Well Mr. Catfish........This is surely a humorous tale, and funnier still because it is quite believable. Now I know where the expression "boys will be boys" comes from. And as you have shown, it is also true that "men will be men." Good writing. Keep the stories coming!
Joanna from Dallas - thanks for your comments. I'm wondering how to get a story moved over from the obscure pages of searchwarp and onto the homepage where it can be featured. The editors apparently enjoyed the story by rating it four and one half stars. I noticed that some other new authors (and new stories) were not rated anywhere near that high. Thank you again for your comments. Sincerely, Catfish Charlie
Patience, Catfish, patience. I'm glad you followed my advice and posted on searchwarp. I'm a sucker for reading anything concerning your theme about growing older. Welcome to Searchwarp. Dave Potchak
Yeah, this should be on the front page. It speaks for all us old guys. This one gave me some good laughs. from Bob in Ohio
Well, Catfish, you had me laughing out loud. Welcome to SearchWarp.
Lorrie, thanks for the welcome. Jean and Bruce, thanks for joining my fan club. Joanna and Bob, thank you for your kind comments. Bob, you are right, life passes way too quickly. We are better off if we laugh our way through it. Dave, thanks for the tip about posting on Searchwarp.
Great Story - now for the 'other side'. I was the nurse that post-cath patients would see for the next 6-8 hours -- the one who would take a peek to make sure nothing wrong is happening. Yes, we would peek every 15 minutes for the first hour, then every 30 minutes for the next 2 hours, then hourly until the patients were allowed to get up. It was not always a pleasant job, there were those patients who would *insist* they were feeling fine, and move - then the bleeding would start, then we would have to apply lots of pressure - usually with both hands and all our body weight on top of the patients -- that happens more than we would like -- so my message is PLEASE, just this once, listen to the doctors and nurses when they say DON'T MOVE -- and remember that when we are peeking - we don't look anywhere besides the operative area -- well, there was that one man.... oh, back to story, that artery is about the size of your thumb and that takes a long time to close well.... Ok, enough of the lecture... Smile - it is the way to enjoy each day!
Love the pic and the tale! You tell a great story. I laughed at your moving experience. I would disagree with you about one thing, though. At 57, you're not an old geezer and this tale proves it! *giggle*

Avis and Susan - thank you for your kind comments. I thank my mom for the ability and willingness to laugh at myself, and I thank my family for putting up with me all these years. Avis is aware of my alias, but I'm keeping that on the QT for now. Thanks again, I enjoy both of you as SW authors too. Catfish Charlie
