A word about my blog .....

I'm using this blog to keep notes on my life and experiences, plus to keep track of my own recovery from a stroke (December 2006).

For those of you who were not aware, my brother, John, died on February 10, 2010. His remains were cremated and interred at Green Hills Memorial Park.

COMMENTS ARE ENCOURAGED, WELCOMED AND APPRECIATED.

0918 WARNING!! R-rated joke below

I don't usually share risque jokes, but I have to share this one and I will explain why afterwards. I received this joke from my cousin Randi earlier today and it's quite timely; it also shows that we share the same warped sense of humor. I already accept that I'll be censured or disavowed by my Koinonia lifegroup. So if you're sensitive to such things, then read no further.

A male patient is lying in bed in the hospital, wearing an oxygen mask over his mouth and nose, still heavily sedated from a difficult four hour, surgical procedure. A young student nurse appears to give him a partial sponge bath.

"Nurse", he mumbles, from behind the mask. "Are my testicles black?"

Embarrassed, the young nurse replies "I don't know, Sir. I'm only here to wash your upper body and feet."

He struggles to ask again, "Nurse, are my testicles black?"

Concerned that he may elevate his vitals from worry about his testicles, she overcomes her embarrassment and sheepishly pulls back the covers. She raises his gown, holds his penis in one hand and his testicles in the other, lifting and moving them around. Then, she takes a close look and says, "There's nothing wrong with them, Sir!!"

The man pulls off his oxygen mask, smiles at her and says very slowly, "Thank you very much. That was wonderful, but listen very, very closely.....

A r e - m y - t e s t - r e s u l t s - b a c k ? "

I'm still laughing. You see, in order to treat my apnea, I use a BiPAP machine (see pic) every night with a full mask that covers my nose and mouth. Once I put it on, I cannot communicate clearly with my parents. I try to say things like "turn on the fan" or "turn off the light", but will often get mixed results. Just last night, after putting on the mask, I asked my father to turn off the light. He looked around the room and replied, "Frog? What frog?" I laughed so hard I almost hyperventilated.
