An Aside


Just need to get some stuff off my chest. Upon examining my newly amputated leg. I learned that I have a BKA which stands for below the knee amputation. I named my amputation nubby and determined that its gender was male. I also decided that BKA stands for bring knee to attention. My knee would stand at attention whenever he wanted to. One of my nurses told me I now know what it feels like to be a man, still scratching my head on that one.

When one of my nurses came to change the bandages I told her that I named my right leg nubby and that he was male. She took offense to nubby being male. She reached over christened my left leg Anita. So I asked her if nubby and Anita got together could they make little nubbettes. This was the last offence she could take so she left my room.

Now having nubby and Anita led me to my knock knock joke.

Knock knock

Who’s there

Anita

Anita who

Anita new leg.

Hardy har har

Moving on my husband knows how hard I worked to lose weight. Those last 10 pounds being the hardest. Greg is in the room with me when the doctor tells us they removed about 10 pounds of leg. Greg turned around and said there are better ways to lose weight. We are not going to just lop off body parts to help me lose weight. I started laughing and couldn’t quit laughing so I had to put my oxygen on.

I told Greg that socks would be a good invest for me. He gave me a strange look and asked why? I replied because they would now last twice as long. To which I got the look, you know the look husbands give wives when they are at a loss for words but want you to know they are annoyed.

If you have any jokes you would like to add feel free to add them.

May God wrap you in his peace and keep you close to his heart.
