Chin up,Tango-can-I-call-you-Bob. My mate Attilio [yeah I know-it's Sicilian for 'Arthur'] just two weeks ago had open heart surgery. he had the same thing,two stents,plus a vein taken from his legs to bypass something-or-other. It involved sawing through his sternum,etc. BUT.....yesterday,Attilio and me went for a [admittedly slow] stroll around his village,then I drove him and his missus into town so they could go to Tesco. [Again,I must admit,slow 'n' steady,no skipping or prancing] But it's a mere two weeks to the day that he had the op,mate! So,big grins all round,Tango mIcyB....it beats the alternative hands down,bro! Right;seeing as we are both INCREDIBLY butch;consider yourself man-hugged. http://i42.tinypic.com/2ngefih.gif
