What struck me after watching a lot of clips and tributes is how much beyond the stage he could pass for anyone's Dad.

Respect my lack of authority.
"I just remembered something that happened a long time ago."
I believe his folks instilled that in him.
He appreciated our appreciation but was uncomfortable with it.
I pulled into a fuel stop way over in the east end of the Upper Peninsula once just as he and a mate were leaving on their Beemers; I got a good look at him with his lid up, and then the attendant confirmed my suspicions:
"Hey, mister, guess who that was?"
I answered, "Neil Peart?"
I thought he was gonna shit...

Okay, at 9:45am EST, 15 minutes before I leave for surgery (a 45 minute ride), I get a call from his receptionist that the surgeon's wife is in labor and the surgery needs to be rescheduled.
I say, "Congratulations!"
"Two more weeks more, but on another Thursday now, except at an earlier time.", she sez. I hangup and lose it.
(I need a quick vent...$%#@&!$^*&^%$#@!... okay better now.)
Bah! Yet the "specialist" charges me $240 for 5 minute consult back in December perhaps knowing her due date!
Forget American insurance.... I'm heading to Canada were the majority of my kin settled. Professional people all!
(WAIT!... It's cold up there now. In that case failure. Never mind then.)
I better get a cigar and it best be Cuban.
Oh yeah almost forgot... R.I.P. Neil Peart.

Good luck with your surgery, Stehle.
Hoping I don't hear I need disc-work soon.

Very True Statement Anon, and a lot of Canadians do....Even in the case of Having a friendly relationship with the doctor/specialists/surgeon here, you still have to wait for an open and staffed (nurses and anesthesiologist that must be in the surgery til complete ) room..
Saying that, not to take away the seriousness of Stehle's problem/issue, if a surgery is postponed here you may have to wait a hell of a lot longer than a few weeks later to reschedule... That is another reality here in Canada....

The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money
Just the thought Meg, of when i had a long fucking vacuum tube shoved up my pecker to remove stones stuck in my ureter!!!..
Trying to figure out what is worse, waking up after surgery and being in pain or pissing blood for weeks, also thinking i would have just had a small incision near my left kidney vs having the urge to take a piss and moving the blankets and seeing the whole bed full of blood!!!
I can tell you it did freak me out!!, but not a s much as my wife....
