That’s me looking a tad worse for wear at Manning Base Hospital back in 2002. I’d suffered a heart attack while riding my bicycle, but I had my Kodak compact with me. I asked the nurse to take a pic, and she said, “Why on earth would you want a photo of this?” I replied, “Because, darling, I don’t look like this every day. Just press the button, sweetheart, just press the button.”

Oh wow Gary. I’m glad you don’t look like this every day. The nurse must have thought you were nuts :)

Is that the bionic man???...No it’s Gary the bike man…But we can fix him, make him stronger….I hope that you are now stronger…
Gary Kelly replied
Thanks John… but keep in mind that it was a heart attack, not a brain attack. The latter part of my anatomy is still a bit of a worry.

Gary Kelly replied
As they say, never leave home without your camera hehe. Actually, can I share something rather private with you? I was wearing my undies inside out that day, and they had a hole in them.

yes and it looks like you had a smile for the camera under that mask.

Not sure about a smile, but I was feeling pretty chirpy after they stuck some yippy stuff in my veins hehe.
