Hit me with your best shot.

Wow. It's been three years that I've been writing this blog and frankly? I can't believe that I've stayed with it for this long. I know that I have because of all of you. You've been a community of thinkers and feelers and learners right along with me and that's made me want to write and share here.

So thanks for that. For real.

A while ago someone asked me to write a post called "ask the gradydoctor." Not in the ask me my medical opinion on things sense (which I don't do here) but instead an opportunity for members of this community to ask. . . .hmmm. . . . any burning (read: random) questions that they may have. When I first heard that request, I said, "Meh." (Insert shoulder shrug here.)

Then. Another person asked me this recently and then surprisingly, another. So with that in mind and the fact that I'm at the three year mark, here we go.

Why the three year mark? Well. Didn't you know that three is a magic number? At least according to School House Rock (which we rock out to in the Volvo five out of seven days per week) it is.

Is it normal that it's 2012 and  the kids and I can sing every single word to this and every other School House Rock jam? Sure can. Oh! And is it normal that I tear up on the part of "Three is a Magic Number" that says "a man and a woman had a little baby. . .there were three in the family. . .that's a magic number" since it makes me think of the day we brought Isaiah home from the hospital?

*sniffle*



Le sigh.

It also taught my boys to count by threes. Anty-who. Yeah, I digress. But if you read here often you know that I do digress a lot.

So where was I? Oh yeah. The "ask the gradydoctor" thing.

Okay. First, let me say this. Having a post called "ask the gradydoctor" sounds rather obnoxious, so instead I'm just going to call it "Hit me with your best shot, volume 1." If I'm lucky, there will be more volumes.

Here's how it will work:

In the comment section of this post, simply ask your question. I won't publish the questions, instead I will just include some of them in a post with the answers. Feel free to be anonymous, even if you normally have a log in--or not.

What else?

Oh. What to ask? I don't know. Random stuff is awesome to me, medical student situations/advice, mental iPod music, what I think about Jennifer Anniston's recent engagement, whether or not jeggings are for everyone, why I want a minivan. . . .whatever. As long as it's appropriate (and I am hoping most of us know how to define that.) Since the queries won't be published, you don't have to be inhibited by that part,  either.

Now.

This could be a total bust and if it is, I will fully blame the three people who encouraged me to do this.  Ha ha. If it  goes better than expected, then I can spread the answers into separate posts.

Alrighty. Hit me with your best shots. Fire away.

Maaaan, I need to go round. Deuces.
