I can feel the pain from here. :-) :-) .............A couple of years ago I got to watch my own triple bypass operation........the producers of a tv reality program called RPA were interested in me because of another condition which required surgery at the same time....the show was later broadcast all over Australia and the tv station sent me a dvd. It is very strange looking at someone cutting and prizing through your chest and seeing your own heart beating. I only watched it once.
ErikH - Posted - 01/12/2013: 17:14:15
Wow. When I had the mediport removed from my chest, the surgeon only used a local, so I was able to watch, sort of. There wasn't a mirror or anything, so I could only see so much, but before he closed, he stepped back and let me look at the incision, so I could see my pectoral muscle inside. Pretty cool. Not as cool as seeing your own heart beating, though.
mbanjo - Posted - 01/12/2013: 18:45:34
I never used to give surgeons a second thought......but now I think they are absolutely brilliant...........BTW what's a mediport? I haven't heard that term before......maybe we call it something different here:-)
ErikH - Posted - 01/13/2013: 03:56:50
It is a sort of shunt with a catheter that goes into a vein, and they implant it in your chest. They can access it to draw blood or administer chemotherapy, which I had to undergo a number of years ago.
banjoscotty - Posted - 01/13/2013: 07:42:02
That mediport is a God sent for sure.Yes sir reee buddy and
all that there kind of stuff.
mbanjo - Posted - 01/13/2013: 11:55:43
I can see the wisdom in that Erik...........used to hate the vampires punturing me for blood 3 or 4 times a day :-)
mbanjo - Posted - 01/13/2013: 22:51:08
One minute has passed since the previous last word

ErikH - Posted - 01/14/2013: 02:32:03
That's 45 degrees warmer than it is here this morning. Last word.
mbanjo - Posted - 01/14/2013: 04:18:31
In 45 minutes its going to be Tuesday.............I never slept all Monday .......last word
Alaina - Posted - 01/14/2013: 10:46:00
The last word is hiding under my desk snuggled up next to my heater... Someone else take him, he's stealing all the heat!
mbanjo - Posted - 01/14/2013: 12:37:49
If he likes the heat he can stay with me for a while..........as long as he behaves and doesnt drink all my whiskey
Alaina - Posted - 01/14/2013: 14:15:53
He's not a whiskey fan, I don't think. So you should be good!
ErikH - Posted - 01/14/2013: 14:34:00
The last word can come and snuggle up next to me and the dog if my whiskey is safe, too...........
Alaina - Posted - 01/14/2013: 14:38:44
I think he would like that, just make sure he wears his coat if he goes outside!
ErikH - Posted - 01/14/2013: 14:52:12
It's not too bad out right now--about 22F. It was 11 this morning.
Alaina - Posted - 01/14/2013: 14:55:19
It was 38F when I went into work this morning. I. DON'T. LIKE. THAT. TEMPERATURE.
mbanjo - Posted - 01/14/2013: 14:58:33
That's cooooooold...........its up nearly 90F here ........was warmer last week 100+
Alaina - Posted - 01/14/2013: 15:12:44
It's stupid cold. Though I do like getting to wear long sleeves, various jackets, and my new boots!
ErikH - Posted - 01/14/2013: 15:40:28
I actually like it better in single digits and the teens than in the 30's. It's damp and chilly in the 30's, but dry when it gets colder.
ErikH - Posted - 01/14/2013: 17:25:16
I'm perfectly content to sit outside when it is approaching 100 and drink beer. If I'm expected to perform physical activity, I'd prefer it to be 90 or lower. 78 and low humidity would be ideal.
mbanjo - Posted - 01/14/2013: 21:43:04
Humidity is a killer for me.............luckily the heat around here is normally dry
ErikH - Posted - 01/15/2013: 02:21:53
We don't have Florida or Gulf coast humidity, but it's usually plenty humid in Chicago in the summer. When I was in the Custer area of South Dakota the temperature was in the upper 90's, and I wasn't even sweating because the humidity was relatively low. The news reports said the humidity was high, which it might have been for the area, but it wasn't close to what I was accustomed to.
TheLastWord - Posted - 01/15/2013: 04:01:08
Unfortunately, it's always humid in the south. However, the good news is the last word is always in Florida.
Alaina - Posted - 01/15/2013: 09:24:05
How in the world can the last word always be in Florida when he would rather be cold than hot?
Alaina - Posted - 01/15/2013: 11:52:52
That is entirely possible... As long as he gets to go swimming to cool off
mbanjo - Posted - 01/15/2013: 12:14:59
I believe he is an excellent swimmer.....breaststroke especially
Alaina - Posted - 01/15/2013: 12:16:08
Not to mention just straight cannon-balling into the deep end!
banjoscotty - Posted - 01/15/2013: 13:25:04
The last word is now swimming in Indian River under south bridge
in Ft. Pierce, Fla.
Alaina - Posted - 01/15/2013: 14:20:57
Unless you steal my dog, I'll always have last word. I changed his name just now!
mbanjo - Posted - 01/15/2013: 15:25:21
Is that a fair thing for a cyber child to do to her parent?..........:-)
