Oh look, Chicken Thursday!

I'm happy to report that many parts of the right side of my body are starting to feel better after my epic wipeout last Friday! However, my right arm continues to hang around and cause shooting pain if I move it the wrong way.

I did see the doctor yesterday and he sent me off for x-rays — and I use the plural because by the time all the parts of my arm got x-rayed, it was somewhere between 7 and 9 different angles they wanted to look at! As I write this — and by "write" I mean "dictate to the microphone on my computer," because while I can use the mouse pretty well, I can only type with my left hand, so speaking is a lot easier — I'm still waiting to hear back the results.

A big shout out to Grandma Cybersalt, who has not only been taking great care of me, but also made such a sling for my right arm that the doctor specifically commented on it and told me to make sure to tell her she had done an awesome job!

Enjoy the rest of today's Digest.

Concerned about fitness in my mid-40s, I enrolled in an aerobics class. To my dismay I walked into a room filled with much younger women and decided to combat my nervousness with humor.

"I'm here to do my postnatal exercises," I told the instructor.

She gave me an appraising look. "How old is your baby?"

"Twenty-two," I replied.

Survival Tip: If zombies attack, go to Costco - there are cement walls, years worth of food, and tons of supplies. Plus, zombies can't get in without a membership.

The waitress comes over and recognizes the family seated at the table -- Mr. and Mrs. Smith and their little son, Jonathan. She says, "Jonathan, what would you like?"

He says, "I'll have a grilled cheese sandwich."

She says, "Jonathan, I'm sorry, we don't serve grilled cheese sandwiches."

He says, "You have a grill, don't you?"

She says, "Yes."

He says, "You have cheese, don't you?"

She says, "Yes."

He says, "You have bread, don't you?"

She says, "Yes."

He says, "Well, I'll have a grilled cheese sandwich."

This kid is four years old!

The waitress says, "Jonathan, I'll go see if the chef will fix you a grilled cheese sandwich."

She comes back in a little while and says, "Okay, Jonathan, the chef agreed to fix you a grilled cheese sandwich. I forgot to ask you, though, what you want to drink."

He says, "I'll have a milkshake."

She says, "Jonathan, your parents have probably already told you we don't serve milkshakes." (She was ready for him this time.) "Now, it is true we have milk. And it is true we have ice cream. But we don't have the syrup."

He says, "You have a car, don't you?"

Susan Page writes . . . . 

Redeeming love, how can it be
That Christ would die upon a tree
Redeeming love that He would give
His life for us that we might live

He is the way, the truth, the life
He freely gave a sacrifice
No rights He held, no pain too great
To lead His own through Heaven’s gate
