TRUE LIFE STORY
When I woke up I was moved into a waiting room where the doctor met me and my husband. He said that they found a lump in my esophagus, but that he wasn't worried. He needed to run a few tests and do another scope. He was in and out of the room in under three minutes. I looked at my husband and we both got up and walked to the car. I wasn't sure what to think.

So, we went home and sat on the couch. I sat quietly for a few minutes, and then logically decided that I needed to cut the lawn.
