Shirleen is Bluetooth® Enabled & I'm Being Titular

| | Comments (2)

The last first. Frenchy McFrench has spoken. I made the du a de, made plans to, as the FRENCH do, eschew capitalization in my blog title, and then I find that my syntax is altogether wrong.

But, from mes experts français well - rather mon cher expert français I have the final word(s). So, as you can see, I have AT LAST (I hope) correctly molded my title to make the French happy (I say as though "The French" are a key demographic who give a damn about my writing). We'll just see what Google makes of this.

Now on to SCIENCE! I explained that Shirleen had been implanted with a spinal stimulating device so that we can direct her every move by remote control so that she can control her pain with a remote control. Unfortunately, this is one of those procedures that results in horrific pain in order to eventually control chronic, wretched, debilitating pain. They cannot actually switch on the device until her surgical recovery is complete. In the meantime, she is, "Lumpy, stripy and bruised." (And SHE, being a sophisticate, pronounced BOTH syllables of "bruised" when she gave me the report over the phone. Well done.)

At least while she was in the hospital she was entertained and tutored in life by her "EIGHTY-EIGHT-YEAR-OLD" roommate (who either sang that information or related it in an extremely adamant manner - I'm not sure which). She did sing songs, regaled Shirleen with sage advice and stories, and made her laugh (which was painful, unfortunately).

The most amazing tidbit was, I think, this life-changing advice about relationships:

If you really love a man you give him an enema.

I, for one, am stupefied. Shirleen and I both concluded that the fact we never knew about this dictum, and therefore had never followed it as a guideline, explained a great deal about our lives in general. If only we had known. HOW COULD WE HAVE KNOWN?

We'll just have to move forward now, armed with this crucial knowledge. I'm just wondering how one infuses the willingness to administer this essential (I guess?) medical procedure - as a sign of affection - into a computer dating bio. And people wonder why I don't leave the house that much. Don't you see? I have very grave matters to ponder.

Wouldn't this be a cool tattoo?Oooooh - back to the science. Once the nice doctors do turn Shirleen on (DON'T GO THERE, YOU KNOW VERY WELL WHAT I MEAN) she gets to control her device with a wireless Bluetooth® remote. Oh yes, she has Bluetooth® connectivity. That certainly gives new meaning to the slogan, "Experience hands-free in so many ways."

I'm already trying to decide what I might do with my Bluetooth® headset (find out what one's crazy spine sound like?). And I have a Bluetooth® mouse. I LOVE the idea that I could somehow incite funky chicken dances or the the like with that implement. My dad's PDA has Bluetooth® connectivity. Perhaps we could upload data directly into her spinal column. The possibilities are ENDLESS!

Your suggestions would be appreciated.

I have a Bluetooth headset that came with my cell phone and I have not used it yet. I suppose I'd be breaking the terms of my contract with HELL MOBILITY if I were to send you the Bluetooth. (Also, it prolly wouldn't work without the cell phone.) Something about wearing a Bluetooth in public... well, it works for busy sharp-suited businesspeople types, but I think it would ook slightly foolish when you're wearing jeans and flip-flops at, say, Costco.

WHY I ever thought it would be cool to have a Bluetooth, I don't know.

Meanwhile, I'm not saying a word about enemas.

I must admit, I love my bluetooth headset. It's lovely on the road, and if I'm expecting a call and don't want to have to go grabbing about in my luggage for my phone. I know - even though this is a ubiquitous item, one still looks like they are talking to themselves. This is actually good for me (as I sometimes do that anyway). And it's funny that you said Costco, because I have been guilty of wearing the thing there NOT dressed as a sharp-suited business person.

Tacky? Perhaps, but WHAT FUN!

    Colon Testing Saves Lives: What You Need to Know About Colon Testing

    Colon cancer starts with a growth that is not yet cancer. Testing can help your doctor find (and remove) these growths before they become cancerous. If the test finds that colon cancer has already developed, you have a much better chance of beating it if it is found early.

    Please visit the ACS for more information.

    Remember, in this case, what you don't know CAN kill you.

  • In love and hope for Grandma Lee.
