LOL, you should be proud of your perfect pancreas! No diabetes for you!

And Aubrey’s comment made me laugh also. When I was in labor with my first child, every last doctor and nurse who checked me said, ‘Oh, you have such a nice roomy pelvis!” I wasn’t sure how to respond.

Hope all is well with you, Gretchen!

Did they give you a little black and white picture of it like when you are pregnant? Cyndi's last blog post..Isaac is weaned

This post has me grinning. There should be a sticker or something that you could wear: "I have a perfect pancreas." Since no one can see it and congratulate you. Heth's last blog post..Iris

Maybe you could pen a little ode to that perfect pancreas?

I’ll get you started . . .

O, pancreas,
I behold you in all your glory.
How is it you were revealed to me?
Let me tell you the story.

Hope all is well, Gretchen. Let us know (if you want to).

And is your husband okay with the tech praising your pancreas so warmly?

Hope the test brings back good results.

I'm so impressed. I had a (non-pregnancy) uterine ultrasound recently and I figured the tech would shout, "MY WORD, what have you DONE to that thing??" Rocks In My Dryer's last blog post..Three Things I Learned Today

During an actual PELVIC exam for my yearly physical, the nurse-midwife who was examining me (who always was rather chatty) complemented me by saying, "You have a great pelvis. You could fit a 9 or 10lb baby through here." Um....thanks? I wasn't really sure how to respond to that, but I guess one day that might come in handy. aubrey's last blog post..Local Garden Overflows Bed; Neighbors Wonder What Owners Were Thinking.

As a poor college student, I used to make a few extra bucks donating plasma.

Maybe 6 months or so after my last donation, I was eating lunch at a restaurant when the waitress looked at me and said, “I remember YOU! You used to come into the clinic where I worked! You had the best plasma we’d ever seen!”

My husband was there – he’s my witness.

It was the strangest lunch conversation!! But, like you, I felt a little proud, too.
