William Turner: February 2008 Archives
I've been having some trouble keeping my blood pressure under control. The docs are trying me on a couple new meds and I'm scheduled to see a specialist here soon. Just pray that I don't have a stroke or MI in the meantime. Thanks.
Heather and I spent the weekend in Perry, GA visiting her grandmother. Though she suffers from many illnesses she still amazes me with her stamina and determination. It was a good visit and I hope we still have many left in her.
On a side note, we counted 24 police cars between Perry (just south of Macon) and the state line at Chattanooga, TN. Needless to say, I kept the speed down.
Just because someone doesn't love you the way you want them to, doesn't mean they don't love you with all they have.
Ralph and Edna were both patients in a mental hospital. One day while they were walking past the hospital swimming pool. Ralph suddenly jumped into the deep end. He sank to the bottom of the pool and stayed there.
Edna promptly jumped in to save him. She swam to the bottom and pulled him out. When the Head Nurse Director became aware of Edna's heroic act she immediately ordered her to be discharged from the hospital, as she now considered her to be mentally stable.
When she went to tell Edna the news she said, "Edna, I have good news and bad news. The good news is you're being discharged, since you were able to rationally respond to a crisis by jumping in and saving the life of the person you love. I have concluded that your act displays sound mindedness. The bad news is, Ralph hung himself in the bathroom with his bathrobe belt right after you saved him. I am so sorry, but he's dead.
"Edna replied, "He didn't hang himself, I put him there to dry. How soon can I go home?"
