To get my heart beating in a steady rhythm again, one of the things they did...

.
.
.
... was shock me with those cardiac paddles you see on TV when they yell, "CLEAR!!!" It's called "cardioversion" as
on converting my cardiac rhythm.
.
Shortly prior to the procedure, one of the techs came in and shaved most of my chest to improve the conductivity of
the paddles. When he finished, he stepped back and said, "Now you can tell your friends you've been manscaped".
.
I forgot to tell you.
.
I've been manscaped.
.
It reminded me of my Army days in the mid-70's when I had surgery for which they prepped me by shaving me from
chest-to-knees. The surgery was successful and, when I was still kinda groggy and in the recovery room, they let
the ex-MsMFM sneak into the room.
.
Now mind you, this was LONG before "personal" shaving" meant anything other than faces and armpits and legs --
back when even porno movies evoked images, not of peaches... but of tumbleweeds.
.
.
.
My ex-wife poked her head around the corner of the door and didn't even ask me how I was. "Stand up and let me
see!!!"
.
I did and she started laughing uncontrollably.
.
"What's so funny?"
.
"You, "she giggled. "You look like the best-hung six-year-old in the world!!!"
.
"Why,,, thank you..."
