Beached
Starting today, this blog is going on hiatus until about mid-May. I'm presently under tow to the shipyard for heavy repairs. There the shipwrights will winch me onto the beach for a careening to scrape off rust and torch out corrosion from the keel. Once that's done, they'll replate, reweld, rerivet and relaunch.
Then I ought to be good for a few more voyages as well as further abuse of nautical metaphors.

Hemorrhoid surgery?
ReplyDeleteNot even close. Kindly do not cast asspersions.
ReplyDeleteKnee replacement?
ReplyDeleteNope. Not just yet.
ReplyDeleteBreast enlargement?
ReplyDeleteOn the keel? Keels don't got breasts.
ReplyDeleteHip resurfacing?
ReplyDeleteThink a little higher. You've read some of my blogposts complaining about a bad back?
ReplyDeleteSpinal fusion? That's nasty stuff.

Bingo! You win the grand prize, Barry/Anonymous! Now to figure out what that prize might be.
ReplyDeleteYou're not going to give us a full account of the surgery, are you? Please don't!
ReplyDeleteMy dad had that and never was sure it helped. Be sure you've got: 1) an excellent surgeon; 2) a reliable source (not the surgeon) of strong painkillers; and 3) a great physical therapist. Don't wait until post-surgery to line up #s 2&3.
ReplyDeleteGood luck; we'll be watching for recovery reports.

Spreading cheer, eh, Barry?
ReplyDeleteJust some hard-earned advice. Ortho surgeons have little patience with post-op pain and therapy, leaving patients to fend as they can. Henry needs to know that in advance.
ReplyDeleteHoping my advice isn't needed...
