Not long after changing doctors, I hurt my back at work. I picked up a box I should have known was way too heavy for one man to lift. I was having back spasms and a sore neck and went back to Dr. Debra hoping for some muscle relaxers and figuring I might even need physical therapy. I got there and went through the preliminaries of paperwork, vital signs, an...
One of the big lessons I learned the summer I graduated from high school was that if something is worth doing, it's worth doing even if it was your mother's idea. The Park Department was putting on a series of events for young adults, and my mother kept bugging me to go to one of them. "It will get you out of the house," she'd say. "You love the outdoors. It...
While shopping for a boat we saw a listing on CL for a 40' older Chris Craft, so Sunday we decided to go take a look, it was a 45 minute drive to the marina, my wife was wearing a short white pleated tennis skirt and the matching polo top with no bra, sneekers and a visor completed the casual look, when she was in the I car I noticed she had on sheer white p...
Saturday rolled up way too soon to suit me. I would just as soon have stayed in Reno for another week or two. But life calls, so Lee and I bagged up our stuff and headed for the airport. By this time I had long since lost the $10,000 in cash the Casino had given me, but I still had $18,000 of the big win on the $5 slot machine. I asked Lee how she was doin...
Recently I had my gall bladder taken out. Not a big deal these days, in by 6 am and out by 3 pm. So I arrive at the surgi-center and am getting prepped. Doctor, anesthesiologist, and a few nurses scurrying about doing their things. One nurse comes over and introduces herself to me as Shari, and she'll be my surgical nurse. I'm holding my wife's hand of 2...
It's a normal working day at Doctor K's clinic. She just finished examining a 20 year old college student complaining about chest congestion. It was getting late into the evening there were 2 patients still waiting to see her, the nurse calls in Jenny, after about 10 minutes it's the last patient of the day who had a sore nose and a pain in his lower back....
As I was searching through the jumble of clothes trying to find something to wear, Wendy came up behind me. "Will you wear these? I love them on you." It was the purple sweater and a pair of white shorts she had bought for me in Champaign. They had a cuff high up on the leg, and were obviously female. In the happy afterglow of the afternoon, I said yes....
Monday we drove to Minneapolis. I ask Britt if she'd like to drive since we were taking her car. "Nope, I get to sit in the wifey seat while my hubby drives, just like I always dreamed it would be." We checked into the airport Hilton. Britt was blown away by the luxury of the room. For supper I took Britt to a restaurant in the downtown area of Minneapol...
Bryan lived with his mother in a quiet neighborhood. One day Bryan’s mother said “I have to visit your Aunt on Saturday night, so I’ll be leaving you alone.” Bryan was excited, since she had never let him stay alone before. “Oh, and by the way,” his mother then said “I’ve arranged for Mrs. Murphy next door to check on you to make sure you’re ok.” Bryan wa...
It was Amanda's first day as a CNA at Black River Nursing Home. She was put on night shift and was happy as she listened to what her duties was. Amanda began with a bed check that had her walk around the wing and check on the patients. She walked into one room and saw him laying there, staring blankly at her. She went to check on him but found out he had pas...
