Screen shot of a Dr. that isn’t Patrick Dempsey, but IS very cute and if my computer was working I would have purchased it for use.<\/p><\/div>\n

Maybe this was Dr. Gall as a little boy?<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Dr Hall and Dr Gall<\/span><\/strong>\/Rx<\/em><\/strong>-Rated<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Texting is hard,<\/div>\n
drawing, too…<\/div>\n
But they are my work.<\/div>\n
And numbness? It grew…<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
So I went walk in’<\/div>\n
Googley-goo<\/div>\n
My friend who painted<\/div>\n
his house had it, too.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I shopped around…<\/div>\n
and looked over creds.<\/div>\n
until I found<\/div>\n
Chicago-land threads.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
And what a surprise!<\/div>\n
Not just tendon strings…<\/div>\n
But soft, Rumpled linen,<\/div>\n
fine threads & NICE things…<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Was Efficient with me.<\/div>\n
\u2018Rambles\u2026,\u201d notes said.<\/div>\n
But he listened. Absorbed…<\/div>\n
[I’m surprised my mind fed\u2026.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
…anything sane,<\/div>\n
for all I could ponder…<\/div>\n
Was ‘if clothes made the man’,<\/div>\n
then This Man made Mind Wander\u2026.!]<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
He said \u2018You’re older<\/strong>!\u2019<\/div>\n
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0‘You are<\/em> going<\/strong> to hurt.\u2019<\/div>\n
But this didn’t phase me<\/div>\n
Eyes… High alert.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
In my mind (while I babbled)<\/div>\n
My numb fingers twitching…<\/div>\n
Oh, to fondle those curls<\/div>\n
Would be so bewitching…<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
But then, time was up.<\/div>\n
The X-rays were done.<\/div>\n
He prescribed some nerve testing<\/div>\n
said \u201cI quit long runs.<\/em>\u201d<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Later, saw notes<\/div>\n
\u201cthinks she\u2019s 20 years younger.”<\/div>\n
I wasn\u2019t fazed…<\/div>\n
more solution to hunger.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Notes said \u2018complains of’<\/div>\n
[no strokes from my Proctor<\/div>\n
for my yoga or running] just<\/em><\/div>\n
\u201cStay clear of the doctor<\/em>!\u201d<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
There was a follow up<\/div>\n
steamy August day.<\/div>\n
Now \u2018dirty white bucks\u2019 via<\/div>\n
Boston-LA.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Yes, here was The Real<\/div>\n
McDreamy Midwest.<\/div>\n
\u2019Til later I found…<\/div>\n
another,\u00a0\u00a0same Quest.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
To halt the angst of<\/div>\n
Head and of Neck…<\/div>\n
for when No Sleep,<\/div>\n
after work, I’m a wreck.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
So one year later,<\/div>\n
Dr Gall, coffee date-a<\/div>\n
With his wife, I did meet<\/div>\n
Knew her, \u2018sister\u2019 Theta.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
We were waiting in line<\/div>\n
in historic gas station<\/div>\n
for coffee and scones<\/div>\n
\u2026Was it my ‘magination?<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Saw Corny, met hub<\/div>\n
\u2019love ur wife\u2019, (@ Hat Place).<\/div>\n
‘Me 2\u2019 Doc said,<\/div>\n
‘when she sits on my face.’<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Anne just dismissed.<\/div>\n
(They are non-conformal)<\/div>\n
…In office and life…<\/div>\n
as if it were normal.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I imagined all kinds..<\/div>\n
Of performance in tandem…<\/div>\n
amongst \u2018hipaa\u2019 paper…<\/div>\n
X-rays all a’ random.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
So, oh Dr. Gall,<\/div>\n
talk dirty to your Wife.<\/div>\n
And Please, Dr Hall,<\/div>\n
give me lashings for life!<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
For yes, altho’ Doctors<\/div>\n
remind us we’re old…<\/div>\n
we still must touch base<\/div>\n
each decade of Gold…<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
….-den years-Life is short!<\/div>\n
Remind us we’re tingling<\/div>\n
in loins … I meant limbs<\/div>\n
…. ergonomics ring-ling\u2019lin…<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
So I will just say<\/div>\n
If you are texting away…<\/div>\n
and used your Hands<\/div>\n
& Knuckles to Play.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Go see my McSteamies<\/div>\n
The State Line Men.<\/div>\n
Heroes of Carpal<\/div>\n
Jus\u2019 Tunnel on in.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
And don’t bother rambling,<\/div>\n
just get to the point.<\/div>\n
‘Right or left quadrant<\/div>\n
Numbed by cervical joint.’<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
But then when he says<\/div>\n
what He<\/em>\u00a0 might do next…<\/div>\n
interrupt and say<\/div>\n
‘Just send me a text\u2019.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
For at times all it takes<\/div>\n
for pain to be free<\/div>\n
Is Harsh (un)Dressing Down<\/div>\n
‘Talk dirty 2 me!’<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
