Now the humour from the weekend.

Staying in a huge hotel brings you in contact with some people from 'elsewhere'. The wife went to the parking garage to get my hat and cane. (The drugs make me a tad unstable at times, so the cane is a 3rd point to keep me up!). It was a bit cool, and windy. We decided to take a walk.

I'm sitting on a nice couch, the big flowers in front of us, the valets and doormen a few feet away. A woman about 45 or so with lots of makeup and fancy clothes sits beside me, well other end of the couch. I spot Marbourhoughs (American smokes sp?) sticking out of her purse. She turns to me and says "Want go out for fresh air and a cigarette?" I smile and say, "I gave up the cigarette and I'm just waiting for my Nurse to come back with my hat and cane." She says, "Nurse". I pull out a piece of paper, actually it is the list of emergency contact numbers and the other numbers at the cancer clinic, the chemo nurse the radiation nurse, the surgical nurse, the primary care nurse, the after hours nurse etc. "Yup I say, I have a bit of a problem with cancer, but the health plan give me a bunch of nurses, and this one will go away with me if I take a vacation."....

"Must be expensive"...she says.
"No, this is Canada, it's part of the coverage."

"The wife shows up in her best dress, heels, nice short red coat, looks about 35... and says "here's your cane and hat honey you up for a walk."

I turn to the woman who was trying to pick me up and say.."I thought about ditching her and going with you for a walk, but now I think I'd better take the nurse...she knows what to do in case..." and get up and leave.

I swear I can't help myself LOL.
