Blueberry

I had my left eye decataracted this morning, but just between us, I did it so I could get another one of those St Thomas Hospital special blueberry muffins. This time, I saved the wrapper just so I could report to you where you might find one without having to go to so much trouble.

When I became less visually impaired, however, I discovered that one alone has 350 calories, 16 grams of fat, 60 mg of cholesterol, and only 500 mg of sodium. This, of course, is after already osmosing a bucket full of saline solution IV for the better part of an hour. My next medical memo will probably come from the cardiac wing.

The docs take an oath to do no harm, and I might as well, too. So I’m not telling you where they peddle these blueberry muffins, save to say that on overdose, they’re for sure to die for.
