Paul, wasn't there a similar video several months of a guy playing banjo during his brain surgery? I may have seen it on WU but I'm not so sure.

Drat that Chuck! He always gets the best stuff first!

Just because this post overlaps an older WU post, I'm going to put up a second Saturday one right now!

Don't worry Paul, we realize it's the thought that counts. 😊

Patty, Dr. McDreamy is the nick name for Dr. Shepherd (played by Patrick Dempsey) on Grey's Anatomy.

Be that as it may Patty, we HE-MAN types gotta avoid even the appearance of poofiness. So there! 💋

I've had brain surgery. It's not the fiddling in the brain that would bother me. It's the cutting through flesh, muscle, and SKULL that would freak me out. I never had any urge to see them staple my skully shut either. Blech! There are anesthetics for a reason!!
