Let’s Get Physical (Pt. 11)
Then Bonnie does a dirty trick. She adds more exercises to my regimen. Curses! She is a physical therapist/dominatrix!
Move Over, MacGyver (Pt 10)
With a clever design and advanced engineering that borders on magic, the incredible Sock Putter-Onner (my name) is perhaps the greatest invention of all time (makes sliced bread look like crap– try getting a sock on with a slice of bread, it can’t be done!).
Rolling to Freedom (Pt. 9)
I am now stealth on wooden floors with my walker– like a Navy Seal in my ability to advance quietly. But when I see the tennis balls, I have ironic flashbacks to my orginal diagnosis of my arthritis… (WAVY LINES, WAVY LINES, SFX: HARP MUSIC)…
Gut Shots (Pt. 8)
The road to recovery is littered with many things, spent hypodermics for example.
The Bollinger Effect (Pt. 7)
‘Avoid the Bollinger effect’– what’s that?”
“I dunno. Probably some new corporate initiative.”
“Yeah, sounds about right.”
“Who’s Bollinger?”
“Got me. Any idea what the ‘effect’ is?”
