Agnes by Tony Cochran for August 11, 2023

your mom, Trout, should’ve been into medical school.

So that’s why I had so much trouble with beer. I was kidnapped and had my tonsils and adenoids out at an early age.

Penicillin—or amoxicillin/clavulanate—will save the day.

well, her feet and her hair are still firmly attached, so she’s ahead of the game for now.

Tonsils are there for a reason, to filter germs before they enter the lungs and the rest of the body. I still have mine (age 74) and so do both my kids. We very seldom catch colds or even flu.

Yeah, Trouts mom needs a healthy throat.

They don’t remove almost everyone’s tonsils like they use to many years ago. The same goes for the appendix.

At 71, I still have my tonsils and have never had any side effects from beer.

I, personally, do not mis my appendix

Since Agnes is at the doctor’s, it might be good to ask about that foot bob

It is absolutely true that you are amazing, Agnes.

Hospital recently returned after a bit of surgery. Chilly but boring.
