#OneLinerWednesday #writingprompt
A week from tomorrow is my next hand operation. The doctor is honestly great, and has tried to fix the problem with as little intrusion into my tissue as possible, but we’re both getting serious. She isn’t yet ready to adopt my prescription of pulling the pin on a grenade and holding it real tight, hence the operation. It made me think of this quote:
“There’s nothing wrong with you that an expensive operation can’t prolong.”
—Surgeon (Graham Chapman), Monty Python’s Flying Circus
A WRITING PROMPT FROM ME TO YOU: Something that can’t be gotten rid of.

November 29, 2023 at 12:52pmThey cut out a cyst, burned off a granuloma, cut out a granuloma, and now they’re doing a deep dive into my palm to see if they can find what the flipping hell is causing all this nonsense. Yeah, I have to do my bit for the economy. Last year it was breast cancer. It’s like jury duty.

December 1, 2023 at 9:49amNo, the year I lost Charlie was a truly shitty year. Last year was breast cancer, and this year has been wrists/palm, and I’m like BRING IT.

December 1, 2023 at 8:33amSo sorry – you must be getting awfully tired of a hurting hand you can’t use very well. Fingers crossed for this one to be IT.

December 1, 2023 at 9:53amFortunately, it doesn’t hurt unless I press it. Operation on December 7th, and at least I can probably expect two or three weeks before it returns, if it does.
