Minor Surgery

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

Yikes! I had major surgery in 2008. Never again. Keep your knife outta my sight!!

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
