And as we go to another stirring chapter of "As the Thread Creeps"...............

After the bypass a few years back, I experienced one of those odd little things similar to what you mention Don. I don't know why exactly and the Docs all just made mumbling noises, but it was very weird. They remove a vein from your leg to use in the bypass and anyone who has had one will tell you that there is a lot more pain from the leg than from the chest. In any case, I also added a new twist. Because of the accompanying circulation problems there is some discoloration that occurs in the lower leg. Okay, no big deal. But I also grew this unbelievable crop of hair where before I had had very little. I mean the lower leg from about 4 inches below the knee was DENSE!!! I looked like Alley Oop fer chrissakes!!! It seems to have gone away in the most part now, but I often have wondered what the hell caused it.
