Saltine Crackers and Ginger Ale

Those are frozen peas on Joe's "parts"....if you will.
Joe went under the knife this morning to repair a hernia he thinks he got during the triumphs of basic training. Hooah? But not without entertaining the surgeon and nurses along the way. Apparently, after receiving a sort of narcotic before going totally under for the operation, Joe was asking questions, cracking jokes, telling stories while laying there under the lights. None of which he remembers at all. Unfortunate.
Joe: "So like, do a lot of people tell secrets when they're on this stuff?"
Nurses/Surgeon: "uhh, sometimes"
Joe: "I killed a man once."
That one was the talk of the office for the day.
Joe is now sleeping by my side, recovering rather well after today's day long excursion. Hernia, stitches.....catheter.....and all.

"Hernia, stitches.....catheter" they issue all of that for each rehersal in the band... he is just finally catching up!
:P
Poor Joe! He's lucky he's got you to nurse him back to health.
About the drugs and catheter...last year when Kenta's dad had a heart attack, they had to put a stent in and a catheter - basically they had to do a lot of stuff "down there". When he was all drugged up, the nurses came in and told him that they had to do an additional procedure. He was cussing at them about making him look like "a mexican hairless". Oh, it was so, so, so funny. Of course, he has no recollection of it. Those drugs are powerful stuff.
Poor Joe...I'd feel for him, but I can't quite reach him. ;-)
