...and I’m not talking about the recent career antics of Miley Cyrus.
I made a mistake in yesterday’s post.
Yes, I did.
I realize that you probably find that very hard to believe and it is indeed a very rare occurrence, one that usually coincides with the return of
Halley’s Comet, but stay with me for a minute. In yesterday’s post I stated that I have a lipoma in my ilium.
That is not correct.
Not by a long shot.
Hear me out.
I do not have a lipoma in my ilium. No, indeedy.
I have a lipoma in my ileum.
Big difference.
The ilium is a bone in the pelvis. This is the ilium:
.
The ileum, on the other hand, is the final section of the small intestine. This is the ileum:
.
The ileum can be examined through an endoscopy or a colonoscopy or an enteroscopy. The ilium most assuredly cannot.
At least not yet.
A thousand pardons.

Well of course I noticed. I've had lots of my ileum removed and had it been my ilium I'd not be riding a bike I can tell you. However, I took it as an obvious mistake and knew in time you'd beg forgiveness, which is graciously received. *grins.
ReplyDeleteLike All Consuming I knew that you had made an error. My partner has now had two ileostomies so we are more familiar than we like with ileums.
ReplyDeleteUnlike you, I make lots of mistakes so like seeing others fall from grace occasionally. I thought you had done it (much like the hostess spilling wine) to make your visitors feel better about themselves.
Clearly my previous comment -referring to nipples and an octopus - has been rejected by the Mayor of Cherokee County. I apologise for any offence caused. May I assure you that this was unintentional. Fond regards - Y.Pudding (Mr)
ReplyDelete"my previous comment -referring to nipples and an octopus" - HAHAHAHAHA. That's quite priceless and just vague enough to sound incredibly weird.
ReplyDeleteWhat a difference a single letter makes, eh?
ReplyDeleteI think they laser those don't they?
ReplyDeleteMy friend,
ReplyDeleteAn easy mistake to make. As for Miley, just a mistake by the dude with the achey brakey heart...
Amazing... I learn something even when you make mistakes. Today I'm praising God for your good health, and for educational follow-ups!
