I have NO idea where you heard it was cancer, though. That just made me go WTF?!?! I have no desire to make my personal health stuff a matter of public discussion beyond the fact that is has impacted our ability to deliver on our promises. So let's leave it at the following: the diagnosis wasn't good, but it's certainly not fatal, and there is a clear (but not fast) path to recovery, which I'm now on. So the health situation for me will still impact us for a bit longer while I complete my recovery, after which all should be good again. That's all I intend to say on the subject. |

It was a long, stupid story, and I got sick of explaining it and of brushing it off, so I decided to make life interesting. The next person who asked me, a cashier at a cafeteria I frequented, I said, "I bumped it against a large block of cheese." "Cheese?" with a look of incomprehension on his face. "Yeah. It was sharp cheddar." Then a smile followed by, "OK, what are you having today?" Next person was a building security guard at a building I often visited. "What happened to your arm?" "Huh? Oh, I bought a car." "A car?" "Yeah. They normally cost an arm and a leg, but I got one one sale." Another smile and a laugh. I don't recall the next person who asked, but I told him I was abducted by aliens. Guy just gave me a look. I continued with "I got stuck with a trainee. He didn't understand enough human biology to know where to put the probe. He took a guess and got it wrong. I'm not sure if I'm worse off or better off for it." He still just gave me this look. Two out three ain't bad, right? Anyway, if you're going to suffer through it, you may as well let out your inner role player and have fun with it. :-D |

9 years ago I was in a fatal car accident (I died a bunch of times) that left me a high functioning quadriplegic with a lower leg amputation. As it is, I get asked all the time what happened. I like to tell people that I fought a bear, since I live in Canada...seems legit

I have a chronic health condition that results in me having a very obvious difference on my forearm. When random nosy person asks "what is that?" or "what is wrong with you" they are likely to get all kinds of colorful lies.

(The real story is terribly boring, but the actual story after breaking her ankle to get her down the mountain is fun enough, involving as it does four very experienced hikers, a set of park rangers, a troop of boy scouts working toward eagle scout status, an off duty EMT leading said troop, and Kit the Llama Lady.) |
