It's True, Seriously ...
Easy way to get a day off from work to watch "March Madness":

Tomorrow morning, 8AM. It's true, it's true. I'll be on the couch with my frozen peas by the 11:10AM tipoff.

I'll admit, it was a coincidence considering I made the appointment in January.

How long before it's safe to get back on the elliptical? (I'll ask that tomorrow morning.)

Part of my routine has been to do about 45 minutes on an elliptical trainer daily. And the answer is: At least 10 days. My first baseball game is 12 days from now.

Some doctors are even offering a free pizza. Make sure you pick the right doc!

I picked the one who caused me no pain or discomfort this morning.

I'm on the basement sofa with frozen peas, my computer, codeine/tylenol, a 65" TV, and games starting in 40 minutes.

If that doesn't describe "heaven", I don't know what does.

There were only two things that bothered me during my procedure - one was the smell of my own flesh burning, and the other was the nurse giggling while she assisted the doctor underneath my gown...

One moment of irony. Nurse tells me she'll step out while I put the gown on.
Professional modesty at its best. Five minutes later, she's putting betadine on "the area" with, ummm, vigor.

Oh, I also have an intercom to ask for stuff from the wife. Heaven, indeed.

Maybe this particular portion of your ordeal is heaven indeed, but all of it.........?

Not sure I want to go there to go to heaven......

You are now the official target of jealousy of many American men this weekend.

Only on this forum can "Christmas morning", "NCAA Tournament", and "vasectomies" seem so naturally linked.
