OK. But what were the female nurses like?

Leave the nurses alone.

On second thought, if they're slow enough for you to catch, they're probably too old to fool around anyway. ;)

Glad to hear, Mark!

Give yourself time to heal Mark. If I recall correctly from my father's experience the first few months were very difficult, and the progress was slow, but he's made it all the way back.

Glad you're back on the board and feeling well enough to post! God bless.

By the way, the nurses are not all that impressed with the old "want to see my scar" line, you'll need better than that to get in the game.

I was gonna say, Billy's request that they be single is moot, for the very reason you mention.

Glad to hear you're mending!

Good to hear from you Mark, glad the surgery went well, and praying for your full recovery.

Rich Mon Jun 18, 2012 12:50pm
Give it time. You may come back, you may not. Most importantly, though, life will go on. And so will you, one way or another. You still have lots to give, even if it doesn't involve a whistle and running up and down a basketball floor.

Don't be a stranger.

Mark, sorry about your circumstances. I am praying for you to have a complete and quick recovery.

I'm still waiting to find out if it was a bovine valve, or a swine valve. I'm preparing jokes for either, but I would like to start concentrating on one. Hope it's a swine valve. Lots of jokes available about a swine valve: kosher, pigs flying, etc. A bovine valve could also be interesting with jokes about free milk.

I finally got my computer installed by my son who, along with my other kids, has been incredible. Unfortunately, the connection is rather poor at this place so I won't be on the net too much.

Right now it looks doubtful that I'll be returning to officiating but I may be able to help out doing evals and maybe a little training.
Mark, glad to see you back. Please keep in touch. How else will I add to my list of one-liners?

OK - it was a swine valve. Let the jokes begin. BTW - my rabbi said it was OK since I didn't eat any of the swine, but it was just inserted to save my life.

I'm actually kind of disappointed. I was hoping to go in a, "My family doesn't enjoy the mooing, but they do like the free milk", direction.

I once got a bovine bone graft after having a tooth pulled. The Red Cross let me donate blood right away. The next time that I got a tooth pulled, I got a human bone graft. The Red Cross made me wait a year before donating blood. I guess that the Red Cross never heard of "Mad Cow Disease"?

Keep getting better Mark Padgett.

Mark,

I haven't been on the board in a while -been way too busy, so this is the first I heard of your situation. Glad you made it through the surgery OK - hope your recovery continues!
