OT Trees ... the "down" side

When very large limbs blow off very old trees and fall across fences and
block roads

and the wind still howls, threatening more will fall on anyone trying to
move them

and the rain slashes in the gale, making cutting up the fallen branches

a cold and nasty endeavor


This is a time when trees are a bit harder to appreciate

but

I still do

..... 'cause I like to breathe

I used to love "duck hunting weather" beyond all other types and still do
find high winds and storms exciting. Working is such conditions has never
had the appeal of playing in them, however.



I've never liked hospitals and being ill or injured, however ( doh)
.... so your point is easy to grasp G





You take care of yourself, buddy

Well, they did my surgery with an epidural. Worked great, until they
moved me into my bed on the ward. At that point, the epidural needle
moved, stopped blocking the pain in my abdomen and did a great job of
turning my right leg into a useless lump of clay. Now my abdomen said
I had a new 6" hole in in with nothing to block the pain for about 3+
hours. I thought I was screaming my lungs out, though I was later
told I was just moaning.
To take my mind off the pain, the nurse, with my wife and daughter in
attendence, started talking to me about how cute I was, how we were
going to blow this popsicle stand for Bermuda. Evidently, this went
on for hours till the heavy duty narcotics were finally pumped into my
IV (the whole point of the epidural was to avoid the narcotics which
tend to shut down the bowel). I responded and chatted with her,
complaining that my wife would track us down and kill us very slowly,
but what the hell, lets take a shot.
I remember little of this. The nurse was my night nurse later when I
was more lucid, in her early thirties with some nice curves, but
otherwise fairly plain.
My wife chatted with her, smiling the next night. They talked about
when I was going to be able to take her up on the offer. I lay there
dumbfounded.
What she had done was do whatever she could to take my mind off the
pain and give me something else to focus on. She wasn't the hotest,
probably wasn't the most senior, but she had used some great skills to
take care of some middle aged guy and take his mind of some pretty
intense pain.
Yes, I had some much hotter nurses taking care of me during my stay,
but I'll remember her the most. At least she's the one my bride will
remind me of for the rest of our lives.

It's a sign Frank, our next fishing trip needs to involve sand, beaches, and
bonefish. We'll even invite the nurse or see if the restaurant owner in
Alton has a sister cooking steaks in the tropics.
