Concrete Bob news

Tea Party 058

In case you haven’t heard (I found out from Uncle Jimbo at Blackfive), Concrete Bob, one of our best buddies (he’s been known to drive me home in varying stages of consciousness) was in the hospital the other night and scheduled to go back next week for some minor adjustments. Keep him in your thoughts this weekend.

No, Bob, it’s not just because of the barbecue sauce. Rock on, buddy.

Tankerbabe is calling the family every two minutes to check on him and she’s says he’s resting – but I can’t imagine it.

Get well soon CB.

You are needed.

I am NOT calling every 2 minutes – it’s every 2 HOURS. But that’s no different than our “normal” phone schedule.

So…since I haven’t talked to him in an hour (LOL) did they release him? That would be a real bummer. He had such plans for roaming the hallways of the hospital with the back of his gown flapping in the wind.

And he really WAS resting. I think they were watching All My Children or Jerry Springer. 🙂

Damn,

Best of luck CB. I’ll light another candle here today.

Bob, I know you’ll listen to all the doctors orders, terrorize the nurses, and break outa da joint as soon as possible. Get re-adjusted real soon bro … !!!

Get well Bob. We need you. Take care of that ticker!

Get well soon Bob. Don’t forget the new studies that show alcohol intake decreases the risk of heart disease. Speaking of which I should hit the package store and stock up on my favorite heart medicine.

Thoughts and best wishes are with you, CB.

thanks guys. I’m still in the hospital, cause the docs know better than to let me go. They tell me its to let my heart heal, so they can go back in and fix it right. (5X bypass on Wednesday.) However, I do allow my heart to be broken as often as possible, though. ifyouknowwhatimean 😉

My only hope is that they do the surgery via your rectal orifice.

If nothing else it’ll allow some of us to grin.

Take care dude. 5x bypass? I wanna know what you did wrong?

Bob…just don’t let them put any squid pieces parts in ya…you might start to think that TSO got a purty mouth and junk…just sayin…get well Bob! Semper Fi

A Heros Friend,

Squid pieces, eh? Did I ever tell you why the Navy wears 13 button fly-front bell bottoms? 😉

A Heros Friend

AW1 Tim…I was always curious as to the reasoning for the Navy dudes wearing their trousers backwards…:)

AW1 Tim

It was so the Marines could have a tablecloth with their lunch… 🙂

A Heros Friend

Who said you guys ain’t romantical? Actually I had an old timer MGYSGT splain to me that the 13 buttons was something that the Navy would use to help ya’ll out when returning from shoreleave…each button represented important things you needed in order to come aboard ship…the first ten were for all 10 of your fingers(theys important)2 buttons were to remind you to see if your 2 buddies were still with ya, and the final(13th)button was to remind you to see the corpsman and get your pennicillan shot…”just in case”…

AW1 Tim

Bwahahaha… yup… prolly a lot of truth in that.. 🙂

My dad was a Corpsman. Drawback was he always thought he should determine whether we were sick/hurt enough to see a real doctor. Heh…

I’m glad to hear that your doing ok, Bob, listen to the doctors and take it easy. Let them re-route the blood plumbing so you can get back to flipping burnt animal flesh for the troops!!! Better yet, let us come and flip some chicken breasts for you and your family!! You deserve a break.

BTW…Don’t let them tell you it’s a “rectal thermometer”.

Hey Bob, a word of advice … I’ve had five heart procedures and three heart attacks. When you meet the doctor just before your procedure do NOT … I repeat … do NOT tell him that you thought it was time for you to buy him a new BMW. I made that mistake and had my third attack while on the operating table and received no sympathy from Doc!!!
