Yup - that’s about the size of it.
My biggest fear was a tumor in the pituitary gland, it’s in a small space in your skull pretty much straight back from the bridge of your nose. The optic nerve shares that small space and a tumor would start to push on the nerve and cause vision loss. The surgery to remove a tumor there is pretty invasive and unpleasant.

Yes, I remember the NFL were unknowing participants.That article reminds me of the expose' of the United Way back in the '80s.

It was found that their administrative expenses were about 85% of their income...
Good point, but Medicare is a bureau of the government and cuts every provider off at the ankles.Hard to see anyone doing it more efficiently though. I wonder what the proportion is for medicare?
You was robbed !....
thats a damn good Health Care system you have there in Canada. if it was'nt so bloody cold I'd have considered emigrating when I was younger lol
Hows your recovery going ? can you walk and climb stairs without pain now ?
Recovery is going very well aside from a bit of numbness and swelling. I can walk, climb stairs, drive, ride and sleep - so all good!

Hi Pete,
those are all good things but have you dared to kickstart a bike yet?
Just because you have electric start doesn't mean you have to use it.Sadly, no

Interesting expose' on the generic drug industry on 60 Minutes, tonight. But I found this in the Saturday Evening Post (sorry for it's condition) and noone wants to even think about this subject. This argument is an exerpt from a book written by a consulting gastroenterologist at Cork University, Ireland. Dr. Seamus O'Mahoney th argues the point that we are living too long for various reasons. I felt guilty after reading it...

... still be kickin' and screamin' ...
what a crazy concept....we are living too long ?
Thats the excuse that the Government use to explain the current crisis in the National Health Service . The real reason is prolific immigration and lack of investment for the past decade.
82 years young Fred and still riding......... thats an inspiration to all of us . I hope I'm still around at 82 let alone riding my bike .
Fred, you are living proof that age is a state of mind. You go, guy!Hi GB,
If the bike rallies I plan to attend this summer don't kill me off beforehand I'll be 82 years old come August 21st
and I hope to still be kickin' and screamin' into my 90s. And I feel no guilt whatsoever.
What I reckon is, ol' Doc O'Mahoney's trade must have given him a shitty outlook on life.
If that is you in the last photo GB, I’d say you look pretty danged good...
....but perhaps you should consider a name-change.
I agree that there are too many people, but the problem is procreation instead of immigration. And is also a cause of climate change.what a crazy concept....we are living too long ?
