I should also mention that Gage had a splinter in his finger and would not let me remove it. Well, that’s not exactly true. He wouldn’t let me remove it with my hearing in tact or without sitting on him, while someone else held his feet. He talked about it a couple of nights ago and I tried to squeeze it out to no avail.

I wasn’t surprised when Gage came up with the idea to have his liver doc remove the sliver while he was under anesthesia today. She said no problem. I’m told that everyone in the operating room had an opinion about removing it! Because everyone is a sliver expert Dr. V said!

I’m sure when she and/or her parents were spending their hard earned money on higher education in medical school that she always wished that a 7 year old patient would rank liver expertise with splinter removal. Yeah.

That Gage is always thinking about the different angle. Man he can work it. That can be good or bad. Trust me.
