@Stan da Man- Well, he understands what it means to "go out with a BANG."
@Shayne- Thank you! As regular readers of Johnny hopefully know, I'm never making fun of people's illnesses - rather, I'm trying to find a bit of perverse humor in the challenges we all have to face whether we want to or not. Hope you're feeling healthy these days!
Guy in my homebrew club got nick name of "Heart Attack Tom" when his embedded pacemaker went off during a meeting. Three times. w/ quite dramatic results. The first time, he assured us he was OK, the 2nd time, we called his wife to take him to the hospital. The 3rd time we called 911, and called wife back - "Meet him there" Was kinda freaky...
@Pete(Detroit)- When you say "went off," do you mean it stopped working, or was it one of the newer models which will deliver a defib shock when necessary (like Dick Cheney's)? In either event, I hope he's doing okay now!
It freaked out, and started zapping him - hilarity (and some freak outs) ensued... Haven't seen him in a while, the diabetes kinda keeps him away from beer, I guess... boo nice guy good brewer hope he's healthy - ish, as it were...
As one guy put it the other night (at beer club), first they tell you no smoking, then they tell you no fatty foods, then no drinking, THEN then tell you no sex. 1) WTF you in on this w/ my wife? 2) at a certain point, there are quality of life issues here - if you can't Smoke, Eat, Drink or Screw, why the hell are you alive? (never mind, we know - for the {grand} CHILLLLLDDDDREEEENNN)
@Pete(Detroit)- You paint quite a picture! Hopefully he always carries his beer in plastic cups instead of glassware.
And seriously, why is it that doctors always try to get you to prolong your life by cutting out the pleasures? Just once I'd like to have a horrible malady which requires me to avoid brussel sprouts or something...
