Said he to she dismissively It's only minor surgery Said she to he lightheartedly Give me the knife I'll play with your life

I'm with you all the way, Jean. My knee replacement in 2016 just about killed me. Never again, just like the Holocaust! :) Gershon

"just surgery" - two words that cancel each other out.

Precisely! Thanks, Caren. May we never know from more 'procedures.' :) Gershon

Lest we forget: Surgery is an invasive procedure. Hope I never have another one. You too, S.A! Cheers, gw

Funny - after being married for almost 15 years (our anniversary's in September) my husband just TODAY authorized me on his bank account - of course, it took cancer to make him do it (dark humor, gotta have it!)

Humor, however and whatever, always makes the medicine a little more palatable... Thanks, Michelle
