Today Elizabeth tripped at work and landed hard on her knee. She went to the doctor and got an X-ray. They said nothing was broken, but she was getting a very large bump and bruise on her knee, so they gave her a prescription for a heavy dose of Ibuprofen and told her to go home and rest the leg.
The crazy thing is that the dose of Ibuprofen they wrote for her today was 800mg/pill. After her Caesarean section where Dorothy was born, they gave Elizabeth a 600mg/pill Ibuprofen prescription.
Yes, that's right. Falling and hitting your knee qualifies for more pain medication than major abdominal surgery. Makes you wonder if all these women have been exaggerating the whole birth pain thing, huh?
KIDDING!! I'm kidding! Please don't hurt me!

As their Best Man, and associate-stand-in- wife/mother-to-be at out of state baby showers, I would like to invite all of you to contribute to the "Tom Nugent, Jr. Medical Fund", which will be desperately needed after Elizabeth reads this post, and goes medeival on him. No contibution is too small, and 75% of it will go for Tom's anticipated reconstructive surgery and physical therapy....the other 25% will go toward counseling him not to write such things that would anger his wonderful wife.
