You Got Some Spleenin' To Do!
« on: April 30, 2008, 04:36:03 PM »
I will do you guys a favour and spare you the story of the sore gut I had last week, how I proceeded to go get a CT, and how I dropped a colossal Lloy'd Bank Turd, which helped a lot.

Short story, I had a lesion on my spleen, which they say had bled, then healed.  It was fine with me to hear that everything is fine now, but of course the wife must pursue it to unreasonable extremes and demand to know how it happened.  Of course I know when I call the Dr's office, they are just going to ask if I played sports, fell down, remember anything that would have caused it, etc... Of course if I knew any of those things happened, I wouldn't have to ask how it happened.  And of course I called them, but they said they'd call me back, and I figure you guys are almost as good as a doctor.  So how does one get a lesion on one's spleen, short of getting speared by a linebacker?

Cherubim is plural; Genesis 3:24 specifies one flaming sword. Presumably flaming swords were in short supply."

This lesion... did they do a biopsy? Or just look at it?

Can you account for all of your time?  Perhaps you were kidnapped and taken to Gitmo for some torture?  Perhaps the anal probe the aliens were using went a little too far up the large intestine and smacked your spleen silly?  Perhaps your wife chloroformed you and then wailed on your side with a field hockey stick?

Yeah that's what I was thinking.

Have you been standing, unprotected, in the core of a nuclear reactor?

Or have you recently purchased a radium paint glow-in-the-dark sex toy from Plupornium? (they've been recalled)

I'm sorry, but the number you have dialed is imaginary. Please rotate the phone by 90 degrees and try again.

i asked my mother, who's in the medical field, and she said more than likely you ran into something. ha.


keep in mind, though, i asked her when she was half-asleep and i was half-drunk, so perhaps i'll ask her again tomorrow and hope for a better explanation.

Do you like your sex rough?

That might explain it.
