Life on display

I discovered this week that life has a twisted sense of humor.

FIRST Life Ha Ha of the week
I know that girls are expensive but combine that with marginal insurance and with large deductibles and a birth can be crippling.

I am on the third of five monthly installments, each of which would buy a large, high end washer/dryer set for the home.... or living room sets.... or five big screen flat panel tv's..... or four months mortgage payments or or or or or.... She better be nice to me when I get old!!!

Second Life Ha Ha of the week
My six year old has her blood taken every six months and her blood work done and analysed. First, she was attended to by a drunk, blind, club footed stutterer who obviously had never drawn blood for anything other then personal recreation and the occasional late night motel room blood doping scheme. She came out of the appointment with a grey bruise the size of North Dakota (I checked on a map!)

The doctor called us frantically with the blood results. Something about her levels are all over the map and that one organ is, for all intensive purposes, no longer working and that another is working overtime because of it. She was put, immediately, on another daily medication and instructed that she will now be required to have her blood work drawn and analysed every three weeks!

Third Life Ha Ha of the week
My oldest son was playing basketball with his brother in the back yard last night and broke his ankle. He came down on his brother's foot and turned the ankle. He spent the rest of the evening in various hospital, doctor and x-ray rooms. He is now in a splint until the swelling recedes. The best part, life's most warped aspect of this break is that he, most likely, (the doctor on call is not sure yet) that he broke the growth plate in his foot. This means that we would need to take him to an orthopedic surgeon to either have it set and cast or for surgery.

And it is only Wednesday...........
