Pass the Prune Juice, Please

“Good God, what is Katie shouting from the bathroom?”

Doctor Feelgood says I don’t have anemia. He says my condition is probably not caused by a vegetarian diet. Don’t you love the word probably? So reassuring. Despite all that, iron supplements have been prescribed. We’re upping my usual 36mgs a day to a damn-near toxic level of 231mgs.

I could suck the lead out of a cast iron pipe (yes, I really could), gnaw on some juicy steaks, wash it down with a pint of Guinness and still not reach these numbers of mineral madness.

(Doesn’t that sound like a fun date?)

Plus there’s no guarantee my overdosing helps raise a single platelet from the dead. We’re just doing this for fun. For kicks.

“Besides,” Doc says, “it can’t hurt.”




…famous last words.

Hey Kate,

Mr. H here. Just wanted to say that although we don't agree on many things, I really like your writing style. Somehow, I always leave your blog with a smile.

Hope your conditon gets better.

Mr. H

Mr H: Another theory down the drain. (The one about conservatives having no heart.)

*sigh*

I have a theory but I want you to verify.

When you thought about posting this picture to accompany your comments, did you do think-

a) That's a great idea, let me go clean the toilet real quick

b) That's a great idea, and since I keep my toilets spotless I can do it right away

c) This is a picture of someone else's toilet.

My legs are going numb awaiting your response.

The correct answer is "B" - but first I had to borrow a brick from my dad who gave it to me only after I promised that I wouldn't use it to bash Bush or men in general. Now my mother isn't speaking to him for the part he played in this post.

What I go through for all two of my readers (who found it funny instead of crass).

Ok, I've had a couple of days to marinate over that picture...

I'm not comfortable with it at all.

The only thing you're comfortable with is grape juice because it makes you feel elastic, and the poster of me that you can hold up with one hand.
