What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?

Hey there Rock. How are we feeling so far today?
Feeling better. Still quite sore and swollen, but I didn't want to burn anymore sick days... so... I'm at work. We will see how it goes.
 
At work today so I can take Wednesday off. I'm basically not allowed to work tomorrow, so looking forward to a change of pace this week. Also praying for a peaceful shift.
Prayers sent my friend

Take it easy man. Hopefully this is as sick as you're going to be for a while.
 
Good morning everyone.

Kev, I'm not exactly a fan of black and gold but I sure do like power wagons.
Good morning Tom, ditto! I live about an hour from both Pittsburgh and Cleveland. Unfortunately a lot of black and gold in my town.

Any word from pathology?

Glad you are feeling better! Take it easy and don't over do it!
 
Any word from pathology?
Not yet sir. I have a follow up tomorrow morning, well, I scheduled a follow up sooner than they had one setup. I am concerned about the hematoma. It's about the size of a lemon cut in half length wise and quite firm. I can palpate it, but it is very painful. I just don't want the hematoma to not absorb and I end up with an infection.

Too late my dear. Don't you know that nurses and physicians make the worse patients!

Or sepsis! Can you have one of the doctors there take a peak while you’re working?

I grew up outside Cleveland and used to drive to Pittsburg two or three times a year to a Kroger warehouse to buy out-of-service cash registers, refurbish them and rent them out in Northeast Ohio.

When I was in customer service my territory was from the Flats in Cleveland, OH to Syracuse, NY and as far south as Orrville. Put a lot of miles on a car.

In my younger years I had some great times in the flats! Before moving to Ohio we lived just outside Syracuse in Fayetteville.

I had one of them look at it, they said I should have the surgeon look at...
There is no erythema, the peri wound is normal and there is no streaking. It's just edematous with that hematoma.
