I gave a jar of Dyslexic Bittersweet Chocolate sauce to Larry's eye surgeon and he busted me on the

name.

In his very polite "thank you" note back to me, he explained that I'm describing "ACQUIRED ALEXIC" symptoms, not "DYSLEXIC" reading problems in my weird little story.

Has ANYONE else ever taken that story that seriously?

I hesitate to imagine what he would think of my mind if he read Hercules Pirouette "you must read this with a french accent" cookies? Or Black Garter Belt pie? Sodom & Gomorrah Chicken casserole? Marquis de Sade ravioli? Menage a Trois chocolate cherry bread?

He also wrote that he thought "not reading directions" was a "guy thing."

 
This guy is waaaaaay too serious...did you explain that "acquired alexis sauce"

Just doesn't have the same ring?

 
How is Larry? I will play devils advocate and suggest that he was thrilled to receive a nice

thoughtful gift. His lack of sense of humor is probably what makes him a great surgeon. Take it as a compliment that he went through the trouble of sending you a thank you note. He clearly does not "get it".... But, I think he was "trying to" if that makes sense.

Once again, Mar, your heart is so big and thoughtful to give him a special gift.

 
Still recovering, thanks. Eye pressure still hasn't stabilized Skip the rest if needles bother you

His pressure was 48, way too high. Perfect is 10. Below 3 is bad.
Day after surgery it was 10.
Next day it was 7
The day after that it was 6
Last week it was 12
Yesterday it was 17.

To enlarge the bleb (opening) doc had to pop one of the stitches in his eye. He numbed the eye area first with a swab and then injected his eye with a 2" long needle filled with numbing agents.

(ya. I just cringed again myself.)

Then he popped the stitch and will check it again tomorrow.

 
It sounds to me like he really got into your story and enjoyed it. I think you should send him ALL

the others.

 
I thought "Acquired Alexis Syndrome" was when you start to inexplicably look like Joan Collins...

and say things like, "Now, look, you pass the word on to your little wife, Steven. If I ever hear of another time when she has breathed a word about Fallon's paternity, I will personally attach tiny hand grenades to each of the wheels on her roller skates, watch her do one of her ever-loving pirouettes, and applaud as she explodes into a thousand smithereens."

(I had to Google it, yes.)
