Honestly, I don't trust people who have no sense of humor. Just so happens that I like to make people laugh. So perhaps people with no sense of humor don't trust me neither, BECAUSE of my sense of humor.
When I was in the catheter lab at the hospital, I tested the surgeon and a few other people there. I was able to make them all laugh, so I felt better about going into that surgery. Not sure why, though.
Of course, it does have drawbacks sometimes. When Connie was having some severe coughing spells, every time I made her laugh it made her cough even harder. I found it hard to stop myself, because I would do it without thinking.
But thank you for giving me that 24 day respite without rubbing my nose into the fact that I really should have listened to you. I know I deserved it.
Perhaps someday you son will think back about this snake bite thing and laugh about it. Pain is easy to forget about.
