"..fire, and not the scrap heap."
...I really like that.
My folks were anti john f Kennedy because he was a catholic.
There was a lot of that. Mine because he was a democrat. I was too young to care.
I'm lying here eating this hospital food. I'd love to have a big greasy burger with grilled onions, mushrooms. lettuce, tomatoes, mustard with a slice of grilled pineapple. Only greasy french fries will work. I'll be out of here tomorrow & I can get some real food.

Well,,,,,,,,,,,,,, BC, your still on the green side of the grass. Can't be all bad, a speedy recovery. Will you have to do any therapy? I'm not sure what you had done, so don't chuckle at my last question. Ah, go-ahead if it makes you feel better.
No, if you know it's coming it's just not the same. Here's the therapy scoop. Right now I put my leg in a machine that moves it up & down. The up motion started at 55 degrees & increases 5 degrees daily. 3 sessions daily each 2 hours long. -5 degrees down. The 1st 15 minutes of a new degree are really tough, the machine probably isn't in use in Minnesota. Next I do repetitive side to side & up & down leg movements. Doing them quickly isn't too bad but slow is pure torture. Started with 10 repetitions of each exercise 3 times daily increasing by 5 repetitions a day. Tomorrow's 20 reps each will certainly be a torture test. So far I've done them all but the real fun begins when the physical therapist shows up for 3 visits per week. I only hope I don't need him to help me bend anything. If it was any more fun i couldn't stand it. My goal is to take this new knee fishing in 3 weeks. My butcher says 4 weeks but I am pushing myself. Anybody can do it in 4 weeks. I just don't want to do any harm to my wound. Besides, if i don't heal up quickly old Charley will find a weak spot.

Regained consciousness in a field hospital in vietnam's highlands in 1968. I should have been dead, dead, dead. Over 3 months in the hospital. I should have been looking at the grass roots but I had a second chance. No one, except a man with a like experience can harbor the love of life, the joy in a beautiful sunrise or the 1st cry of a grandchild as a man who's literally seen his last day. We're all brother's here & I'm telling you, get out there & enjoy this life, it's the only one you're going to get. I'm through.
