entire time.
And now, another fun medical story:
When my husband checked on a patient who had been given a spinal (which makes you numb from the waist down) the patient said "Doc, I can't feel my dick".
To which my husband replied "Don't worry, it's still there."
I can not even tell you how amused I was when he told me that. I have no idea how the husband kept a straight face.
He is a stronger man than I.

I love that story. I could totally see Dr. T.'s face.

Oh boy; the men in the US must be different from the ones in Oz- I can pretty much guarantee that EVERY (male) spinal I do, as soon as they get to recovery, they ALL either lift the sheets or go the grope to check that it's still there.

Oh jeez. The guilt. Although, if you're having missing camera phantom pain, I could send along some more brownies.

I love that all he cared about was feeling his boy bits.

Oh, Dr. Torrie SO missed his chance to say, "It feels just fine to me, honey!"
