Left without Right

One more sleep till the operation day, and I’m coping, but only just!
It hasn’t helped this week that I’ve had an increasingly twitchy back, which means that if I’m not careful I can suddenly put it out, like I did this morning. Something I really don’t need on top of the operation. I’ve got to lie flat on my back for the day after the op, so that's going to be interesting! At the moment the back's improved, so here’s hoping!
Everyone seems to have a horror story about this operation, or operations in general. And those that don’t tell me all the funny things that could happen, or treat it all with great amusement – something I’ve no doubt done to others in the past. Justice obviously prevails.
I came across an article just now, quite by accident, which told of a Dunedin doctor who’d diagnosed twenty blokes with nodular prostates in a week, and only later discovered that it was a nodule on his finger that was causing the trouble. Crikey.
Seemingly the good doctor had injured his right index finger at a charity cricket match and, because he was almost totally non-ambidextrous, couldn't satisfactorily use his left index finger. He tried, however, and failed to realise he had what he calls a dermatofibroma on his left index finger. Plainly the good doctor - whose name I won't mention here - has a slight memory problem as well failing in the ambidextrous department.
Perhaps he needed a memory stick! LOL

BTW, I'm wondering if that story about the doctor in Dunedin isn't a bit of a hoax. There isn't any doctor listed by the name that appears in the article. But it isn't dated April 1st....!
