A Trip Better Skipped -- Aka: Docs These Days

His soft tissue, it ripped All his discs, they had slipped To the ER, the ambulance zipped To right this poor fellow's ship His wife's hand he gripped On the worrisome trip His whole world had flipped His wings had been clipped... The monitors blipped His confidence dipped Liquid steroids he sipped Drip-drip, drip-drip Here the doc snipped Over there did he clip Then he grinned, and he quipped 'You've no more spine ~ Just a postscript.'

This sounds painful, I hope, if it really happened, that you're on the mend (also like the line 'his wings had been clipped')

Thanks for your concern. Luckily, this was pure fiction. I'm very healthy from the waist up. From the waist down---I'm a disaster area. That I can walk is a minor miracle. Warmest wishes, Michelle. ~ gw

I agree--- but looking down, it looks as if we're the only two who felt this way. 'Their loss!' LOL.... Glad that you enjoyed it, Kim. Appreciated. ~ gw
