OUCH!

It's always entertaining to have med students to torture, isn't it?  I love the looks of shock on their faces when my nurse or doc asks me to explain dialysis to them. 

I even made a nursing student faint when a group of them were supposed to be helping the nurse with my bandage change.  Packing an infected wound on a plastic dummy isn't quite the same as seeing (and smelling!) the real thing!

So sorry about your accident but happy to see your sense of humor is still intact!  :clap;

Ouch that sounds painfull. Hope you feel better soon.

I like to "show" the students my huge PKD kidneys and liver cysts when I go in as well. They gather around and make printouts of them, COOL.

So I know pics of  kidneys are out there in the world for all to see.  :rofl;

Thats the second time I have broken my sternum, - I really should stop doing it, - most inconvenient!  :rofl;

Ever the master of understatement HenryHarry.  Glad you have your mischief back.  Hope its not because your still off your rocker on high quality painkillers.  The morning after can suck a  lot.  Here's to a quick, quiet recovery with whatever it is that helps you pass the time.  Good company, for some.  P&Q for others.  Sweet lovin for a third contingent.

Dearest Henry, I love to read the stuff you write.  I, too, was excited when I saw the X-ray of my tummy with the PD catheter inside, and also the X-ray of my chest when I had a hemo catheter and could see how it connected to my heart.  Sorry to hear about the car.  I had the same thing happen in December when my caregiver was driving my car.  The other driver's insurance refused liability, but my insurance paid handsomely and I got a new (to me) 2006 Toyota Corolla with only 33,000 miles on it, and had money left over.  I sure miss my other car, though!  Hope you heal quickly.

I hoped you charged a small fee for the show!   That's pretty good entertainment value.

Bugger! (Hope it's okay to use that word!) Glad you are okay. Feel a bit cheated as we'll now have to wait for stories from your travels.

Henry you are having way too much fun. Glad you will be alright tho in the end. I know a broken sternum is painful and to my husband, he feels pain whenever the weather changes. ( Like every single day ). Hope you dont have the same reaction.
