That is the first name of the surgeon who was able to perform a successful laparascopic appendectomy so I really shouldn’t be making cracks about her name. But I just can’t help myself. Hey, she doesn’t even use her first name, opting to use her middle name instead.
One thing Theresa thought was particularly funny on the discharge papers was the fact that she was not allowed to drive, do any heavy lifting, or return to work/school for a week but she was allowed, however, to have sex. “Mom, who on earth would even want to have sex after surgery on their stomach??”
On the day she had surgery, last Thursday, she also had a test in a summer class she’s taking. Since we did not know at the time that this was appendicitis, she went to class and then came back home in so much pain she could barely walk.
“I have no idea how I did on the test & I just don’t care. I was in so much pain I could barely think.”
It turns out she got 100 on the test.
Then she was concerned because this is her last week of the summer class and she has a final on Thursday. Theresa got in touch with her professor who told her not to worry about getting to the remaining classes, she is exempt from the final and she’s got an A+ in the course.
Okay, so how did I give birth to a daughter who goes to math class nearly doubled over in pain and pulls a 100? Seriously. I can’t even add without counting on my fingers. I think someone switched babies.

I never tried the old “got appendicitis” theory but maybe I should have. I was bad, really bad, in math. I’m glad she is doing better and doesn’t want to have sex..;p Take care…jj

I hate math. Maybe a bad appendix gives off something that helps with math skills.
I gave birth to a child with amazing math skills too….maybe they got their own and our math genes.

I wish I had attended her school. For my master’s, I lost a letter grade for each absence…even though I was in the hospital!
Math? Army does numbers in our family and I do words. Neither can do the other.
Well, sort of. I can figure out the sale price of an item mighty quickly.
