It's been a while since I've posted anything. I've got plenty to say... just haven't made the time to sit down and write!
So here is a forward I got today from a colleague (he stole it from another blog - the reference is noted). Pretty funny! and sad as well.

Do you have any medical problems like heart disease, blood pressure problems, diabetes? No.
Anything you take medicine for on a daily basis? No.

How long were you in the ICU? About 3 weeks. It’s all in my records.
Which hospital? Oh, one of those in New York…I don’t really remember.
