Rx Humor Care Click Here * (ok, try turning the pages) is humor written by a retired nurse. It takes the reader on a hilarious read of travel, healthcare, mothering and a forty year marriage. The Baby Boomer generation will be in stitches with the author's descriptions of the X, Y, and Z generations. The X, Y, and Z's will want a dose of Baby Boomer humor. In the chapter "Smack Talk", the X, Y and Z generation has "Throwback Thursday" on social networking. Rx Humor Care suggests "Throwback Sunday, "CALL YOUR MOTHER!" That chapter deals with grandkids sharing their new trends. "Balls Punching", will put all ages into uncontrolled laughter. The chapter, "The Red Light District" tells of travel to Amsterdam, and the author's inability to get to the "Red Light District." "I missed Amsterdam's red light district, all because a group of juvenile delinquents walked right next to me and "Pot-highed me!" The chapter on Arizona describes the tours she and her husband took and living in the desert. Not only did the Grand Canyon tour prove hilarious, "The guide said I had on, "Musk perfume," and the donkey wanted to mate with me instead of carry me to the bottom of the Grand Canyon." Once again her nursing comes into play watching others at top of the canyon. In the Chapter, "Rx From Me to You," a man nearly falls over the canyon cliff and the author describes what she is thinking as everyone is screaming at him. "....he wouldn't be a candidate for the wound vac. By the time, he would have bounced off rocks six thousand feet down; there wouldn't be any muscle mass to connect the wound vac to him. That's a shame, just bloody bones! Bruce said to me, "Are you thinking that sick wound vac stuff again?" The final chapter deals with seniors being pressured to have an "Advanced Directive" in their medical care. The author takes the reader through the steps of obtaining an Advanced Directive online. "The next question could have approached me with more sensitivity. Are there some health situations that would make your life not worth living? Well, an asthma attack in the checkout lane is not a pretty sight. No one says, "Oh, please, you go ahead of me," after that commercial where the guy stepped ahead of a man in line and won a million dollars. Those in line are more inclined to say, "Die lady, I might be the next winner!"
