Well, one of the benefits of playing a lot of golf is that I was able to drive over and get both my son's BMW checked out and get some doctors to suggest stuff about the gall bladder. Seems it's easier to get lawyers and doctors than guys who own auto repair shops at a golf club, so I looked for that guy first. But the medical stuff I got included the suggestion that there are two nuclear tests, the names of which I most likely cannot spell, that determine firstly if your GB is indeed working. If not, then get rid of it......after golf season was the caveat. Evidently for a person who has had "one" gallstone pass it's not an issue to take to the surgeon (based on that alone) and flame-on the laser. I was told that it was something to tell Emergency, that I have gallstones, if I were ever to have another attack. But other than that as long as it does not affect my game I should forget about it. Even so, if I should have it taken out to wait until after the season; 3, 4 weeks of convalescence during golf season was prescribed as cruel and unnecessary punishment. No kidding, it seems doctors actually talk like this, informally, around golf courses. Lawyers drop their guard as well, come to think of it. ----------------------------- Seems the Sopranos are shooting a scene there tomorrow. If we have pasta fagioli or zeppole on the menu on Tuesday I think I may stick to my liquid diet. The bartender made me a huge Black&White Milkshake at the bar. That turned some heads. Also turned my stomach about twenty minutes later.
