    This is why we say that the medical industry "practices" medicine.
    Tell me about it. If we made as many F**k ups they would put us out of business.

    This is extremely dangerous (as you already know). My son had a collar bone break, pinned, and infected. It was treated as an ordinary infection for a month or two. When it flared up while he was on Air Force reserve duty, the military doctors diagnosed it as osteomyelitis and they removed some of the diseased bone and started a very aggressive antibiotic treatment. He took the medicine through a picc line for a couple of months. This worked for him andI hope that your doctors don't dally around with this.

    Sup Gruppys. This heat wave is stirring up some work. Today alone I finished a furnace and AC retrofit with a low boy to high boy conversion and chimney liner to boot. Then had to come home and put in a window shaker to stop the girlfriend from....complaining.

    Now all the old guys in the building who watched me do it from their sitting spot are asking me when I can do theirs (they all have seen me come home in the service truck before). Maybe it's time to fix the Windstar slap a ladder rack on it and design a pretty logo? LOL nah not for a few more years. Need to get better at being gruppy first LOL. It's all starting to make sense. I'm finding I'm quicker at solving problems now. Like modifying a window shaker mounting kit so that it actually holds the unit and doesn't want to drop it lol (it was on sale at Canadian Tire-just ask Doug what that means).

    Never did get to go back to the mystery walk in. Apparently it's working the way the customer wants now. Maybe he put vegetables back in it lol.
