Tomorrow I'll Jump like a Frog

The sciatica pains are almost gone. My legs are weak after two months of disuse. Yet the doctor ordered an electro conduction test for tomorrow. I feel that I am well but there is no escape from the health bureaucracy machine. They may punish me if I do not appear at the Lewinstein Clinic. My wife surely will. Luigi Galvani discovered that even a dead frog will jump when given an electric shock and called the phenomenon "animal electricity". He wrote up the discovery in his "De Viribus Electricitatis in Motu Musculari Commentarius". It used to be a classic school experiment till the league against cruelty on animals delegitimized and forbid it. Yet it is still practiced on unfortunate fat old Jews.
