Don't they swab the injection site with anti bacterial first?

Wow Bil, that's a horror story. Glad you are still with us, :shock:
Seriously, and kudos for returning to coaching!

My foot and sports story is much less traumatic. The one year our beloved Sonics played their home games at the T-Dome, my wife was a nanny and got us tickets that her boss had purchased at auction but couldn't use. Being as it was a one-year thing these seats werent reserved but only sold individually and this was just the second home game of the season. turned out to be right on the bench, between the team and the scorer's table - so close we got interviewed by sports reporter Don Borst at halftime about it. The Times' sports section page 1 photo was coach Karl standing on the sideline, with my one left shoe visible in the very far right corner just above the fold. closest i ever came to realizing every kids' hoop dreams.

Jesus, I feel guilty about whining about my $2600 Aston Martin Key. btw I found a used key online for $400 and called a Euro Auto repair place to see if they could program it but they couldn't. So I called the Dealership and they said they couldn't program a used one either. I asked how are dozens of keys available online that can't be reprogrammed. He said "I don't know" but we can't.

I asked how is labor $1000. He said $259 an hour for 2 hours. I said that is only $518. He said Hold on. Came back and said there was a $259 diagnostic fee and the key itself is actually $1800. I told him I thought it was price gauging. Just unreal.
No way I could fit in a Aston Martin. I got in my friends Porsche Boxster one time. If we had a video camera, we could have won America's Funniest Home Videos

They did, but I talked the doc into switching sites and she did not realize it was not swabbed.
