Yup! As of Yesterday, I am now officially an "Old ---- , make that, "Senior Executive Vice President of Bio Gas Technology".
I had to get over to the Captain James Lovell Federal Health Center, at Great Lakes, Il. , for treatment ...It's gout
So --- now armed with some prescribed Medrol, and Voltaren, I'm no longer in pain, and the right foot is returning to the proper size, as the swelling subsides. I actually got a full night's sleep last night.

The doctor asked if I had "kicked the dog", and I replied "yeah, and he'll think twice about biting me again"

Geeze!! Glad to hear youre getting better! LOL about kicking the dog.. Some of us at work say:

Oh - It's KISS the Wife and KICK the dog??? So that's why I keep getting into trouble!!

I'd suspect that with the background and training you have, this would be a cakewalk for you,

Ah yes - - The white sock over the "air cast". And - - it's the same foot !!
The hard part was joining friends for bowling, and neither bowling, or drinking, all night !
All I can say about that is, )&*^%&$%#$#&^%&&^(*&)(*_)()**^&%%#@@#$#$^%*(*&)*__)(, and I mean it!
This too, shall pass.
Hey ! That's a good name for a geological feature to build a bridge over - - - Thistushal Pass !

Oh , Oh yes I did !!

Any chance that what you did back then to your foot is related to your current problems... with that foot that is? :o

And don't talk to me about not being able to drink anymore. I could hold my own until these past few years when I find that diabetes keeps my metabolism so screwed up that two cans of NA beer can give me a buzz. Yup, I now take my beer money and give it to the pharmacist so he can go out and have a good time. :cry: :cry:

The damage I did then was to the "connective tissues" in the ankle, and a spiral fracture to the fibula. I think the "chances" were more related to growing older.

Ahh sweet old age. I guess we all grow older in our own way, but we all get there one way or the other.
