Yesterday after they put the IV in my arm, they were drawing blood and it was not flowing well. As she pulled the plunger on her hypodermic, bubbles showed in the line. I said, “You’re getting cavitation.”
She said, “What’s cavitation?” I said, “Cavitation is when the pressure in the line drops below the vapor pressure of the fluid and causes bubbles to occur. It is something that designers of submarine propellers work very hard to avoid.”
I’m not sure she fully understood my explanation.
But it's always good to keep them guessing.

I'm glad you're feeling pretty well. And, I really love the "cavatation" word you threw out there. It surely would keep them on their toes with thinking - this guy is really on the ball."
Just really glad that you're feeling better than after some chemo treatments AND keep them on their toes. I really admire that a lot. Ruth
