I had to have surgery this past Monday and it was supposed to be outpatient surgery where I would be released to go home shortly after the surgery was over. Well, the good Lord had a few other plans and when a few complications ensued, they ended up admitting me. It turns out I had a roommate in the room they sent me to. He had been in another room but due to some other issues, they had moved him to this room. Well, somehow amid nurses and technicians who took EXCELLENT care of us, we struck up a conversation. I don't recall how it came up, but in our discussions, we found out we both have a 69 Charger. And they are both medium green! Well, we didn't stop there and swapped stories of the other Mopars we both have and general bench racing from our hospital beds broke out. We even got the midnight male nurse in on the discussions!! I learned how he has some parts he wants to sell - parts that I am looking for!! So when I got released the next day, we swapped phone numbers, our wives agreed we are both nuts, and we have an agreement to go get well first, and then be in touch. The plan is I'll head up to his shop to check out his toys and hardware! So had I not been admitted and had he not had his room moved, we'd have never met. Instead, now we each have a new Mopar pal!!
