Why Didn't You Notice?

[Quixotic1]

Hmmmm.....I was just looking at the forum and it came to me.  I have been complaining, oh these many days, of the severe pain I have in the side of my head (face).  Why didn't any of you notice that I HAVE SALAD TONGS THROUGH MY HEAD!!!!!  No wonder it hurts!!  I could have saved all these dr visit copays and having to take this medicine if some one had just been more observant.

No need to rush in and explain.  Just go about your business...I'l be fine.  (Though I suppose trying to get my hat on should have been a clue...)

I loved your idea.  People might even start to wish they had MS just so they could wear the cool hat!

hehehe  All you've been through this weekend and your sense of humor still intact.  You Go Girl!!

Gosh, I thought it looked like a wishbone. Maybe that's the salad dressing.

Too cool.  I wonder if they make one of those in a meat cleaver style.

[pennst8r]

You are too funny! I noticed that you seemed impailed in some way when your pic went up, but just thought it was an odd fashion statement, or you got too close to one of those windmills, lol!

Gee...everyone complains that people look at them and say "Well, you don't look like you have MS"!  Maybe you could start a new movement...everyone with MS has to wear a salad tong through their head so that we can be easily identified!

Look, there goes Quix, she must have MS cause she has a salad tong through her head!  Gee it's so much easier for us lay people that know nothing and it's so much easier to see and is so much more flattering than those stupid flowered hats!

Ha Ha Ha

I didn't say anything about the tongs in your head because I assumed that you have been told by your doctors that it was caused by one of two things..."it’s all in your head " or "it’s something that happens to women your age."  In either case an anti- depressant should clear that up.

Well since I have a degree in Kitchen Implementology, I can now diagnose you with the dreaded "Salad Tonginitis virus".  yep, I'm sure it's Tonginitis.

I have a cure, but it's a painful one.  Tie one end of the tongs to the back of a pick-up truck, lie very still and have the driver put the vehicle in four wheel drive and PULLLLLLL.

That should help you to feel better.  Take two aspirin and call me in the morning.

You have a wonderful sense of humor, I really love reading your posts!! Too funny about the anesthesiologist, I worked in the OR I know exactly what you mean way too serious they need to step outside the box.  I bet you blew him away.  
Oh by the way, when I was working in the cancer center I started a knitting group for my patients it was so much fun and so joyful to see the patients gather and socialize.  since I'm no longer working, I havent been able to join, I should start one at my house now thats an idea!  
Keep on laughing your the best.

Any suggestions for eye-catching headgear to wear to my appt with Dr. M? Do want to have his undevided attention. You are priceless Q.....It's amazing how polite we can be, same as telling a gent he's not zipped! How many have done that!?.Maggie

[grannyhotwheels]

I'm not sure what any of us would do without you.  The laughter you send my way is just what I need.  You know how it is, when your reading someone else's post and actually laugh out loud, I mean rib hurting laughter, then you my friend have done your job.

I bow down to you!!!

I'll be praying,

Oh Quix,

I was laughing so hard , I can't believe you would go to an operating room with a drill sticking in your head . That's too much ..   What a sight that must have been  

    thanks for the laugh.        Jo

[SOONERMOM]

I'm sure that is one surgery that the anesthesiologist won't forget!  Too bad the surgeon wasn't there too--  Do those guys ever crack a smile?

Did you always have this sense of humor?  I thought they beat it out of doctors during medical school?  LOL
Stacey

[Barbie51]

Me again.  I just decided I should look at the slightly bigger picture in your profile and saw that it was a salad tong and then I understood your Mood comment about not being trusted with a kitchen utensil.   DUH!!!  (Sometimes I'm a little slow.)  

My husband likes to say I'm not the sharpest crayon in the box but I am the prettiest!

you can click on the pic and see it larger.

[Barbie51]

OMG, you are tooo funny!  You know these are really tiny pics and I did wonder for a brief second what that squiggle was behind your head.  Now that I'm getting to know you better, I'm sure it would have eventually dawned on me you had something actually piercing your brain.  That would help explain your "pointed" sense of humor!!    har har !!!

I had another one, a huge 3/4 inch drill bit on a headband.  I wore it in pre-op the morning I had to have my toe operated on.  The anesthesiologist came in and didn't look at me, just checked to make sure we had marked the correct foot.  I complained of a headache.  He said not to worry (still not looking at me) and said he'd knock me out and take care of that headache.  I said, "Nooo, you don't understand!  It's a really BAD headache!"  Finally, he looked at me, saw the drill through my head and swallowed his gum.  The nurses just broke up.  It was great.  Q

[Quixotic1]

No, no. They aren't behind me.  They're on a wire headband, like the arrow that Steve Martin always had.   So it really does look like they have impaled me (LOL!  Yes!  Another MS mimic.  I LOVE IT!)

The picture is from a couple years ago when I was on a low-carb, online diet group.  It's original caption was:

"What do you get when you have vertigo and eat too many tossed salads?"

It's the only picture of me that doesn't make me want to puke.  I am very photo-phobic.

[grannyhotwheels]

Just curious, but why do you have salad tongs behind your head?

Carol

[SOONERMOM]

Hey, maybe you have really another mimic:
Kitchen Utensil Impalement
you better get that checked out pronto!

Stacey

[Jenn0030]

I am glad you explained what is behind you, I wondered what was back there.  Thanks for the laugh I needed that.

[Quixotic1]

Yeah, you never want to just up and comment on someone's defects.  I understand, it's okay.  Q

[biowham]

I'm in Carol's boat. I noticed them, but didn't know if you'd done it on purpose or not. I'm thinking not, but given your recognition of it, either way, great sense of humor.

[grannyhotwheels]

I did notice the salad tongs quite a while back but I didn't have the guts to ask you about it.  haahaaheehee

I'll be praying,  (for more courage)

[mokibear]
