I took a snap of the Doc's nurse.

We might be in trouble...

Does this mean we don't pay the ransom when he throws the sink out the window?  :roll:

Unh, I don't know.  Notice the diabolical look in her eyes. I betcha she's got her finger on the button that administers poison ivy juice to the patient.  Don't trust her for a minute, Dr. G!

Thanks everyone , I'm back at home.

I was lucky to escape with what injuries I got as although it was a low speed crash I was completely blind-sided by a car that had been stationary when I saw it but then accelerated straight across the road as I looked away hitting me on the right, I was changing into 2nd,50 feet from my house. I have some screws in my right ankle and fortunately no skin-graft.

I'm not bitter , I'm happy to be home, grateful for my good fortune and know well that I could easily have been significantly worse off, life is good and I'm part of it.

 
Few understand what I'm trying to do but they vastly outnumber those who understand why...................

Welcome home, Doc, and a speedy recovery to you.  My mother-in-law calls scooters "donor-cycles" - we're all glad it didn't get that far.

Take your time and heal up, no tap dancin' for the short term.

Hey Doc, glad you're home and on the mend.

You'll probably have to stay off the VB for a while but the stuff the other Doctor will get you is far better.

You forget that we are a whole nation of transported vices.

Whatever we send on is then the Alcatraz of vices.

As the Colonel said, NOBODY drinks Fosters here, (except tourists).

Speaking of which... I'm gonna be in Utah in January... any events on I should check out?
