Oh yeah, seeing as how laughter is the best medicine- Shark Country’s comment made me remember a funny joke.
There’s this guy and he’s seriously ill. In fact the doctors say he has just days, maybe just hours left to live. So they call in his wife and leave them alone. The guy tells his wife, “I have one last request.” She says, “Anything. Anything you ask.” So he tells her, “I want you to make love to me.” She’s aghast, “But you’re too weak. It will kill you .” “Please,” he says, “one last time. It’s all I ask.”
So they do it.
And miraculously he’s cured. The doctors check him out and pronounce him 100% cured, at which he begins crying uncontrollably. And not a ‘happy to be alive’ cry. The doctors and his wife can’t figure out what’s wrong. “Why are you crying? Didn’t you understand? You’re cured!”
His reply, “Yes… but if i had known…” he sobbed, “…I could have saved my mother.”
I can't say the thread title without hearing the tune to ''Puttin On The Ritz.'' You've got to write the story in prose, that is appropriate to the tune, and put it on You Tube. It'll go viral!

I smell a hit Yes bill you have a 2Nd career in the works. Now buy that gold elvis suit some dark glasses and you can go on tour!
That was my second operation. The first time a guy used his hands and held the entry points for several hours. The third and fourth time they did it by hand.
I always have major hematomas after those operations. I think during my first or second operation, I was walking around the hospsital with my wife after they told me I should walk around and the right side opened up some and I had to spend another day or 2 in the hospital with the heavy bags. I had the worst ever hematoma that time.
My doctor like to put in extra lines, so he uses both sides too. He says that it something unusual happens he has the other side setup and ready to take care of it. During my last operation, I fell asleep and my sleep apnea scared the shit out of them.
I think for the ablation procedure they use multiple lines for mapping the electrical paths and to burn the conductive tissue once it's identified. It's different from a catheterization/angioplasty procedure but I am not sure of all the details. They used 3 lines from each side. They use a lot of Heparin to prevent the blood from clotting around the catheters. That is what makes it difficult to stop the bleeding. I remember them testing my clotting factor several times before they decided it was OK to pull the lines.

I never thought about putting the sock on. I think there’s a photo of my hematomas somewhere, but it’s not worth looking for. Don’t want to play the mine’s bigger game, although…
When I first had the heart attack and got out of the hospital, they put me on Coumadin, and that sucks because you need regular blood tests. The first time I go in to the clinic, there’s an old guy doing the blood draw. My veins pop out like a weight lifter, but for some reason the guy couldn’t get the needle in. I think the veins move a little and he wasn’t quite on his A game that day. After a couple of minutes of poking me I just about lost it.
Getting back to boards, I took my daughter to the beach yesterday and we paddled around in the channel at Ala Moana park. We had a chance to try the sit on top board I made and I got some exercise (no surfing). She liked using her outrigger canoe paddle, but I need to make a Kayak paddle. I think this board will be a blast with a kayak paddle and some straps to hold the rider down. May even work as a SUP, but it’s a bit small at 8’ x 24" x 4". I think 26" or 28" would be stable enough to stand on without having to be moving.
Take care John. I think Bernie is planning on stopping by the gathering. I won’t be making it up there. Hope to meet you and ride some waves with you one day.
Damn John, Nice lookin sock you got there! Size 6 to 12 or one size fits all ? Looks like your old lady beat the crap out of you with a base ball bat! Ha Ha!!!
That sock is KILLER! Do they sell them on the Swagshop or whatever it’s called? I admit I’ll need one a bit smaller than yours. I like tiger stripes myself. John, you got stop getting behind those donkeys. They can really kick! Mike
