Yeah, you're right Raven - feets up does the trick. The swelling has gone down somewhat but I've had to work on my feet today so I guess it's a wash.

Anyway, it ain't broken - that's the good news, possibly missing the start of the season had me bummin' -

I take a lot of vitamins anyway - sorta like puttin' Slick 50 into an old car with 200K on it - man, I had no idea I was gonna live this long. I had an old Italian friend who used to say "Penze la salut" every time we'd hoist a drink - it means "think of your health' - he was a very wise man. So I'm just gonna do that and maybe continue to hang out on the rocks like another friend who still does at 82 (!)

Anyway, from all indications, I'm gonna live, it was no big deal.

The nurse told me my BP was 128/72 - I said "Not bad for an old guy' and she said "Hell, that'd be good for a young guy. Gonna get all the other old phart tests done too tomorrow while I'm at it. The 200 K checkup, ya know.

Christ, speakin' of old pharts - hey John, let's move this to the GOP forum - it's way past front page news.

Anyway, thanks, everybody - see ya on the rocks soon - or over in the GOP, maybe - I'll be the guy with the Medic Alert taped to his necklight.

"There is no royal road to this heavy surf-fishing. With all the appliances for comfort experience can suggest, there is a certain amount of hard work to be done and exposure to be bourne as a part of the price of success." From "Striped Bass," Scribner's Magazine, 1881.
