I suppose we could have come up with one of those black pen thingies the Men in Black had and might have erased all memory of the goat-shaped scan. On the upside, the Goatmother is eating blueberries by the handful. This could result in a further bluing. She is short and could be mistaken for a Smurf.Marigoldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10109785080000770963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9024991967988557735.post-47774556058066653622012-05-13T17:37:14.851-07:002012-05-13T17:37:14.851-07:00We are very glad that the scan did not include the...We are very glad that the scan did not include the brain, because we fear that it might have taken on somewhat of a goat-shaped appearance over the years, which would have caused great consternation among the medical elite, and would have raised the goatmother to "curiosity" status, which would have further entailed the parading of her goat-shaped brain scan before all and sundry, and possibly incurred lengthy monologues by surgeons regarding the propensity of the brain to adapt to its surroundings.

In Fireball Goatfather's defense, it is quite a load to bear. He does his best to bear up under the strain. I think, however, it is a good thing when the Goatmother filled out the consent form so the Goatfather could access her insurance information, he had her mark the 'psychological' part.Marigoldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10109785080000770963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9024991967988557735.post-32681654546565092392012-05-13T09:40:02.467-07:002012-05-13T09:40:02.467-07:00I am concerned the goatmother did not have an MRI ...I am concerned the goatmother did not have an MRI on her brain. I mean, really, while she was down the rabbit hole, why not? If it had been performed, I suppose the doctors and radiologists would have stood around speechless, staring at each other with their eyes burning. I, too, am scared of what's in there.<br /><br />I think the brain issue can be summed up when the blue nipple was presented for public consumption and discussed. And, let's not forget, the St. Tropez and Windex comment...that is just WAY too much info. <br /><br />The worst part of this is knowing the goatmother IS NOT ON DRUGS.<br /><br />Moments like these need to be documented for evidence.

Even if one was to make you 'perky'. :) NONE of it is easy and yes, the waiting is the worst! Even waiting to check in at the hospital one is like 'let's get this show on the road!' Ha! Thank you for your wishes. We KNOW you understand and we are so very glad to have you along. By the way, the Goatmother got a peek at part of the incision this morning. She thinks we shall have to start calling her FrankenGoatmother. :) Frankenboob? I dunno'.

Plus we aren't quite done with the journey yet and may be in need of your expertise. Of course, Chupacabras are VERY important to get rid of too.
