All good by the numbers

Last night I stood in my kitchen cutting a relaxed yet caviller silhouette. With one foot jauntily hoisted across the other I leant against the kitchen bench, a warm mug in one hand and my daughter’s fresh hospital discharge papers in the other.*


As I curiously cruised the columns of numbers and letters, my wife crossed the room and said “everything alright in there?”
I produced my best attempt at an irreverent smile and said “well it’s great to see the Carboxyhaemoglobin at 0.7%”.
Fuelled by a sharp wit, and 36 recent hours in the children’s ward, she replied “yeah it’s a long way from your Exercise Physiology degree to an MD hey Mike?”


That it is, that it is indeed. Still, it’s great to see everything all-clear in the numbers.




*everything is ok by the way.
