Thank you all for the kind thoughts and prayers... while I'm not out of the woods, I am out of the hospital -perhaps the longest 3 weeks of my life! Hopefully I will be back in the saddle on MJ tomorrow.


Ocklaservations?

Why is the hospital food decent the first 3 days then like a cafe from hell the rest of your stay?

This mornings fare was some kind of little half round patties which looked like burnt toast. The small yellow splotches in their centers gave away their poultry origins... "sliced brittle cheese eggs with a serious case of erectile dysfunction. served over a bed of CRUNCHY grits... with a side of lumpy cream of wheat."

At long last, I have learned where the Army cooks go when they leave the military.

Future military enemy's and terrorists should immediately adopt a policy of severeist punishment for any soldier who brings injury to an American hospital cook.

Plastic mattresses and covers designed and STUFFED by the Wooten Fiber Works materials division at the Sunbeam Road Prison work training facility.

COJ Parking meters alongside the toliets? Talk about the long-brown mile?

A total ban on iced tea in the corridors but tea and coffee makers in the cafe's AND patient lounges, therapy,
PT, ortho and other spaces... no such ban on coffee! Reasons? TEA ATTRACTS ANTS! (apparently only in hallways mind you)

Nurses named Sally, Gretta and Alice are fine to an extreme, I didn't feel any of the 2,405,251 shots they gave me.

Ever notice that x-ray machines mounted on the ceiling and huge files mounted on the floors are BOTH types of rail transit.

Jacksonville's progressiveness, mass transit, football successes, downtown plan and scenic wonders are directly proportionate to the amount of opiate flowing in ones bloodstream.


Wow, and I came home to a beautiful little silver flask sent to me gratis by the good people of REBEL YELL along with a membership certificate in the "Band of Rebels." Wonder if it's legal to carry iced tea in it?

The green ball is up - open the throttle, Ock.

Welcome back to the outside world Ock! Hope you get better real real soon! Two and a half jiggers of "Rebel Yell" will kill most of the germs in the world, guess you have been dealing with the other half? Slow and easy till you get your feet back under you big guy!

 :D  Great to read that post Ock!  Welcome back! :)
In a boat at sea one of the men began to bore a hole in the bottom of the boat. On being remonstrating with, he answered, "I am only boring under my own seat." "Yes," said his companions, "but when the sea rushes in we shall all be drowned with you."

Glad you're getting your footing back beneath you Ock! :)

No offense Ock, but it was nice to read a series of posts without going through your internet art collection!

Which do you spend more time on? Writing the post, or finding the photos to include with them? ::) ::)

Get Well Soon.

I happen to love Ock's photos. What a nasty and unnecessarily vitriolic thing to say about someone who devotes so much time to educating people who otherwise wouldn't have a clue about Florida railroad and transit history. I for one love his posts.

I thnk you forgot to turn on your 'sarcasm filter' again - lighten up.

I have a wonderful sarcasm detector, and it works rather well thanks.

That wasn't tongue in cheek, it was just plain rude, considering he's been in the hospital.

Nectar of the gods! (these photos are for you spuwho... smile!)

The stuff will KILL or CURE any illness known to man... even if it doesn't kill it, you'll hear it screaming out in pain all night long!
