YA GOT MILK?..........

Have I got a funny story to tell. I have found out just what a big baby I am. Rudy and I were at Sam's yesterday. I saw this lady passing out little cups of stuff to people. Since she had her arm in a sling she caught my eye. I went a little closer and lo and behold she had an external fixator on her arm...pins and all. When she had a break in her work, I said, "so, how did you do it? She saw my brace and smiled. I told her I just got my pins out a few weeks ago. So, here's her story.

"Well, Honey," she said. "My husband was in the hospital so I had to empty the
garbage myself. I fell over a trash can that had gotten blown into my yard. I knew I broke my wrist so I got into my car and drove myself to the doctor. However, I needed to stop at Walmart, so, while I was there I just bought a little brace to put on my arm. When the dr saw my arm he said, "how in the world did you get that brace on your arm. I told him I just gritted my teeth and put it on. The dr just shook his head. He said I would have to see an Orthopedic dr, but I couldn't in right away when they called to make me an appointment. So, I drove all over the place, then decided to go home until someone could set my arm. Since I couldn't get in to the dr I wanted, I decided I might as well go to work. So, I never missed one day with this broken arm. It was three days before they set it. I did have six pins, but they took two out, so now I only have four. The dr said he'd take the pins out in the office without putting me to sleep. So, Honey, what's your story?" I just looked at her. Finally, I said..."how old are you?" She said, "Oh, I'm 74. I said..."74, huh." Well, she just chuckled when I told her that the ladies of my church brought me food for 10 days, my daughter came and stayed with me for a week, my husband cleaned my arm for me twice every day, and my daughter fixed my hair for me every week and drove me all over the place, and my family babied me, and I wondered if anyone could die from a broked wrist, and my dr ABSOLUTELY did not take my pins out without putting me to sleep, thank you!! She chuckled again and said, "Honey, I'm just an old farm girl. I got up and milked those cows all my life."

Is that not the funniest story? Milking cows...who ever would have thought.
