Jack-Black-itus or diagnosis: too much Jack Black

Things are continuing to go really well back here in Wisconsin. We're getting very well settled and things are starting to fall into place. It's feeling better everyday. We had a bomb of a yard sale today, which you can read about on Mike's blog :) We're going to try again next weekend. There should be more traffic with the holiday weekend.

The other excitement we've had within the past couple of days was visiting the small town ER. Maria was having a pain in her left side, especially when breathing... we were concerned that it could have been her appendix or pneumonia, so we just took her right in. Of course it took over an hour to be seen... They ran a bunch of tests that took forever... her lungs sounded fine, her urine test came back with no infections, she was getting plenty of oxygen and her x-rays came back clear. The verdict was that she had pulled a muscle in her side.

She said she couldn't think of anything she did to have pulled a muscle. The only thing we could think of was that we'd all watched the Jack Black movie "Be Kind Rewind" the night before and were all laughing our butts off!! Maria actually watched it twice. So we figure she pulled a muscle laughing. We told her she was having a little case of Jack-Black-itus.

I think it was actually Jack-Black-adosis. :)

Glad she was ok, sometimes with these weird unexplaned pains you never know what caused them.

Laughing is usually considered to be good medicine for the soul, perhaps in her case; she had an overdose. lol

Take Care
