muffy i got a good laugh about your post. you have a very funny side. yes, boys in particular can make us grey before our time but we gotta love'em. now that my son is older all the things he ignored medically have come back to bite him in the behind. he's creaking around. so now he will attend to those things...ha. i try to not say, i told u so...it's so very tempting. he has to have spinal fusion and i've had the same operation. when he got word that's what they need to do, this big guy who went to iraq x3 calls me up and said, was it very painful, mom? i was tempted to say VERY!!! but i took pity on him cause he must have worried himself sick. when i got the operation he was so supportive and said , mom everything is goin to be ok. you'll be better than new. now the shoe's on the other foot. ...i'll be sweet to him and suggest he milk it to the bone since he's such an active person in his children's life. it'll be like a vacation from the "duties".
thanks for sharing your son's recent adventures.
