449 – Just Another Monday

Well, our car shopping seems to have come to a standstill as my wife is considering keeping her existing car. She is the only person I know and have known that doesn’t get excited looking for a new car. I can’t figure it out.

Other than that, Mom’s still doing the same, still in the nursing facility. She seems to get well for weeks, then when we start doubting having her in there, she takes a big fall and reminds us why she’s there. I was there one morning while they were taking her blood pressure, and noticed it was 102 over 42. I was…. FOURTY TWO?? No wonder she falls. She stands up, gets dizzy and falls. And she’s on high blood pressure medication! Keep in mind, she’s lost over 40 pounds in there by now too. When I asked the doctor to take her off or lower the blood pressure meds, he steadfastly refused. The nurses there, all got together, had a meeting, and decided she needs to change doctors which we all approved of and the new doctor took her off one medicine and now she’s more like 116 over 65 which makes me a lot happier. Got to watch them like a hawk I guess…

On to something funny:

I was sitting in the waiting room of the hospital after my wife had gone into labour and the nurse walked out and said to the man sitting next to me, "Congratulations sir, you're the new father of twins!"
The man replied, "How about that, I work for the Doublemint Chewing Gum Company." The man then followed the woman to his wife's room.
About an hour later, the same nurse entered the waiting room and announced that Mr. Smith's wife has just had triplets. Mr. Smith stood up and said, "Well, how do ya like that, I work for the 3M Company."
The gentleman that was sitting next to me then got up and started to leave. When I asked him why he was leaving, he remarked, "I think I need a breath of fresh air."
The man continued, "I work for 7-UP."

 

A mother and her daughter were at the gynecologist's office. The mother asked the doctor to examine her daughter. "She has been having some strange symptoms and I'm worried about her," the mother said.
The doctor examined the daughter carefully and then announced, "Madam, I believe your daughter is pregnant."
The mother gasped, "That's nonsense! Why, my little girl has nothing whatsoever to do with men." She turned to the girl. "You don't, do you, dear?"
"No, mumsy," said the girl. "Why, you know that I have never so much as kissed a man!" The doctor looked from mother to daughter, and back again. Then, silently he stood up and walked to the window, staring out.
He continued staring until the mother felt compelled to ask, "Doctor, is there something wrong out there?"
"No, Madam," said the doctor. "It's just that the last time anything like this happened, a star appeared in the East and I was looking to see if another one was going to show up."

 

Have a wonderful Monday all…!
