N.O.B.

I have a doctor house call scheduled for tomorrow morning... weird.

Should I make him sit out on my front stoop for a half hour to fill out a bunch of useless forms?

Maybe I can find some vintage Highlights magazines from 1983 and scatter them on the welcome mat.

Merry late Christmas to the best thread on the catpaw. Man, when you have kids, christmas is a damn bull rush to the end. finally gave the little shit some benadryl around 11:30 cause she wouldn't, couldn't go to sleep. me and he wifey didn't get in bed till like 3, back up at 7 and the all day onslaught. but it's still a blast. daughter is 9 and a half, probably the last year she believes in all the magic, if she does't already know already and just too chicken shit to tell us.

me and the missus bought a nintendo switch for the "kid", or family, but had it for like the last month, we have been staying up getting stoned and playing the shit out of it the whole time then wrapped it up and made it a present lol.

Doc said today i am halfway through the treatment (chemo) process already. blood test are perfect even with them trying to poison the crap out of me. tells me he thinks i am good but that this is still the best thing for me since i am still youngish. gone back to work, lost no hair and other than about 5 days or so every other week during the cyce, i eat like my body is on a mission. just a little bit longer and hopefully this shit is in the rear view mirror.

probably feel like a poop but still getting hammered on new years,

Ridiculously long story.... but I’ll share. (Please skip over as there is zero entertainment value)

I use a partial prosthetic to walk. This the daily penance I pay for a neighbor running 3-yo Kook’s leg over with a lawnmower. I have a foot portion, big toe and a fused ankle (amongst other carpentry).

In any case, my brace recently broke. I can’t walk without it. For my commute, I walk over 3mi daily...

My orthopedic surgeon is dead so I can’t get a script. My local prosthetic doctor guy has not been returning my calls. Come to find that he’s been bought out by a large consortium and they are trying to establish another guy with his caseload. Problem is, new guy currently has no office or workshop.

Picture the movie, the Fugitive - where a typical prosthetic shop has a bounty of fake limbs hanging from the ceiling... that would be great, but this dude has nothing-right now. He knows of my original old brace doctor, the venerable Glen Hutnick - so there’s that.

This new guy is coming to me at my home to see my condition, borrow my brace for a bit, take it home with him and repair it... then - return it. Dope.

I’m planning on havin me a Billy Joe Wildcat day on the couch anyway- so let the good doctor in and let him have at it.

Hope he doesn’t take my leg and crash in a fiery heap... because then, I’m butt-effed.

Hang in there, man. Hope it all works out. Praying for you.

Not to bring up more bad memories but...just how drunk/stoned was the idiot neighbor that ran over 3 yo kooky's leg?

More importantly how much did they have to pay out for Kookys leg. I'd take no less than 5 mill

Great question.

This happened in 1973... the fuggin stupid, backwards 70’s. My parents weren’t counseled correctly.

Settled out of court for a cool $20k in damages. That was the going rate. If I were a girl, double. By the time I got to UK, that translated to 3 of my 5 years paid, plus a base VW Golf.

This day and age, I’d be a millionaire several times over. Instead, 6 major surgeries later, relentless pain, a childhood without contact sports and I got me a pile of Kaizerschillings.

Meh, it just adds to my mystique.

Man, I'm so sorry to hear this. Can't imagine living with a bad digit like that.
 
If there’s a way I could suckle gubment teat, let me know cuz I’m not a high character guy. Plus, I luv me some juicy teats.

My new brace guy came over and effed my shit up. It was free tho. That’s zero Kaiserschillings to you Beyoncés.

He not only didn't fix, he "effed your shit up"? I was hoping you might even get super lucky and have a super hot female doc make the house call...guess not. Bummer.

Boy Northwestern is gonna F our S up, I am pretty confident in that. Idk what our basketball cats do. They're probably still playing with their christmas toys or whatever. Who cares?

My prediction: football Cats lose by 10-14. Basketball Cats slaughter Louisville by 25. The last three points scored come from a banked in shot by Brad, who an hour later thanks all the haters via twitter for doubting him and reminds us all hard work pays off.

I think the basketball Cats win by 6 today. Bright lights, big game = a little more GAF on the court today.

UK 73
U6 67

As for Team Stoops...meh...not expecting much. Probably get beat by a couple of TD's or more. Our defense will get trounced.

NW 42
UK 24
 
He used a heat gun and super industrial contact cement and mispositioned the lift portion when he stuck it back on. He recut and reglued another chunk. It’s just wrong. I need to have him rebuild the entire foam lift in a couple weeks.

He will eventually recast my leg and build an entire thing from scratch.

Ahhhh, yeah I'd imagine there's a pretty tight tolerance on the fit.

I’m truly the only expert on my own kinesiology. I know every nuance and resultant from any changes. This poor guy had no chance.

He prematurely stuck it together and it was too late.

From there he tried his best.

Next week, I’ll be on a site visit and I’ll be bleeding from somewhere due to this.
 
@-Mav- the time came where I just bought a new coffee machine. This mouthatoucha makes a primo pour over. Got a Ratio8.

That sucks. Hang in there, brother.

Cool that you got an old school house call. But it sounds like you got an even older school 19th century-esque job on that brace.
 
Rafferty just said some Louisville player "he doesn't mind jacking it".
