A friend of mine at work, Jay, broke his leg badly while getting out of bed one morning and tripping over his dog. (That’s what he says and lets just go with it.)<\/p>\n

To hold it all the bones together he has got the most complicated apparatus I’ve ever seen screwed into his leg. Its a marvel of medical science and engineering. He has two rods screwed into his shin bone and one clear through his heel.<\/p>\n

During the holidays I wanted him to put some battery operated Christmas lights on it. He wouldn’t do it.<\/p>\n

(I told him that the above photo was the money shot.)<\/p>\n

Jay takes all this in stride and doesn’t seem too bothered by the apparatus. He seems bemused by all the attention he is getting in the office. I guarantee you I would be very pitiful and probably not even at work. <\/p>\n

Right after the procedure he and his wife flew from Tulsa down to San Antonio to watch his beloved Oklahoma State University Cowboys play in the Alamo Bowl. His dedicated wife pushed him in his wheelchair over a mile from their hotel to the stadium. Is that dedication or what?<\/p>\n

You know what the fun thing is going to be? When they take those rods out. His doctor is going to use a cordless electric drill, attached them to the rods, put the device in reverse, and unscrew them. I wonder if Jay will let me come along with my Flip video camera to record that for the world wide web. Stuff like that is why Al Gore invented the internet.<\/p>\n
