OT - NO POLITICS Happy Holidays Edition

Happy vacation to me.... currently in the ER due to chest pain. They don't think it's the heart but doing all the testing. May be reflux or stomach related

Hope it isn’t anything serious! Sending good vibes your way.

Wow!

Take care.

Thanks y'all. Back home now. They did several tests. Diagnosis is GERD/reflux.

He said I am actually blessed with fantastic heart genes. He literally said I could consume as much cholesterol as I want and it wouldn't make a dent. There is "not a speck present." So that's good at least.

The release notes said to stay off work for 3 days. Never heard of that for GERD. Guess it's a good thing I'm on vacation lol.

Also: the fireman may have been good looking, but his IV starting skills need a little work. The EMT ended up using the other arm.

I'm glad you are okay - that arm is a mess though! I have had some "butchers" in my time, but that is so bad. Take it easy and rest up!

Brush with greatness volume 3 or something:

Charlie McAvoy was in this morning. I said hello, and told him I enjoyed meeting his father, Charles Sr. a few months ago, and that when speaking to him, I didn't know who he was.. Mason Lohrei's dad, David, came in and he will be in tomorrow. Another very nice gentleman whom I met a few months ago, without knowing who *he* was.. Charlie Coyle, his smoking wife and cute daughter; said hello to them... young Master Koepke, whom I did not bother...

For all who celebrate got my aluminum pole up. Definitely ready for the airing of grievances

What’s the greatest holiday gift you’ve ever received?

My brothers and I got an Atari 2600 for Christmas 1981. Primitive by today’s standards but we were stoked and played it for hours. I’m a bit of a video game nerd and getting that for Christmas set me onto that path.

Wife got this for me about 6-7 years ago. Still play it just about every day…

The greatest Christmas gift I ever got was Billy Blastoff when I was 6 years old. A few years ago my sister tracked one down on eBay along with some of the accessories and gave it to me for Christmas. Still the best Christmas gift evah!!!

I wanted to paint but didn’t feel like setting everything up so I drew and painted this using the procreate studio app on my iPad
