This time I have a good excuse
No, I mean it

The past few weeks have been a big trial for me.

It started with a pain in my right side. I went to a clinic near my office. I then spent the next 10 hours in the ER. The clinic said I had a very high white blood cell count. The ER told me that it's probably my gallbladder.

In the next couple of days the cold I caught at the ER sets in. I go see my DR.

Then I go see a gastrointestinal specialist. As soon as he comes in, he says I probably have an ulcer. He then says he has no idea why the ER would have even mentioned my gallbladder. the next day they stick a camera in my stomach to confirm the fact the I do have an ulcer.

A number of days later I go back to my doctor because I have some congestion, a very bad cough, and my left ear is bothering me. The ear problem turns out to be a major infection that I am still,two weeks later, dealing with.

No, I'm not looking for sympathy. I just wanted to actually have a good reason for taking so long to write anything. So, there you have it. That's my story, and I'm sticking to it.

God bless,
Mr. Keith

Keith! You left all of this good stuff sans the ulcer the last time I asked how you were. Are you feeling better?

- You can't park in that spot - it's too small for your car.

I'm feeling great. The ear is fine. The cough and congestion are gone.
I go see the gastrointestinal specialist next month, and he told me the last time I talked to him that he's sure that the ulcer will be completely healed the next time they stick a camera in me.

OOOHHH! That sounds fun! If someone is going to violate you like that I think you should at least get a video to take home from it.
