Thank you all for the encouragement!
I'm "low fat Cheese" now!
Well.......i'm still fat.....but not as bad as before.
Guess i should have asked you all to pray for my being a klutz too. My wife and i went to "Subway" to split a $5 footlong. As i was getting back into the car, i misjudged it, and hit the right side of my head so hard it almost litterally knocked me out. I think i have a minor concussion (heck of a headache too).
Man......if it's not one thing, it's another, hey???
Me and the wife watched a clip on youtube of a coronary bypass surgery just like i had........man........it was soooo gross to see what they actually DID to me. And that clip was like 7 minutes long, while the real operation takes hours. My poor wife kept belching.......i thought she was gonna hurl all over the computer!

I told you that it was a good thing you weren't awake to watch what they did with you. Surgery is a disturbing thing, yet amazing too. I love being in the operating room, but I hope to hell I never have to be operated on!

You were RIGHT!!!
It was quite gross.......and they left alot of it out. You get the feeling of what was done, but not the whole thing.
I'm glad i was "asleep" through it.
But it sure made me KNOW why I feel as sore as i do!!!

Yep, and it's the stuff they left out that was truly horrifying. There's a reason why it's stereotypically the assholes of the medical profession who go into surgery. (And it's often after the patient is put under that their tyrannical nature really emerges: a lot of surgeons treat nurses and other doctors like shit.)

We like to think of a surgeon as a sensitive artist expertly plying his precisely tipped brush with a practiced hand. Think of a construction worker trying to control a jackhammer, and you probably have a more accurate picture of the situation. The way they pull things apart and toss things around is terrifying.

My father once told me that during my mother's cesareans, he witnessed surgeons casually pulling vital organs entirely outside my mother's body purely for the audience's viewing pleasure, then setting them aside on the operating table until it was time to sew her back up. It's amazes me that the human body is capable of withstanding such grotesque abuse.

That goes along with what my father-in-law is fond of saying: "Why would you ever want to be a doctor? A doctor is nothing more than an overpaid mechanic. I've never met a doctor who wasn't bored with his job."

He has a point. 😃

Oh man.......i believe that!
Three weeks after the operation i saw my surgeon.........he was so "no big deal" about what he did in my chest. I KNOW the guy does it all the time, so like any job, it HAS to become boring. But to me, it's amazing.
The man litterally held my heart in his hands. And had he not did a good job, i wouldn't be here now.

My cardiologist has been doing it for 18 year. When i saw him, his attitude was that he was amazed at how well i was doing. He even said so much.
When i told him how shocked i was when he told me how bad i really was, he said "To be honest with you, i was shocked too. You shouldn't have even been walking around with as many blockages as you had."
The nice thing was, he still seems to enjoy what he's doing. He was genuinely happy to see that i was up and around. The man's actions saved my life........had he done what my doctor ordered, the stress teast, instead of going with his own feelings, to bypass that and go right for the heart cath, i very possibly could have had a major heart attack during the stress test.
I could have ended up with major unfixable damage.

Weird, I see it both in my original post and in your quote of my original post.

dfosterf (14h) : I do very much appreciate when Beast and others pick up my slack 😊

dfosterf (27-Aug) : tell her I reckon
dfosterf (27-Aug) : Micah Robinson cut. Probable PS player tomorrow. Has to call mom back and t
Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : New site so much better. Might make switch and deal with it.
dfosterf (27-Aug) : Mecole Hardman to our practice squad
dfosterf (27-Aug) : Nick Nieman from Texans our 5th linebacker. Special teams signing
TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Looks like we signed Clayton Tune as QB3
wpr (27-Aug) : TKT people lose their minds over QB3. Point is almost none of them are ready that's why they are on the PS and other teams don't take them.
TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Unfortunately he doesn't seem ready to be an emergency QB.
TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : As a Canadian and a follower of Canadian University football. I am rooting for him
dfosterf (27-Aug) : I bet a lot of us will follow the Taylor Elgersma journey with interest. Personally, got a Kurt Warner vibe goin' on. I like him
TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Not sure if either will be claimed though.

Mucky Tundra (27-Aug) : Schefter must have deleted his tweet
dfosterf (27-Aug) : Hopefully Jerry reaches under the seat cushions and ashtrays of his jet and scrapes up the 45 million apr and spares us further nonsense
dfosterf (27-Aug) : Have to admit the PO'd Cowboy fan videos would be fun to watch. Problem with draft picks is half their fanbase barely knows what that is
beast (27-Aug) : I think Cowboys fans are ready to get their pitch forks and burning sticks if Jerry were to trade Micah
dfosterf (27-Aug) : If Jerry traded Micah to GB, here in northern Va. they would have to quick build yet another data center to handle the internet hate traffic
Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : its signing and trades that you don't hear about, other then announced
Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : If you hear rumors about Packers sign or trade, won't happen. Not how they work
dfosterf (27-Aug) : 19 players in a contract year. Jones called loss to us worst loss in Cowboy history. Forget Parsons trade. Not happenin' Cap'n
packerfanoutwest (27-Aug) : The Packers, meanwhile, are the youngest team in the league for the third consecutive year.
dfosterf (27-Aug) : That it was darkest before the dawn in Bengals and Commanders before they got deals done
Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : what is Schefter saying?
dfosterf (27-Aug) : He was getting Dorito infusion therapy
dfosterf (27-Aug) : He's outta shape. Why, just the other day I saw him splayed out on the trainers table
