I had a bone marrow biopsy today.

I knew I was in for a fun time when they ushered me into a sound-proof room with some cordless drills on a table ....

An experienced not to be missed.

I used to love working the Theatres when they did 'Hip Replacements'. I used to love watch the drills and saws let those bits go flying. Grisel is quite slippery on floors too.

Did you ever hear of a little Chinese doctor up Newcastle way who used to show off to his uni students by jumping up on the operating table and chainsawing the sternum of patients before heart operations? Had quite a popular little gig going according to the nursing sister who told me this story. Would jump up there like a rock guitarist to the roar of the crowd.

No. Sounds cool though! But he does remind me a bit of a Chinese dentist who had to jump upon me astrid-like to gain some sort of momentum to pull my wisdom teeth out. For the price she charged, I wouldn't have expected anything less of an effort.

Was it your skull they drilled? Would have needed super-long drill bits to get through the bone depth.

Reported!

Korrect.

In a sound-proofed room where you look around you as a patient and wonder where the hell is all this machinery that's supposed to be making this racket during your scheduled bone-drilling operation ..... and then the doctor enters the room ....

.... and you start screaming even before he crosses over to the table you're lying on ......

Not a problem.

The young Indian female doctor was brilliant. Talked me through the whole procedure with great professionalism and sensitivity.

Got off the table and caught a bus home. That easy. They gave me the option to suck on a hose with gas in it but I couldn't be bothered.

I had a few sneaky hits on the gas in the birthing room. Takes me back to my youth when we used to buy N2O cream bombs to get fkucedup on.

The Pizza girl delivered my pizza tonight.
She is kinda attractive and really nice.
But I just was nice back and took the pizza.
I think she likes me but is 20 something and doesn't understand that I'm nearly 50 and don't really have the balls to go down that path, let alone have the life to accommodate it.

I think I'll just ring Mrs Palmer tonight and stay out of trouble. Wink

You should have said you didn't have money for the pizza and offered an alternative payment method.

Thank you.

The pain wasn't nearly as bad as its reputation. I've had more than one kidney stone drama, and worst of all pains I once had a few hours attack of neuralgia in my left cheek years ago, and then there was the time I had gout in my big toe (ie crystals grinding against the nerve-endings) ... and so these little needle-pricks were very small potatoes indeed by comparison.

You're absolutely right Black Orchid.
Younger/good looking females are only interested in me for my money. Why else would they be interested in 'my age'.
I'm flattered at times, but just not interested - I have a daughter to dote upon, I don't need another.
I don't tip in Australia unless its into the Salvation Army bucket.

*sigh. Alas, I could never be like Dr Geoffrey Edelstein Tongue

Before I was married I remember having a conversation about women with bloke in his early 50s.

I was bragging, telling him I was at the best possible age to be a single man because I could realistically and successfully hit on women aged 18-50.
In your very early 20s women just a few years older than look too old and into your mid 30s you've got next to no chance with the 18s.

Anyhoo, he told me in succinct detail of the ages at when a man smiles at a cute 18 yo walking down the street, the reaction changes from a full smile being returned to a quick smile returned then pretending to look somewhere else, to looking away and to finally you being and obstetrical or an embuggerance she has to navigate around.

He said at 50, men are merely an embuggerance, unless of course there is plenty of cash or opportunity to throw into the mix.
