" THEY MADE ME STIFF "

YESTERDAY MIKE HAD THE SECOND SURGERY ON HIS NOSE FOR THE SKIN CANCER.  IT WAS QUITE THE ORDEAL-MUCH LIKE THE FIRST TIME AROUND.  I TRIED TO MAKE THE HOURS GO BY FASTER BY BRINGING THE GAME "PHASE 10" WITH US.  IT DID HELP SOME, BUT MIKE STILL WANTED TO KNOW WHY WE COULD NOT GO HOME AFTER EACH TIME THEY TOOK HIM BACK TO CUT A LITTLE MORE.   THEY SAID THAT FOR SURE MIKE WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO BEND DOWN FOR AT LEAST TWO DAYS, AS IT WOULD MAKE HIS NOSE BLEED, AND I STARTED TO REMIND HIM OF THAT WHILE WE WERE STILL THERE.  HIS REPLY??  "THE GROUND WILL WONDER WHERE I AM".  ALTHOUGH I AM SURE THAT HE THINKS THIS IS CORRECT, I ASSURED HIM THAT THE GROUND WOULD BE THAT MUCH HAPPIER TO SEE HIM WHEN HE IS ABLE. ALSO I TOLD HIM TO THINK OF THE FUN HE WILL HAVE WITH ALL THOSE NEW WEEDS TO PULL.  IN CASE YOU DON'T REALLY KNOW MIKE-YOU'VE PROBABLY ALREADY GUESSED THAT HIS PASSION IS PULLING WEEDS, AND DOING OTHER YARD WORK.  THINGS THAT WOULD TIRE OUT A 20 YEAR OLD, MIKE CAN DO WITH EASE.  HE CAN SPEND HOURS EACH DAY PULLING WEEDS, AND WORKING IN THE YARD.  HE NEVER SEEMS TO TIRE OF IT.
THEN THERE WAS THIS COMMENT ON OUR WAY HOME "THEY MADE ME STIFF".  I NOT UNDERSTANDING WHAT HE SAID, ASKED HIM TO REPEAT IT.  HE ONCE AGAIN SAID " THEY DID SOMETHING TO MAKE ME STIFF".  STILL TRYING TO UNDERSTAND WHAT HE WAS TRYING TO TELL ME, I ASKED HIM WHAT HE MEANT, WAS HE STIFF ALL OVER OR WHAT EXACTLY IS STIFF.  HE REPLIED "MY NOSE, I CAN'T MOVE IT-IT'S STIFF".  I ALMOST L.O.L. THINKING TO MYSELF, DOES HE THINK HE IS LIKE SAMANTHA ON BEWITCHED AND CAN TWITCH HIS NOSE?  WHO MOVES THEIR NOSE???  JUST ONE MORE OF THE FUNNY THINGS THAT IS COMING OUT OF MIKE'S MOUTH THESE DAYS.
OH, ONE MORE THING.  MIKE SAID HE COULD NOT SLEEP LAST NIGHT BECAUSE I WAS HAVING A BARKING CONTEST WITH OUR TWO DOGS!!!  I ASKED HIM JUST TO MAKE SURE I HAD HEARD HIM CORRECTLY- DO YOU MEAN I WAS BARKING LIKE A DOG-WOLF WOLF??  HE SAID YES, AND IT KEPT ME AWAKE ALL NIGHT!!  OH WELL, SOMETHING NEW I LEARNED ABOUT MYSELF-I APPARENTLY THINK I AM OF THE K-9 PERSUASION AT TIMES!!!  TILL TOMORROW-JUST ME
