Meinuk, did you remember to cover your  :sir ken; with another hospital gown while doing laps?  :rofl;

Hope you get out soon so you can enjoy something you couldn't while on dialysis.

They're keeping her in the recovery room for another night - she told me what they're looking at but I didn't catch the details (I was in a store) she doesn't seemed worried so I wont worry either. She did say her creatinine is 1.5 - I requested a picture - evidence - of her new urination abilities.

First thought  :o then   :rofl; and finally you never see a woman saying that to a guy. If there is a picture, it's usually a guy taking a picture of his drunken buddy or friend doing that in the snow trying to write his name. Just in time for a redneck joke waiting to happen. :rofl;
