5612 - Don McMillan - Nerd


Who? Don McMillan. I just saw an AGT bit he did. I was going to post it. It was about 5 minutes. But then I found this on Youtube. It has all the bits he did on AGT plus more! And they're all NERD JOKES! 24 minutes of them! It can't get much better than this!



..........

My Tuesday MRI turned out to be a CT scan. They said I'd hear about the results on Wednesday. So I called on Thursday and listened to the recording telling me they'll get right back. I'll try again today.

Update...
Well the ENT doctor called and I missed the call. I called back and the nurse that answered the phone(!) said he would call me back. And that he sent a copy of the CT scan to my PC doctor who sent a copy to my heart doctor. Hmmmm. My ENT doc called back. My vocal cord problem is idiopathic. Translation, don't know why it happened. So he'll set me up with speech therapy as soon as they get another speech therapist because theirs is out right now.
Oh, and by the way, he says, my chest CT showed that I have an aortic aneurysm. That's why the CT was sent to my heart doctor. 
Oh, and one of the medical people I've seen this week mentioned that I probably have an epigastric hernia. That's one that's right in the middle of the chest. 
I'll probably do a medical post on Monday where I'll include my granddaughter and her latest adventure.

See that look on Don McMillan's face? That's me right now.

Good luck with getting the results of your test - and I hope they are helpful.

Elephant's Child said...

Somedays I think I am a dork AND a nerd.

Mike said...

Sue - Maybe that's why they're not calling me. The results don't show anything.
I think I bounce around to and from all three.

River said...

well that was funny to watch. why are they holding off telling you the results? are they trying to find a nice way to say you are actually a dead man walking? I certainly hope NOT.
I don't think I'm a dork or a geek or a nerd. So what's left?

Mike said...

River - The last part to be filled in was stalker.
Maybe I have to pay extra to see the results.

Bilbo said...

I think I bounce back and forth between nerd and dork. Good luck with the test results. Agnes has an MRI coming up ... since they do them here in the middle of the night, we may be able to enjoy the results as breakfast entertainment.

Debra She Who Seeks said...

I hope you get good results from your CT scan.

John A Hill said...

Funny stuff

Mike said...

Bill - I've never heard of middle of the night tests. Unless you're talking about 5am or something like that. That's middle of the night to me.

Deb - I'm going to update the post.

John - I thought so. That's why I took a chance posting a 24 minute video.

Sending you Blessings 🐱

Mike said...

Cloudia - I hope they work!

Adam said...

Thank goodness nerdy is acceptable now

jenny_o said...

Ugh - that's a lot of new health stuff to absorb all at once. My face would look like that too. I imagine they will just monitor your aortic aneurysm - that's what happened with my dad and both his brothers whose aneurysms were all discovered the same way yours was - by chance.

That guy's a decent comedian, especially for an engineer :) Well worth the time to watch the video - thanks.

Mike said...

Adam - We're special.

Jenny - My mother had an aortic aneurysm and died with it intact.

Kathy G said...

Growing old is not for sissies. Good luck.

BTW I was in your stomping grounds tonight-Minnie Ha Ha park, where we walked along the river. It was a lovely place.

Best wishes for your health issues. Modern medicine so often does not know and most doctors hate admitting it.

I'm more of a nerd than dork but I have my moments...

Mike said...

Kathy - You didn't fall in did you? The bank is eroding in one spot and they are going to have to move the walkway over about 20 feet.

Allen - And moments can turn into a lifetime.

Kathy G said...

Since I hadn't been there before I had no way to compare what the bank used to look like and now, but it's a scary thought that I might have been in danger.

Mike said...

Kathy - It's not dangerous yet. It's just working in that direction. I'm just messing with you. 😜 But they really are going to move the path.

NERD = Nuclear Engineerine R&D
DORK = Data Oriented Research Knowledge

Mike said...

Stu - We need a DWEEB definition also.

Martha said...

A lot of things to absorb all at once. Wishing you well!

Mike said...

Martha - Thanks.

Ole Phat Stu said...

DWEEB = Dick With Emasculated Eye Brows ?

Mike said...

Stu - I wouldn't want to see that... or him.
