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!

Guess what?
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.


Fan Shout
wpr (4h) : 7 days
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : sounds like Packers don't get good compensation, Jaire staying
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Trade, cut or keep
dfosterf (16-Apr) : that from Jaire
dfosterf (16-Apr) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.
dfosterf (16-Apr) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission
dfosterf (16-Apr) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : That someone ... likely the agent.
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"
dfosterf (16-Apr) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that
dfosterf (16-Apr) : What is the downside in making a calculated reduced offer to Jaire?
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers are receiving interest in Jaire Alexander but a trade is not imminent
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Jalen Ramsey wants to be traded. He's never happy is he?
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : two 1sts in 2022 and two 2nd's in 2023 and 2024
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers had fortunate last three drafts.
dfosterf (15-Apr) : I may have to move
dfosterf (15-Apr) : My wife just told the ancient Japanese sushi dude not enough rice under his fish
Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I think a dozen is what I need
dfosterf (14-Apr) : Go fund me for this purpose just might work. A dozen nurses show up at 1265 to provide mental health assistance.
dfosterf (14-Apr) : Maybe send a crew of Angels to the Packers draft room on draft day.
Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I am the Angel that gets visited.
dfosterf (14-Apr) : Visiting Angels has a pretty good reputation
Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : what
Martha Careful (14-Apr) : WINNING IT, not someone else losing it. The best victory though was re-uniting with his wife
Martha Careful (14-Apr) : The manner in which he won it was just amazing and wonderful. First blowing the lead then getting back, then blowing it. But ultimately
Zero2Cool (12-Apr) : I'm guessing since the thumb was broken, he wasn't feeling it.
dfosterf (10-Apr) : Looking for guidance. Not feeling the thumb.
Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : If they knew about it or not
Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : I don't recall that he did which is why I asked.
Zero2Cool (10-Apr) : Guessing they probably knew. Did he have cast or something on?
Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : Did they know that at the time or was that something the realized afterwards?
Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Van Ness played most of season with broken thumb
wpr (9-Apr) : yay
Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Mark Murphy says Steelers likely to protect Packers game. Meaning, no Ireland
Zero2Cool (8-Apr) : Struggling to figure out what text editor options are needed and which are 'nice to have'
Mucky Tundra (8-Apr) : *CHOMP CHOMP CHOMP*
Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : WR who said he'd break Xavier Worthy 40 time...and ran slower than you
Mucky Tundra (2-Apr) : Who?
Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Texas’ WR Isaiah Bond is scheduled to visit the Bills, Browns, Chiefs, Falcons, Packers and Titans starting next week.
Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Spotting ball isn't changing, only measuring distance is, Which wasn't the issue.
Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : The spotting of the ball IS the issue. Not the chain gang.
