FWD: Latest update on Pat "Nine Toes" Flannery
....Latest update on Pat Flannery, from his pal Jay:
"[Nine Toes Flannery] Sounds like an Irish mob boss. Pat had his toe removed Friday morning. Everything went well and things are progressing the way the doctor thought they would. He has to remain in bed for the next couple of days, which means using the bed pan. "You don't realize the importance of gravity in that activity until you try to defecate horizontally," he said. He will remain in the hospital for a few more days so they can watch over his foot and remove any more dead skin and make sure all the infected areas have been taken care of. He is worried about being able to drive with the huge bandage wrapping around his left foot. And he's not happy about all the diabetic diet lectures he's getting and all the fruit they keep trying to feed him. (He admitted to developing a taste for grapes, however.) " ....Well, at least we can make jokes about Pat not having his **** together. OM -- "No ******* ever won a war by dying for | http://www.io.com/~o_m his country. He won it by making the other | Sergeant-At-Arms poor dumb ******* die for his country." | Human O-Ring Society - General George S. Patton, Jr |

I'm back from the hospital and able to move around somewhat thanks to the giant strap-on black boot that Senator Palpatine was nice enough to attach to me (he says he has more attachments handy if I ever need them). Gangrene smells every bit as bad as it's described in the movies- the toe could make trained nurses nauseous. But the toe is no more, and now I have a giant split in my foot where it resided. While at the hospital (which had surprisingly good food BTW) I was under the care of the Norski Nurses- a bevy of young farm-raised girls who are so pleasant that they are downright surreal as they race from patient to patient in their Strawberry Shortcake and Winnie The Pooh smocks; although the smock with the children and angels on it was a bit foreboding if you thought about it too much. Then there was another nurse who reminded me of Edith Prickly from SCTV; she had a smock on with frogs on it, and explained that she had planned to wear it of Friday as then it would be Froggy Friday but wore it on Saturday instead so now it was Froggy Saturday. A addendum to the Second Amendment might incorporate something regarding the right of hospital patients to keep and bear arms for their own protection. Where I really lucked out was my doc; I liked this guy from the moment he walked in and pulled a model of the human foot skeletal structure out of his side pocket. I quickly discovered that he was as big of a LOTR fan as I was, and that he knew all about missiles (conversation quickly moved from how much of the foot was leaving to the comparative dangers of hydrogen peroxide and hydrazine as missile propellants) and had set himself on fire with a recoilless rifle once, much as I had set myself on fire with my siege mortar. It may have been the drugs, but it seemed to me that his scalpel glowed with a strange blue light as it drew near the afflicted toe, and that he was muttering High Elvish as he worked. The main problem I now suffer from is a doozie of a case of phlebitis in both hands due to the strong IV administered antibiotics that were used to treat the infection; and the pain from the foot is only minor compared to that- which feels like I had dipped both of my hands into boiling water. I won't be posting very much for a while, as typing is very painful. Pat |

FWD: Latest update on Pat "Nine Toes" Flannery
Got a whopper of a case of phlebitis in my arm after I had my appendics
out. Heat elevation etc, (the heat actually felt good) I understand that mine stemmed from using perhaps to small a vein for the pain killer used. The thing that really sucks is that apparently it can cause a predispostion to getting it in the future, or so I was told. Now whenever I have a procedure done I just have to be aware of the signs.....did the young farm raised nurses in smocks have nice complexions??? Tell us more..............Doc |

No women over ten years younger than you are, as you will have few shared experiences you both grew up with to talk about. 2. No women over ten years older than you are for the same reason. 3. No women you work with or for or works for you; if things go awry you will still be running into them on a regular basis. 4. No women who live in your close vicinity for the same reason. 5. No women from a markedly different socioeconomic background than yourself, as their world view will be very different from yours. 6. No women whose education level is markedly different than yours, as again you will have little to talk about. 7. No women whose ex-boyfriends were crazy or criminals, that should be a real good clue that there is something odd going on upstairs with them. 8. No women with children, as that adds a great deal of complexity to any relationship.* 9. No women whose finances are in a state of constant chaos, as that indicates that your finances will also end up that way shortly. 10. No women whose family is odd, as the acorn doesn't fall far from the tree. The key to all these rules is to obey them scrupulously, as if you do that you will soon realize that virtually all the women that you encounter are disqualified by at least one of them, and you can then avoid the cost and complexity of dating and spend your time and money on more worthwhile pursuits- such as studying unbuilt rocket and jet powered aircraft designs of the Third Reich and the mating habits of giant squids. ;-) * Male lions neatly solve this problem by killing any cubs left by their predecessor on taking over a new pride of females. W.C. Fields would probably approve of this concept. Pat |
