Subject: RE: BS: Colonoscopy ins and outs
So is beer, jac, but, it may qualify as a blood thinner, so, "don't ask, don't tell", eh.

Peace... nuts! I absolutely love peanuts. I can eat em until the cows go mad. However, as you are no doubt aware, they are not so good for lads our age. In your case, it might be bad for the hips. The wear and tear, I mean, on both your hips and hers. In my case, it's the arthritis in my hands. I can't even eat a peanut butter sandwich without thinking about oysters. Anyway, the Blue Jays love em. Thanks, buddy.

BTW, I didn't say shit to old Doc Murphy as he was in a good mood this AM and I was scared, on accounta the prep nurse put the IV stint (stint? right?) in the right arm at the elbow crook. Then, the OR nurse (well, it's a "procedure room") put the pressure cuff of the automatic monitor on the right arm.

Bad situation because because my arm is "Ahhnold". I had visions of the cuff slipping over the stint and mangling my vein. I pulled it as close to my shoulder as I could and she said, kinda huffy like, "It's fine." I think her poor mood was raised when, earlier, after she wheeled over the cart, I looked at the apparati and quipped, "You did put that on defrost already, eh?" I suppose, when you have to deal with assholes all day long, you might end up with a shitty sense of humour.
