Finding the Fun in Less Than Funny Situations

As you know from my sister Pam's Blog:  White O'Morn Cottage her husband, Paul, is in hospital and so is our mother. Same hospital which makes it handy for visiting both of them. Well, I have to tell the story of how Pam and I were visiting them the other day and we got a good laugh out of both their situations. I am one who always looks to bring a smile or laugh to any situation and why not? Laughter is good medicine....so...

...Paul has low calcium levels after his op. which have the symptoms of tingling in the lips. While we were visiting a nurse came round and asked him "Do you have any tingling in your lips?"......I bit my tongue but could not resist piping up with  "Only when Pam kisses him!"

 

 

 

 

 

 

Next we went to see Mam two floors up. Her doctor came round asking questions and such and finished up by saying " I'll get the geriatric doctor to pop in and see you" ...to which Mam answered ...

" The geriatric doctor? I hope he is not doddery - could you not send  me a young one?"

What can I say...I learned it from the master! Haha!

You and your family are lights in my life - your Mam sounds like so much fun and it's not hard to see where you all get your humor from :-)
My prayers are with you all in these trying times and keep smiling - love and healing thoughts and hugs from Utah!

Angie, you did learn from the master! I'm still laughing....I read your post to my hubby, and he's still laughing.

Some of the things both you and Pam write about your family, have such a familiar ring to them.....like you've been observing one of my family's situations. I have three sisters, and we laugh, and have a wonderful time when we are together....which is often.

I love your humor, and I love your family stories......but most of all, I'm touched by the way your family loves and cares for one another.

My very best wishes for your Mother's, and Paul's speedy recovery.
