You have a way, haffast.
“””I really liked your going to the doctor story. It reminds me of my going to the doctor stories, as yet unwritten.
You have a way, haffast.”””
Got some new material just this last Wednesday. Took the wife to have a Bubble echocardiogram done as a follow-up to a Patent Foramen Ovale (PFO) closure she had done last fall.
The PFO is basically running a mechanics pick up tool up each leg into the upper ventricles of the heart and putting a bolt through the hole on one side and nut on the other side and screwing them together. Ambulatory in a day with a 30’ or 30 sec guarantee. Home same day.
All to prevent a very minuscule chance that a clot would pass through that hole and cause a minor stroke like she had last June.
You’ve been in a stint or three or four yourself haven’t you?
Have you heard the one about the 64 year old son with shot knees and heel spurs following his 85 year old mother around the grocery store who is recovering from knee replacement surgery done last December ?
The funny thing is, she’s pushing a cart of food while I, 52R coat and 22” neck man’s man am trying to keep up with her on one of those Amigo electric shopping carts the store provides, and it is straining to keep up while I lean into the wind streamlining myself to reduce drag. I understand aerodynamics you know. I look like a guerilla sitting on a football.
And then that nice young man in the produce section, who admittedly knows the difference between an orange and an apple, friends with dear old Mom, discovers I’m her son and not her husband and nicknames me “Sonny”!
I get no respect I tell ya.
Yeah, with your unlimited wit and knowledge of pop culture you should get your doctor stories written up and we can just laugh laugh laugh trading stories. ;)
