Well, We Almost Made It!
October 8th I departed for the ER with severe abdominal pains.
I woke up one night and looked up; oh my! I had nine IVs stuck in my arm. I thought I was auditioning for a role in "The Human Octopus." The IV stand had been my roommate for two weeks—at least it didn't snore! I was about to ask it for rent when I realized it was just keeping me hydrated. Who knew my new life goal was to become the world's first IV-drip artist?
I made my Escape Plan: "Get up, break free, and hit the vending machine!" But I couldn't decide which was worse: my artistic streak or my cravings for a midnight snack. At least I can say I was "in the drip" for a bit!
No Halloween for Mary and Paul this year! The gang was there and told us what was going on!
My beloved wife spent every day and night at my side; I am a very lucky man!
My costume was ready to go!
Obviously, I was not!
