Never too old to learn
My hands are wobbly, but nothing's shaking. That doesn't make sense. I mean, I write a letter and the line is bumpy, but if I hold up my hand everything is still. Is that better?
While I was in the hospital I learned I have a flank. I took Anatomy in college and got an A, but I swear, I never heard that word applied to humans. In the butcher shop, yes, but not out of the kitchen. I kept pointing and nurses kept saying, "Pain in your left flank?" I felt like a baby learning body parts. (Where's your nose? Theeeeeere's your nose!)
Did I tell you I celebrated my birthday in the hospital? But it's a good thing I did because, if I'd stayed home, it might be another 68 years before I learned I had a flank. At least I know I have a left one, presumably a right one too.
I don't know what I'm going to do with all this knowledge.

Some days you just crack me up - I have a similar sense of humor. I also did not know that humans have flanks - all I can think of is a "flank steak"! Glad you are feeling much better - have fun with the family!
