Operation

The day of goodness draws near. Monday I will enter a place filled with knives intended to cut human flesh...and I couldn't be happier! Finally, after nearly 2 years of living what I am sure the people in Hades will not even experience, I will have sinus surgery. In my last appointment with my doctor, I asked him what he will most likely remove from my clogged schnaz cavity. He looked at me thoughtfully, though surely shuttering inside, and said, "Well, I see lots of stuff. I'll probably cut away some tissue that has grown (a nice way of saying something living has attached itself to you and is feeding) and then I'll open up the actual passage and remove the congestion. This usually ranges from a clear like fluid, to green peanut butter." Ah, the horrid that engulfed my body as he finished that last sentence. "Could he possibly know..." I wondered, "about 11 year old scouts when we all snorted peanut butter on a dare for Billy's king size candybar??? Surely that error is not the cause of my current discomforted state." As I held back the dry heaves, a smile eventually crept over my face as I wondered of the stories he would surely tell his friends after dealing with my clogged sinuses. "You should have seen it Fred!! Whatever was up there was actually counter blocking, and trying to throw a right hook at my scalpal!" Wish me luck!!!
