Southernap 1 Posted March 19, 2007 Hope to see you when I get back USAFMTL. I am leaving myself in about 5 hours to get on a big white bird and fly east to my ship. Can't wait small beds, bad food, people that don't care. Hey wait do you want to trade, at least I will be able to complain to the WaPo about the sorry state of affairs at the medical center.

+Zurawski 33 Posted March 19, 2007 Hmm... Ol' USAFMTLs been putting the screws to us for months... I'd say turnabout is fair play! I can see'm post surgery now... "Honey... please fluff my pillows"... "Honey... please rub my butt cheeks, they're sore"... "Can you lift that beer to my mouth, I'm parched"... Then when he's up and at'm... he'll be parading his scars around like some badge of honor. "Yup... got this here scar when I blew my back out lifting an ordinance loader off some newbie... didn't notice if had a couple 2000lbs'rs on it until I got it over my shoulders"...

+Dave 2,319 Posted March 20, 2007 Well I am home with 4 not 2 screws in my back. I have never felt such pain before. Whats worse is that have to fend for myself over the next few days since the wife can only be here during the day. I can walk no problem but getting up and out of chairs and bed is a whole other story. But I a fine hope you are all too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
