HOWARD’S DAILY CHRONICLE
NUMBER 22 VOL 10
MAY 22ND 2008
WEATHER; WARM, MED HUMIDITY, 56/88 DEGREES
WE WENT TO BONHAM VA THIS MORNING TO HAVE THE DOCTOR LOOK AT MY TOE, I WAS HOPING HE WOULD LANCE IT AND DRAIN THE BLOOD TO RELEAVE THE PRESSURE BUT HE WOULDN’T BECAUSE OF MY DIABEDIES AND POSSIBLE INFECTION! HE SAID TO KEEP IT ELEVATED AND SOAK IT IN HOT EPSUM SALTS AND TRY NOT TO BREAK THE SKIN AND LET THE BLOOD OUT, HE HOPES SOME NEW SKIN WILL GROW UNDER THE OLD AND KEEP INFECTION DOWN BUT, HE DID SEND ME UP STAIRS FOR AN X-RAY!
AFTER THE X-RAY WE HEADED FOR HOME AND BRUNCH! I’VE KEPT IT ELEVATED ALL DAY AND EVENING AND WILL SOAK IT IN THE MORNING! I GOT A CALL FROM THE DOCTOR ABOUT 6:30 PM AND HE SAID IT APPEARS THE TOE HAS A SMALL BREAK AND I’M TO GO BACK TO THE VA TOMORROW AND GET FITTED FOR A “BOOT CAST” SO WE’RE GOING IN THE MORNING! I’LL HAVE TO WAIT TO SEE IF THEY’RE GOING TO PUT A PERMINANT CAST ON IT! I GUESS IT DEPENDS ON HOW QUICK AND GOOD IT HEALS WITH THE BOOT CAST ON! DR. GEORGE IS EAST INDIAN AND I HAVE TROUBLE UNDERSTANDING HIM BUT MOM WILL FIND OUT WHAT COMES NEXT TOMORROW!
WHEN THE HANG THAT BOOT ON MY FOOT IT REALLY IS GOING TO GROUND ME, I WON’T BE ABLE TO DRIVE, I’LL HAVE TROUBLE NAVIGATING WHEN WE GO PLACES AS IF I DON’T HAVE ENOUGH PROBLEMS NOW WITH MY FEET! OF COURSE I HEAL FAST SO MAYBE IT WON’T BE ON LONG! I STILL FIND IT HARD TO BELIEVE IT’S BROKEN, OTHER THAN THE CRACKS IN MY SKULL FROM THE CAR ACCIDENT IN 1950 I’VE NEVER HAD A BROKEN BONE AND THIS DOESN’T LOOK OR FEEL BROKEN, I CAN MOVE IT AND IT DOESN’T HURT AT ALL! OH WELL, I’LL DO WHAT THEY SAY AND HOPE FOR THE BEST!
SHANNON TOOK HER CAR BACK TO THE PEOPLE SHE BOUGHT IT FROM ABOUT THE A/C NOT WORKING AND THEY TOLD HER SHE RAN OVER SOMETHING AND POKED A HOLE IN ONE OF THE A/C LINES AND LOST ALL THE OIL OUT THE SYSTEM! I DIDN’T KNOW A/C LINES RAN THAT CLOSE TO THE GROUND! SHE THINKS IT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH A ROCK ROAD SHE HAS TO PULL INTO FOR SOME REASON, MY OPINION IS SHE WOULD HAVE TO BE GOING 40-50 MPH WHEN SHE’S ON IT TO KICK A ROCK UP THAT HARD TO POKE A HOLE IN A STAINLESS STEEL/RUBBER LINE! THEY’VE AGREED TO SPLIT THE LABOR WITH HER BUT I ASSUME SHE WILL HAVE TO PAY FOR A NEW LINE, COMPRESSOR, FREON AND ½ OF THE LABOR! I DON’T EVEN WANT TO VENTURE A GUESS ON WHAT THE BOTTOM LINE ON THIS WILL BE!
TODAY WAS TIM AND ELYSE’S WEDDING ANIVERSARY, I DON’T REMEMBER THE # BUT MOM CALLED AND WISHED THEM A HAPPY ANIVERSARY AND I WANT TO DO THE SAME HERE, HAPPY ANIVERARY KIDS AND MANY MORE! DAD! THEY’RE CHURCH ANIVERSARY WAS ON THE 20TH OF MAY!
NUNS AND HOT DOGS
TWO NUNS TOOK THEIR FIRST TRIP OUTSIDE THE CONVENT. THEY HAD NEVER SEEN A BASEBALL GAME, SO THEY GOT TICKETS. ONCE INSIDE, THEY SAT IN THE BLEACHERS, AND HEARING A VENDER SELLING HOT DOGS, ONE SAID, "WE'VE NEVER HAD HOT DOGS BEFORE," AND THEY DECIDED TO ORDER A COUPLE.
THE FIRST NUN UNWRAPPED HER HOT DOG, AND PROCEEDED TO QUICKLY WRAP IT UP AGAIN, SAYING, "OH, MY!"
"WHAT'S WRONG” ASKED HER COMPANION.
"WELL,” CAME THE REPLY,"WHICH PART OF THE DOG DID YOU GET"
THAT’S “30” FOR THIS ISSUE.
