AN Book ...

When I came around and saw the little gnome/nun I kinda thought the same thing except my
surgeon and anesthesiologist were with me too and didn't figure we had all croaked

Soundy -

this is right up there with Scottie's chaplain story.

It's strange how you had the presence of mind to logically realize that since the two docs were there with you, your "number wasn't up" yet

yep ... the walls were still standing , to so didn't figure a bomb ,earthquake or fire had swept
through and got us all... though in lightening fast speed , that still amazes me since my brain now
operates is snail mode most of the time , these things crossed my mind ,  before deciding we weren't
dead that there really a gnome at the foot of my bed 

the gnome/nun thing was kinda scary as it happened ... but later funny ... I went back post op and
met her as a nun... she still looked a bit gnome-ish , even without lots of good drugs and an
hour or so out of surgery.. Sister Mary Margaret I think was her name...the whole story is here
somewhere

A chapter of this odd interpretations our brains made of things might be funny reading

On second thought I think her name is Mary Grace... Mary Margaret was one of the little girls
I had at Day Camp a couple weeks ago

I went to a catholic women's college, so in my experience there are a million variations of  Mary "something".  Mary Claire, Mary Grace, Mary Therese, Mary Jo, Mary Beth, Mary Alice, Mary Catherine, Mary Margaret, Mary Eileen, Mary Anne, etc., etc., etc.,   The list goes on and on 

I was one of the few that wasn't named Mary; but it's my middle name, so I fit right in

Well, what can we do with 3 people?   

[leapyrtwins]

Give it some time.  Not everyone is a forum addict like Debbi & me 

[lori67]

Well, you can count me in for number 4, but I'd have to figure out what to write about...

And Jan, in regards to your nun story - at my college we had Sister Mary Bookstore (she worked in the bookstore, of course), Sister Mary Calculus, Sister Mary Registrar, Sister Mary Library.. who knows what their real names were, but at least we all knew where they worked!  My high school had Sister A/V (in charge of the audio/visual room)  I wonder if her name was Mary?

Lori -

we had Sister Mary Paperplate - she was an older nun who wore the old-time habit with the headpiece that resembled a white paper plate - hence her name 

Hey, do you like that word "hence" ?  I'm trying to expand my vocabulary

I have no clue how to get that quote thing to work, but I will contribute my story...
