Buddy the Donkey Goes To Court

Oh my God - I have not laughed this hard in a long time. Bet you won't catch this on Court TV any time soon!

Number 3

Isn't there a saying that the third times a charm? Or is it three strikes - you're out? I have now survived my third exploratory laparotomy in 10 months. For those of you not in the laparotomy loop, that means that my abdomen has been opened with approximately a foot long vertical incision 3 times now in ten months. And did I mention that it is the same incision line each time? This time when they went in they found a hernia. I can't possible imagine why my body would develop a hernia there on the same abdominal wall that has been filleted over and over. Surprise, surprise! The good news is I recover well from surgery. I think it mostly has to do with the fact that I have absolutely no feeling in my abdomen. (i.e. nerves cut during surgeries) The tricky part is remembering that I am injured and healing and there are many things I cannot do. My mother is here to constantly remind me of this! God bless her! So unlike the last two surgeries where I had to wait 6 weeks to resume full activities, now I am going to have to lay low for a year or so. Christ - I'll do anything to not repeat this again!
