Default NSV! FINALLY! "Hip Hip" Hooray!!

So, I just had a repairman come to the house to check over the air conditioning system. We got to talking at the dining room table when he was finished & he told me he just found out yesterday he needed a hip replacement.

Well, I do too, so we talked and talked for over an hour. We talked about the various types of surgery, etc...and arthroscopic hip surgery, where they do a smaller incision & healing time is much quicker. He told me, "Well, I can't get arthroscopic surgery because I am just too big, but for YOU that should not be a problem, because YOU ARE SMALL". HA!!!!!!! HA!!!!! Yes, the man said I am S.M.A.L.L.

Now, mind you, this man was about 6 ft 8" tall, and about 400 lbs., so, yes, "small" is relative, but.........I haven't been called SMALL since I was in diapers, so I think I will celebrate by having one extra popcorn cake tonight. Heck, now that I am "SMALL", I can afford the extra 35 calories. nyuk nyuk! Shoot, by the time the next repairman comes, I'll be shopping in the "petites".
