Wow. That does sound scary Hugh. Glad you are still with us Bro.
With such an interesting working life, I think lots of us are just waiting to see how much fun your retirement will be.

Cheers Richard

"Rest easy" sounds like RIP....

You might say, "At ease," and that might get some kind of reactive response...but "rest easy."

Step father had long time arrhythmia with procedures and was rather stable until 'helped' by modern medicine doctor and modern drugs from a major hospital.
-Prescriptions turned into 10-15 different drugs, each to counteract the side effects of the previous.
-He passing out repeatedly from the cocktails with repeated falls and huge lumps on his head.
-(still no change in prescription or closer hourly/daily care that I was aware of)
-Needless to say his kidneys finally almost shut down completely, meanwhile his 'prime time' doc was 'less than adequate' responsive.
-The next doc took him off almost everything but the essentials, and his color and health returned for a while but he was trashed at that point.
-He lived a while longer but that criminal over-medication took several good years off his time on this side, IMO.

I heard marines are just too damn stubborn to die.
So get that extended blink in, and get yourself ready for training recruits.

Thank you David Targa 811S!

David and I share a rare thing here. He and I came close to dying. He sent me a dozen or so really nice Churchill cigars for medicinal purposes.
