Would anyone think I was complaining (either about my condition or this blog) if I were to suggest that "ouch" should be ALL CAPS with several exclamation points and dozens of stars?

* * * * * * * * *
* * OUUUUUCH!!! * *

Thanks. Saying that made me feel better.

I realize my *ouch* is greatly understated and not a true reflection of the intense, expletive-inducing discomfort your clavicle and ribs are most likely feeling these days.

Am glad, however, that you stopped by and released an *ouch* that is more appropriate. (wink) Feel free to come by here and deposit your *ouches* at any time.

:-)

I'm with Jim on this one, ouch just doesn't cut it :)

Good luck with the surgery and recovery.
