Worried about Randy Johnson
Game three is about 5 hours away and I am nervous. Not because I’m worried the Yankees will lose. If they lose, they lose, life goes on and we play another day.
I’m worried that Randy Johnson’s spine will come shooting out his lower back. He had an EPIDURAL. He had a procedure that is most often used when a woman GIVES BIRTH, one of the most painful experiences a human can go through and requires MONTHS to rebound from.
He had “injection of an anesthetic into the lumbar area of the spine in the space between the spinal cord and the dura, which eliminates sensation from the point of insertion downward, used esp. in childbirth.”
CHILDBIRTH my friends. Have you ever been with a woman who goes through childbirth?? No?? Well, I have!! It’s awful. I broke my collar bone once in 6 places while skiing. About 24 hours after it happened, after I had it looked at and x-rayed and was wearing a figure 8 brace, it hurt. It hurt like hell. THAT experience is like a paper cut compared to childbirth.
And the guy Yankee fans are hoping to win tonight just had a procedure to block the pain of childbirth.
Forget the bloody sock. This will be the bloody underoos.
Watch the game tonight, I feel something bad happening. It could be a good one.
