That's an amazing co-incidence - I met up with Marty yesterday and while we were having a beer after visiting a Flea Market - of which more later - that very quote came up in conversation even though the old bastard knows nothing about football. I think he was calling it kick-ball but my hearing's not too good.Hard to follow that Martin @dodgy, suffice to say Godspeed in your recovery.
Kinda reminds me of a famous George Best quote:
"I spent a lot of money on booze, birds and fast cars. The rest I just squandered."
Good luck man...
Woah! And your still alive to tell those tales! That is impressive Marty. Sounds like you are on the mend and have survived more than the majority. Quitting the dope I have heard is hard but all psychological so manageable. Good luck for the future. The image of your guys spilling out whilst driving.... Crazy!Hiya,
Well, after quite a while of being under the weather with various problems my days have gotten considerably better. Yeah, finally up and about with hopefully the worst behind me.
Just a quick list of things that were getting me down, starting last November:
Had a bunch of serious COPD related emergencies which landed me in the hospital every few weeks maybe 5 times total. Got acute bronchitis from cigarette smoking for almost 50 years. Stopped those over three years ago and heh, finally recently even stopped smoking dope daily which helped an amazing amount. Hadda quit altogether which is a sad thing but the alternative is worse. Sheesh, one hospital visit I busted two ribs from coughing so badly. Haven't been hospitalized for that breathing problem since December.
Then had a few operations in January. One was for cancer, and a kidney and ureter was removed but that was all with no other organs affected thank God. At the same time I had my prostate reduced in size which according to my Urologist was the size of a watermelon. The guy had a hell of a sense of humor but that operation left me with a 6 inch incision being stapled shut from my navel down to my schwanzenstiker. Worst part was when the staples were removed 10 days later. Turned out I hadn't healed up and my guts ended up spilling out into my underwear that same day on the drive home from the doc's office. Emergency surgery followed but now that's all fixed up. Can now piss better than ever and got to keep my prostate as a bonus! Still, seeing my entrails outside my body was kinda unpleasant.....
Also busted my left food after landing wrong trying to jump up through a window. That's healed up by now.
Last couple weeks I have been feeling lots better and hopefully nothing else with be going south anytime soon. Got my appetite back and my attitude's lots better than it has been in months.
Sheesh, it's a bitch being an old geezer who abused himself in multiple ways most of his life. Makes me appreciate things more when things are right.
Martin
I probably shouldn't ask, but I can't help it - why did you jump out of a window?
Visions of the husband coming home early and the need for a quick exit come to mind..
I've heard of 'out of body' experiences but not 'insides of body out of body' experiences.
Take care, auld yin.
ThanksWatched my Nan suffer that for years, Sean ........ Wouldn't wish it on anyone ....... Hope that clears up soon, mate......
Here's hoping @dodgy has a full and lasting recovery too
