Right after one of us scores the next point.

Patient learns just how popular Pickleball is!

For those who know Pickleball: Get out of the kitchen!

That looks fun!

Mom, at 97 years old, had an “event” with her heart and when the 911 guys showed up they said she could go to ER or we can wait and see before we “zap” her. Mom piped up, “Put me back in bed!” She recovered in about ten minutes to regular BP and pulse. She had another two years in her and did not want to miss out on our lunch get togethers.

Wait!!… Can you zap my Panini first?!

He’ll have to wait, this is important, the game is on the line.

Careful Bleeb. Don’t get stepped on.

LOL! Paddles….

I’m sure he’s just spectating

But this is the winning point!

I’m waiting to see what happens if the paddles touch..

Hold on a sec, this paddle is hot; I’m winning…

I hope that’s a pickleball they’re playing with, and not someone’s – um.

Someone always spikes the punch at the Pickle Ball.

These guys probably have a really great rhythm going.

Looks like at the Granbury hospital

At my last place of employment, a jail, many of the contracted medical staff spent a lot of time outside the facility smoking. Not only was it setting a bad example but created an unnecessary delay if there was a medical code.

The final volley is a heart stoppimg moment!!!

A coworker once said that he’d never use the auto-defibrillator in our building for fear of being sued, even if it meant one of us would die. Nice guy.

What is the name and location of this hospital? So I can avoid it.

If the pickle ball isn’t dill, it’s not Kosher. Everybody knows that!
