I guess it’s true that if you think you have it bad there is always someone somewhere who has it a lot worse. This morning as I was pumping 300 gallons of water out of my basement, in what is now a morning ritual, I decided I would bite the bullet and spend $3800.00 to have this flooding problem fixed. I have had 3 estimates. The highest was for a B-dry system – $5900.00 and I could never afford that at this time, but I have been putting the decision off hoping the water would stop coming in because I don’t like to make decisions when I am stressed, or when I feel pressured. But it rained all day yesterday and last night and when I went downstairs this morning I had enough, you know? So I made the call and committed to have the work done. Then I sat down to look for something to blog about and I found the Fox News Story , entitled, “Bush Declares Major Disaster in Central U.S. After Flood Kills at Least 13″. Let me share the visual with you.
This news was very humbling to me and I realized that my problem was not nearly as bad as a lot of other people who are truly suffering right now. I cannot imagine what it would be like to be rescued from a flood by a motor boat or having my business float away and get wedged under a bridge. So I guess my little problem can be corrected and I am grateful that I still have my life, my house, my business, my car and all my belongings! What are you grateful for today?
But as I was looking at the news page I found another article entitled:
“Woman Goes for Leg Operation, Gets New Anus
Instead”
Okay, what immediately crossed my mind was the image of an anus:
The next image that crossed my mind was that of a leg:
Then I thought how could anyone ever confuse the two? Then I thought how do they give you a new anus? I didn’t know that was possible. And, under what circumstances would a new anus be required? I was perplexed! So I read the article, which was so short I can paste it below and even though it was short it kind of explained the new anus dilemma, which was such a relief!
A German retiree is taking a hospital to court after she went in for a leg operation and got a new anus instead, the Daily Telegraph is reporting.
The woman woke up to find she had been mixed up with another patient suffering from incontinence who was to have surgery on her sphincter.
The clinic in Hochfranken, Bavaria, has since suspended the surgical team.
Now the woman is planning to sue the hospital. She still needs the leg operation and is searching for another hospital to do it.
Image waking up with a new sphincter! Did I mention that I love the word sphincter? What pain-in-the-Ass!
haha, I read that one about the anus! I have also read about the woman who wakes up in a plane with semen in her hair.
Geez, the flooding in your country looks terrible.
Ick semen, I didn’t see that, darn! Yeah the flooding is terrible!
Omg! That is filarious!! That picture of the anus almost got me fired!! ahahah!!
Glad you thought it was funny! Sorry about the almost firing though! Something about that word and picture association cracks me up too!
WTF? Nothing like hiney hole humor.
Beautiful! Laughing so hard I’m crying.
Ya know that ass looks like my ex’s husband’s face and when he talks that water spays out. Do you think he still loves me? ROFLMAO
Hiney hole humor – Ha Ha, I love it too. Glad your laughing. Sorry to remind you of your X’s face it wasn’t my intention at all. If water is spraying out when your husband talks it could be an indication that he still loves you because he is drooling too much in your presence, or he could be suffering from a little known condition called, ptyalism from the Greek ptualismos meaning to let run from the mouth ~ drivel or excess salivation. He may want to get himself checked.!
Ok anus image shock aside, this is funny in a “sure glad that wasn’t me” kinda way. Nice collection of sphincter pics. LOL. Thanks for the morning gross out humor. Veronica
Sometimes my demented side sneaks out and I feel like I’m in it for the shock value, if you know what I mean. Thanks for using the word “sphincter” in your comment it made my day! LOL. You are welcome for the “morning gross out humor”, I am glad to oblige.
How the doctors could look at that woman’s no doubt healthy sphincter and not see that it did not need replacing or repair is beyond me. They did not need to be suspended. No,they needed to be fired right on the spot. Incompetence on that level should probably be punishable by jail time and fines as well as disbarments from practicing medicine. Sad. Poor woman. God bless her.
I imagine a group of surgical doctors standing back looking at the healthy woman’s sphincter and agreeing: “We could make this better, we have the technology…” LOL
