Just a few things some of my hospital patients have said lately:

Forty year old woman: “I’m not worried about the cancer coming back.  Been through that already.   I’m over the fear.  I’m lucky; some people never get over it.”

Fifty-year old woman: “BRA-A-I-N surgery tomorrow.  They shaved all these patches out of my hair for these weird stickers.  My hair just started growing back too.”

Sixty-year old man:  “Heh, I love when you guys say that, ‘That’s the LEAST of your problems.’”

Eighty-year old woman: “I was on that boat in New York where all those seniors died.  Lost twenty of my friends.  Then I had a heart attack while on a cruise ship and I had the sick bay to myself the whole time.  God likes kickin’ me around.”

(Or maybe he’s telling you to stay off boats.)

Eighty-year old woman: “We’re retired.  We’re taking some time to rest and relax before it’s time for The Big Rest.”

Ninety-year old man: “At my age, if you wake up with vertigo and nausea, that’s a GOOD day.”

I also got a haircut today (it’s going to be that kind of blog).

This should be an ID badge or drivers license photo, not a blog pic.
