  1. Bicycle injury

    "The pastor asked if anyone in the congregation would like to express Praise for answered prayers.

    A lady stood and walked to the podium. She said, "I have a Praise. Two months ago, my husband, Tom, had a terrible bicycle wreck and his scrotum was completely crushed. The pain was excruciating and the doctors didn't know if they could help him.

    You could hear an audible gasp from the men in the Congregation as they imagined the pain that poor Tom must have experienced.

    She continued, "Tom was unable to hold me or the children and every move caused him terrible pain. We prayed as the doctors performed a delicate operation. They were able to piece together the crushed remnants of Tom' s scrotum and wrap wire around it to hold it in place."

    Again, the men in the Congregation were unnerved and squirmed uncomfortably as they imagined the horrible surgery performed on Tom.

    She continued, "Now, thank the Lord, Tom is out of the hospital and the doctor's say that with time, his scrotum should recover completely."

    All the men sighed with relief.

    The pastor rose and tentatively asked if anyone else had anything to say.

    A man rose and walked slowly to the podium. He said, "I'm Tom, and I want to tell my wife the word is sternum."

  2. On the subject of Colonoscopies. Colonoscopies are no joke, but these comments during the exam were quite humorous. A physician claimed that the following are actual comments made by his patients (predominately male) while he was performing their colonoscopies:

    1. "Take it easy, Doc. You're boldly going where no man has gone before!

    2. "Find Amelia Earhart yet?"

    3. "Can you hear me NOW?"

    4. "Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet?"

    5. "You know, in Arkansas, we're now legally married."

    6. "Any sign of the trapped miners, Chief?"

    7. "You put your left hand in, you take your left hand out..."

    8. "Hey! Now I know how a Muppet feels!"

    9. "If your hand doesn't fit, you must quit!

    10. "Hey Doc, let me know if you find my dignity."

    11. "You used to be an executive at Enron, didn't you?"

    12. "God, now I know why I am not gay."

    And the best one of all.

    13. "Could you write a note for my wife saying that my head is not up there?"

  3. I realize this is late notice and am so sorry about that.

    Anyway, we have a lung cancer advocacy meeting scheduled for tonight at 6:30 in memphis.

    Dr. Matthew Ninan (chief thoracic surgeon at UT) will be speaking about lung cancer advocacy. If you live within driving distance we would love for you to come. Send me a note and I will e-mail the info.

    God Bless!!

  4. Amber,

    Your story touches my heart and I am so sorry to hear about what your grandmother is going through.

    If chemo is not an option what about Tarceva? Did they mention that?

    How are her pain levels? Is she comfortable?

    Here is a website that you could pose any lung cancer questions you may have to a reknowned lung cancer specialist. It is a great site with a wealth of information.

    God Bless!

    Yesterday was the past, tomorrow is the future and today is a gift and that's why it is called the present!!!
