The Injection

Laughter is a gift from God. It helps to change one’s perspective in all sorts of unique situations. I was at the urology facility that administers my injection of Testosterone every three weeks. (The shot helps with physical stamina, and increases romantic desires towards Bobbi.)

In the waiting room, Nurse “Rachel” calls “Robert.” I picked up my cinch sack and the clip board of paper work I was given at registration. I walked into the door Rachel was holding open with her left arm.

We walked down a hall I had never been down. We stopped at a doorway. I looked at Rachel, and meekly stated “I’m here for a Testosterone shot.” Rachel looked at the clipboard I’d given her. She looked at it, smiled, and stated, “You’re the wrong Robert.”

Back out to the waiting room. The correct Robert was called in by his last name with Mr. preceding it. I was soon called in soon after the other Robert left; Nurse “Hope” called me in down the right hallway into a room I was familiar with for a shot in my butt that had become a common part of the tapestry of my life.

The chances of someone in the waiting room of a medical facility having the same first name as me are slim. It’s always best if you can take a step back at times, and just laugh at the absurdity that is you. (Relax a bit. Life is not always serious.) You can find humorous moments if you are on the lookout for them. Your attitude is within your control.
