Definitely not a FIRST, but a THIRD World problem....mine

Typing this in a morphine-imduced haze, and typos rampant, but:

So am in Fairbanks hospital after major surgery, and now missing good portion of my colon (entire caecum), but theoretically will recover.

And today case person comes in and, among other questions, asks whether my house i'll be going back to "Has plumbing?"


Now, THAT is not a question they would think of asking at the Scottsdale Mayo Clinic!!!!!! But this is Alaska, and it's a necessary question.

That is all.

ggr: as apposite as your post was, what definitely did NOT need to read was a line that put me in stitches. Cuz I already am....plus, have no stomach muscles to hold my gut in, so to speak. The only thing that hurts worse than laughing is sneezing. Yeeeooww:scared:


Thanks for the fine thoughts, everyone. PLUS......we are strongly looking into cancelling almost our entire tourist season (gulp), and recuperating in the south. So there all of a sudden has opened up an excellent possibility that I will be around that part of the country in 53 days from now. Never thought I could get to TMC Connect....
