Boots - you are not supposed to make someone who just had open heart surgery laugh
The process includes
A 7" incision (want to see it? You don't - it's ugly, but it is straight)
A saw to cut the ribs right done the middle
A pry bar to open up the ribs
Somewhere in here I think they also use two come-a-longs and later a couple port-a-powers
Then the slashing and sewing start starts
Followed by removing the port-a-powers and come-a-long
Then two nurses stand on your ribs to push them back down
While they are wired together with bailing wire
A 1/2" tube is laid along the incision to serve as a drain with an extra opening for removal a few days later
Then the skin is stretched and sewed back together
The girl in room 13 looks like a highly wrinkled pug or a shar pais one of those heavily wrinkled hounds)
They evidently did an outstanding job on the lipo but forgot to remove the excess skin
She lies in waiting for new suckers to challenge as any good pool shark would do
I accepted the challenge with a stipulation that i could use the gentleman's four point cane from room 16
She laughed at that ridiculous request and upped the bet to $5,000, an amount that I didn't have
Nurse Hatchet stood holding a bed pan at the starting line
When the bed pan hit the floor we took off
It was fairly even at the first turn but I knew I was in trouble and had to use my backup plan
The four point cane took a large wrinkle from her exposed thigh and flipped it over the front of her wheelchair
This caused the wheelchair to flip forward in a manner similar to using only the front brakes on a bicycle
Coasted to the lunchroom and it was high fives all around - not only was the girl in room 13 ugly on the outside, she was ugly on the inside
BTW - I came home today - four days after surgery. Don't have the strength to open the XL Egg but could handle the small. Activity will be very limited for next 4 weeks and somewhat limited for the following 4 weeks. Don't want to end up back in the hospital with my chest opened back up.
