Ok, they are keeping him. Sent him to ultra sound. Get this! The home health nurse that came yesterday to put the new Foley in, didn't do it right! She didn't even get it into the bladder. She filled the balloon up...in the urethra! Ouch! Not too happy a camper right now. My son on the other hand sure sounds a lot happier. Had a nurse put one in the right way, he said, this time it didn't hurt. He has feeling inside of his mid waist inside area. Not so much on the outside. Strange how the nerves work around the body. Anyway, they are keeping him tonight to make sure he stops bleeding. Hoping the Urologist comes in, and says..let's work on these two things now. Richard is ready to get this done. I see appts. coming up, instead of them keeping him there and just doing this. The stone has gotten quite large.

SCG..yes, great joke. Will have to tell Richard that one.

The ones I told were told to me by a very gifted musician, when he was 5. He would tell jokes in between playing his fiddle. He's I think, 6 or 7 now. Carson Peters. Such a sweety. Maddy loved seeing him play. Lord, that child loves bluegrass, lol. Even though her Mamaw is a rattlehead.

This is Carson the first time he played at the Cranberry Thistle, which is where I worked for nearly ten years with Maddy's fairy Godmothers, who owned the Thistle. Sadly the Thistle closed down two years ago after the death of Mad's Godfather. I so miss that place. It was the only place besides home where I felt happy and safe. Even when it was jam packed. I can stil make a killer latte.

The Thistle was in Jonesborough, the Storytelling capital of the world. We would have members of our local storytelling guild tell there every wednesday night...and during the International Storytelling festival all the storytellers would come to the Thistle after hours for coffee and soupbeans and cornbread. Or a slice of Joseph's coconut cake. Bluegrass was played there every weekend. (Or whenever someone showed up with an instrument.) We also had bluegrass "jam" sessions just happen right out of the blue. Park Overall was there more than once. She is hilarious. One time Pauley Parette(sp) from NCIS came in for a smoothie (not a Caf-Pow) and we all took a photo together with her and she signed it. Jo and Nancy still have that photo. Folks fro the Carter fold had been in...this place was magical. It really was. We would find any excuse to dress up in costume, and had many annual events just for that purpose...mysyery dinners with plots set in the 20's, a Hillbilly Luau, Hank Williams tribute concert complete with a Hank look-alike contest. Rob McNurlin always played that. Maddy would dance all night if we let her.

When my son was young -there was some offer to get a tape of one of the winners at the Story telling festival(?) It was one from Dave Davis (I think maybe) can't remember but, the story has stayed with me for ages it was called ":C-R-A-Z-Y," it was the funniest and saddest story I've ever heard. Wish I could find it and listen again.
