DAY LATE MANY DOLLARS SHORT

 ***** A DAY OR SO LATE WITH THE POST THIS WEEK . A GOOD REASON PREVENTED ME FROM BEING ON TIME .

AFTER THREE YEARS OF EXTENDED HOSPITAL STAYS AND MORE THAN A HUNDRED TREATMENTS IT WAS CHILI PEPPER'S TURN TO PLAY THE MEDICAL GAME .

MY LITTLE CHUNK OF LOVE HAD TO HAVE A DEFECTIVE VALVE IN HER HEART REPLACED. PRAISE THE LORD CHILI PEPPER CAME THROUGH THE SURGERY FINE . ALL FIVE HOURS OF IT .

SHE IS EXPECTED TO BE BACK FULL SPEED IN ABOUT SIX WEEKS .

THIS MEANS WE WILL SWITCH ROLES FOR THE NEXT FEW WEEKS . SHE WILL BE THE PATIENT AND I WILL BE THE NURSE .

CHILI PEPPER IS IN BIG TROUBLE . SHE WAS A GREAT NURSE ,I WAS A GREAT PATIENT { ACCORDING TO ME } BUT I DON'T THINK I WILL BE MUCH OF A NURSE .

CHILI PEPPER MAY BE A TAD DIFFICULT AS A PATIENT ALSO . SO WE NEED YOUR PRAYERS .

BUT AS ALWAYS IN TIMES OF NEED OUR TWO TRUMP CARDS ARE READY .

MY MOM AND CHILI PEPPER'S SISTER ANNIE ARE ON THE SCENE AND IN FULL CONTROL . ANNIE LIVES NEXT DOOR AND MOM HAS MOVED IN FOR A WHILE .

SO CHILI PEPPER & I ARE IN BETTER HANDS THAN ALL STATE .

****** PART OF THE HOSPITAL TIME I WAS IN THE LOBBY WATCHING PEOPLE . I SAW SEVERAL I KNEW .

THEY ASKED ME WHAT I WAS DOING IN THE LOBBY . I TOLD THEM I OWED THE HOSPITAL SO MUCH MONEY THAT I HAD BEEN REPOSSESSED AND WAS BEING USED TO DECORATE THE LOBBY .

I WOULD NEVER WANT TO BE A DOCTOR . THE HOURS ARE TOO LONG , THE WORK TOO TENSE , AND YOU DON'T GET ANY DO - OVERS .

IN SPORTS , NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS THERE IS ALWAYS ANOTHER GAME .

NO ONE ELSE THOUGHT  IT WAS A GOOD IDEAL FOR ME TO BE A DOCTOR EITHER .

******** BASKETBALL TOURNAMENTS START IN A WEEK OR SO . IT IS ONE OF THOSE YEARS WHERE A LOT OF TEAMS COULD WIN .  BOTH MEN AND WOMEN .

HIGH SCHOOL CHAMPIONSHIPS COULD BE DECIDED THIS WEEK . I SURE DID ENJOY BASKETBALL MORE WHEN THEY PLAYED THE OLD STYLE .

NOW THE GAMES ARE OUT OF CONTROL ,THE REFS CAN'T CALL TEN PERCENT OF THE FOULS .  

I HAVE SEEN A RETURN TO SOME ZONE DEFENSE . I LOVE TO WATCH A GOOD ZONE TEAM PLAY . 

THE WOMEN HAVE SOME COLORFUL COACHES . KIM MULKEY AND SHERRY COALS LOOK LIKE THEY JUST WALKED IN FROM A FINE HONKEY TONK .

AND GENO IS A DEAD RINGER FOR MY COUSIN TERRY WHO IS A PREACHER AND A GOSPEL SINGER . OLE TERRY PLAYS THAT PIANO  LIKE JERRY LEE .

****** HAVE YOU EVER HEARD THE SONG YOU WIN AGAIN . LOOK IT UP ON YOU TUBE . JUST MAKE SURE IT IS THE HANK WILLIAMS VERSION  . EITHER BY HANK OR JERRY LEE OR EMMY LOU .

I GOING TO GO LISTEN RIGHT NOW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
