The doctor repeatedly told me how well I was doing. She seemed sincerely impressed.

All I did was lie there.  If they'd given me a pillow, I'd have fallen asleep. 

How come in real life I don't get compliments for lying down?   Wouldn't life be fabulous if I could lie down at work for an hour and have my boss come in and tell me what a good job I'm doing?   I am a champion lyer-downer: I'd get raise after raise, and promotion after promotion.   Pretty soon, I could go on the professional resting circuit and get famous.  I could share my talent by lying on fabulous designer couches while entertaining George Clooney and Brad Pitt.

Oh well.

  1. You make it sound so appetizing! and I am sure it was a wonderful time. I hate those tests. Now that you are in pain, just sit around and wait for the results. Thank you very much. Ouch!
