Att Kenny

[Dalene Steenkamp (Coetzee)]

Koekkemakranka  -  that's the only swearword I ever heard my grandma use  -  and I think it might be appropriate in your case, Chris!  Batteries going flat....  my goodness, I would not act the eveready bunny part if it were me ....  would be to damned scared that the 5 year guarantee does not last even 3 years.  Not scared to pass on  -  just the thought of having to go through an op like that every 5 years.  My dad, Big Dirk, eventually had 3 operations for valve replacements  -  the 3rd time he had to be taken back to theatre after 2 days to stop some or other leak.  His biggest complain after each op used to be how sore his breast-bone was and the effect of the long anestesia on his system. 

Sterkte, pal .....


Mike  -  have you been to the doctor yet?  ?  ?  

[Michele Alexander (Voden)]

 :36_2_24: Dalene - Mike has not been to the doctor! I made an appointment, without telling him of course, and only two hours before the appointment told him about it - of course he refused to go!

On the plus side he has been walking Shadow religiously and was very active with the girls this week-end! He reckons he also ate much healthier today at Spar and it was chicken burgers for supper tonight.

not major open heart surgery. ive been opened twice.... nobody told me that when you want to sneeze you must put arms across yr chest and hold tight, i sneezed and whole chest sternum split open again......... back to theatre and tied together inchest with stainless steel wire, hell very painfull thank g-d for morphine........ lekka stuff that... but can become addictive. to change pacemaker is done under local anaesthetic, u watch the procedure on a tv monitor and actually see the wires going across your chest and glooops..........gloooops into your heart,,,, anyone passing out or screaming yet??

Nope, not yet Chris. Must be all the horror movies I watched as a kid...lol  I've got a collection of blood and guts pictures and slideshows that I got from a friend in the SAP. They are very usefull in proving a point during safety meetings here at work.

[Diana Rudd (Boehme)]

I do, Boy Georg but alas no-body is taking me seriously.  I realy would like to know.

AS I WAS SAYING!!!!!!

[Carl Wrbka]

I think that's Kenny's cue...

[Diana Rudd (Boehme)]

    I think his getting a bit confused....thinks I'm asking if he has a heart condition.

[Rhona]

Kenny has a heart condition????

[Diana Rudd (Boehme)]

NO MAN        everybody else seems to have one.

[Rhona]

I don't.......

[Diana Rudd (Boehme)]

It seems to be mostly the guys, their pacemackers are shorting. Must be all us hot chicks on the forum.

I need to say that I'm not taking heart conditions lightly by posting this.   I lost my Dad to a heart attack.

[Michele Alexander (Voden)]

Perhaps you should rephrase that to hot pole-dancing chicks!
