Guest guest Posted January 13, 2011 Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 Lol!! I guess the talking poodles that came to visit me when I was on a post-operative morphine drip were busy! Our minds can conjure up some pretty wacky things on psychotropic meds, for sure! -Annie > > Thanks ladies! > > I just had a good laugh. Fiance told me that I was asking some crazy things > after surgery (Hey, I can't be held responsible for what I say after lots of > anesthesia & pain meds). I guess the first thing I asked him was if I had a > colostomy bag! Not sure where that came from lol. Then they were talking > about what I should order for dinner and I thought they were talking about > stir fry, so I asked him when my stir fry was coming lol. I was on clear > fluid diet at that point. I guess stir fry sounded good =) > > Sorry, just thought I'd share 'cuz it cracked me up. > > Mia > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 13, 2011 Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 LOL Annie, that's for darn sure. I was telling fiance about the talking poodles before surgery. He was joking about it at some point that night trying to get me to laugh. It worked! Mia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
