The two ladies who run the catheter lab are master plumbers, imo.

The only gripe was she has Bose speaks. j/k. It took about hour to thread the line in while I listened to the Moody Blues.

Neat trick.
Here's to a speedy recovery, my good man! I had some gloriously attractive young nurses, myself. In particular a young, blue eyed Belarusian woman named Tatianna and a petite Nigerian by the name of Chiggame', pronounced Chig-uh-may. (It means "Gods Will").

I had knee surgery last October and I've had Covid-19 and a TIA stroke since then. I have been told I must lose weight and improve cardiovascular conditions so, I have returned to cycling after a decade long hiatus. However, a week ago I pushed myself too hard and ended up in a world of pain for several days. I'm not 25 anymore, that's for sure and 17 miles just over an hour proved to be crippling.

(For reference, I checked my old log and my best time ever was in 1998. A 40 mile course in 1hour, 59 minutes......)
