Funny story.......at least to me

This morning my husband took the kids to school and then came home to work on his outbuilding he is building. I said to myself, " come on self, get up and bath and let's work.". Right now I have ascites so my belly is big. I was just lying in my tub looking at my big ol' belly reminiscing of being pregnant. I had twins, so at least I'm not that big!
Anyway, I looked at my incision and there was a big, new growth. I flat out went berserk. I know colorectal cancer very rarely goes to the skin but it only takes a few trips around all the boards to read about at least one person who has something most docs wave away. I said, " I've got to get to the hospital! I'm going to be dead in 30 days! Ben (my husband), come here!!". No response because he is outside......so I open the window and screech, "Ben, come here. I'm having an emergency!". He's on the phone for work, hangs up, and comes running in. By this time, I look down and the growth is gone and I realize it was a piece of raisin bran from my breakfast................
I cried and then laughed and he laughed and hugged me and we both went back to work.

Just can imagine how freaked you would have been, but bet it wasn't funny then. Glad it was only a bran flake
