Damn! I drew my knees together just imagining that!

Actually, my experience with the stent removal was <ultimately> a relief because having it "indwelling" up my flank was not fun.

And the actual extraction was more "unusual" feeling than painful overall, and although I joked about it, I was very grateful to get it over and done with.

The stent itself was long and skinny, iirc, there was a little curl on the far end kinda like a pig's tail, nothing HUGE though, thank goodness. I was told it had been inserted to help my ureter stay open and not scar closed when healing from the endoscopic procedures I underwent.

Yeah, as a Urologist I manage that stuff routinely. My med school roommate would have gone into the same specialty but the catheters freaked him out.
So he went into GI Instead…
 
I've discovered a side benefit to Nathan's "crazy-flipper-fingers" knife sales. I'm visiting Disney with family, and the Star Wars "Rise of the Resistance" ride is so popular that they cannot accommodate everyone who wants to go. So they have set up a virtual queue that you have to get into via your phone at exactly 7:00 AM. They only take the first so many clickers and the slots are gone within seconds (boot dagger, anyone?), and then depending on circumstances they **may** open the queue again at 1 PM . Most don't make it. Everyone in my group tried. Only Yours Truly got in - and in an early Boarding Group 6. I was synced to the NIST clock and while everyone else was refreshing over and over, I just hit the button one time when NIST said it was exactly 7:00:00. Fast fingers. And I can bring everyone in my group with me. All those Carothers knife sales finally paid off!!!

It was a much better ride before they trimmed down the interaction due to plague😔
 
Stitches out just a little while ago...but there are no weights to be lifted and no firearms for a minimum of a month or two :(...


...So, the drinking lamp is lit. 🥳

(Well, no strong side firearms. Nobody ever said I couldn't have a J frame in my support side pocket.)

I had never heard of this type of fish till today and I'm friggin getting to be old! Sheephead fish, apparently quite a common marine species on the east coast from Cape Cod to the Gulf including the Carolinas. Look at those chompers, eek! Believe it or not, this fella has a decent looking set; some of them though can look downright whack!

Anything is possible. I don't even know what I identify as anymore.

Back in the early 80's I came across an older gentleman who was assaulting government employees outside of their offices in lower Manhattan. My partner and I were dispatched to his residence, and not wanting to arrest the obviously disturbed individual, we interviewed him about what his issues were.

Apparently, the IRS and CIA in concert with other beings, terrestrial or extraterrestrial, were causing loud hammering in his walls at night, and when he'd shop, the items he wanted were either out of stock or the prices would be raised before he got to the checkout.

We commiserated with his plight and promised to use the power vested in us to call off those ne'er-do-wells and told him to protect himself with a layer of foil inside of his head wear in the meantime. He was so grateful he cried...and promised to follow our advice.

It lasted about two to three years...and then he was back to his old tricks.

I hope it's not you finally running me to ground! 🤣

As to the posts just above, how could any sane person think otherwise?

I shall off with myself to stand in a corner.
