Shower thoughts this morning:

5 years from now Cap'n Bill of Legal Bill Fishing charters will be telling folks
" t'was back in '19, We'd been tuna fishing out off Stellwagon when we hooked up a juvenile swordfish.
Of course when I bent over to pull the hook and let it free, it slashed around and got me with it's bill.
Lucky for me, I had an EMT on board who stitched me up with fishing line until we got back in..."

Now you need a tattoo of a ZIPPER over it!.

Maybe a note too saying - "They checked.....found nothing!"

Now how are you going to use that scare at halloween? Don't tell me you are going to show it off for two hours!
I'm expecting it to heal up and disappear after six months or so like it did the last time they cut behind my ear. Although that incision was a good bit smaller and didn't extend above the ear like this version.

My real hope is that I never have to have this done again.

Jim, I sometimes wish I had them put a zipper in when I had it done the first time.

I'm at the office right now. The commute was a bit more effort than I expected. I'll be leaving early for sure. I hope to have a bit more energy each day, but the healing process is still taking a lot out of me.

Well, the next time someone says, "Yeah, I need that like a hole in the head...…" Good to hear you are doing better, please be careful not to overdo it.

Don't overdo! Maybe every other day for a bit?

OK I know I give you a lot of crap but seriously how are doing?
it's been ten days or so, so the bone pain should be gone.
