Carl, good to hear the clean bill re. the old pump. The last time I had one done the two young nurses were a real trip, put me at ease as I joked with them. One told me she was going to pull my bottoms off and lay a towel over the privates. When I looked at it, it was rather narrow and only about a foot long so I questioned her on its size. With a serious look on her face, she leaned over and said "honey, if this won't cover you, then you and I will be married by the time you come around." The three of us were howling with laughter when the doctor walked in, gave us all a funny look, then asked me if I had any questions. "As a matter of fact, yes. Why does the function of this room on the wall outside also have it imprinted in Braille?" One nurse quickly told me that was for the doctors, the dr. wasn't amused for some reason. The real test was the "gal" that shaved me before the procedure. She was rather stocky, more than a little butch, and definitely a member of the "other" team. Didn't know I could hold my breath that long!
