Daredevil

Every day when I pick up Wm from a school, a gaggle of 5-6 little girls follow him out.  Wm then jumps off high things, climbs tress, and does other odd things while they clap, oooh and ahhh, and call him "Daredevil."  Wm, of course, eats this up and swaggers around the playground showing off.  They are his groupies and have now started collecting things he touches.  The best part of this entire thing is that every single one of the girls is at least a head taller than Wm. And, of course, there is the fact that "Daredevil" is afraid of:

- water

- thunderstorms

- the dark

- being a on a different level of the house from Steve and I

- heights (unless he is jumping from them)

- the possibility of a house fire

- kidnappers

- and pretty much everything else in existence

My surgery has been scheduled!  I go in on Oct 11 to have the gremlin removed.  My doctor is confident she can do it laparoscopically, so I should only have a 2 week recovery time and no overnight in the hospital, which is good!! However, my doctor is being a real pill about taking out all my lady parts and insists on leaving my other healthy ovary and uterus where they are since they are in good shape.  I was briefly happy with the fact I thought I would only have periods half as often with one ovary, but then I googled it and discovered the one dumb ovary just takes over for 2 and I won't notice any physiological changes with having only one ovary. I told her I'm not using them and they are just a nuisance, but she claims I'll be sorry not to have the hormones and she won't pull out healthy organs.  What am I paying her for?!?
