ER Nurse: “Would you like to wait for the doctor to see you or would you like me to torture you for a while myself?”
C & C: “Excuse me?”
ER Nurse: “You can wait for the doctor or I can torture you myself.”
How exactly are you supposed to answer that?

When I broke my pinky toe in college (my first broken bone ever), I called the health clinic and talked to a nurse. I said the toe hurt a lot and looked bruised. She asked, “Is it black?” I said, “Yes!” She said, “Oh, you’ll have to come in right away! We need to cut it off!” I said, “What?!?” And then she started laughing. “Only kidding.” Grrr.

Uh, yeah – what Jess said… If you’re blogging, you’re probably o.k., but a trip to the ER isn’t usually just a fun thing to do on a date. Hope everything is fine with you two?

C & C are both fine, thanks for asking.
C had a headache that lasted for 9 hours Saturday night and brought tears to his eyes.
C does not take kindly to things that make C cry.
She dragged a mostly incapacitated C to the emergency room at 1:30 in the morning.
(Did we mention that C loves C?)
Said conversation took place there.
Narcotics were given. C’s head was scanned for cats.
At 3 in the morning, an even more incapaciated, but no longer crying, C was taken home by C.
Next day, C&C were very, very tired. No lasting after effects have been experienced.
Sorry to worry you. Glad to know you were worried.
