Re: Need a giggle? Look here!
So funny. I love the dog one. Looks like I am not going to be able to have my surgery. Don't know when or if it will work out. I was diagnosed recently with Systemic Mastocystosis. It makes surgery problematic. Actually, it makes lots of things problematic. It is kind of like being nibbled to death by ducks (without the death part). Thankful, though that it not the worst kind. I hate that you got cancer but your sense of humor has been uplifting for the rest of us.
