To most people who were not doctors as you are Dr.

Manny -- and his and he you know you get a little.

You know you start getting a little concerned thinking hey the man 76 years old.

And he's missing a long.

First of all that's what the long thing just to get over the way at what I understand is that when he was a teenager.

He had some kind of infection right and the long had to be removed but that's strange.

Well it's not strange you know back in those days especially where he was that.

I would argue that you there are certain types of infection.

You know from tuberculosis.

Which is a common infection.

Two other things where anti antibiotics who who were not readily available.

And therefore you know and those days I wouldn't be surprised -- the doctors really have no choice but to say look.

He's getting recurring infection we don't seem to have the right antibiotic -- belong out even today you know today.

Newman that Khamese which is called the removal of one long.

Is extremely.

Rare.

Mean but it happens but can a person.

Lived yeah normal life justice of the Al wild perhaps it was it hard to breathe -- don't know what kind of problems.

Let's that is that this is why god you know you lungs kidneys.

-- But they have the other but buffaloes have done right so that that's exactly -- was -- halftime with the pancreas right now to go with the Packers and other organs but -- -- -- -- -- music yeah for -- and if -- what -- by removing one.

Yes you lose I'll be alive because you get set number of mobile lion goes on that kind of areas where the oxygen transport is made but.

Nonetheless that -- that other -- begins to then get sort of mid level into the chest.

Expands a little bit more and gets a little bit bigger and therefore.

They did a little vital capacity that was the air -- -- looking at how port that it makes up naturally as you could say God's way in right and and you know you live -- you know.

-- as you know can you run a marathon between six miles -- that was probably know exactly -- -- and you're good at -- you know they only concerned now because of his age you have to say well.

You know you have to be careful with pneumonia is and you know and any upper respiratory infection because now things are a little bit different.

So you know I'm thinking I was talking to a colleague a little while ago and I -- you know when I finally become 76 years -- I don't -- full time job.

I don't wanna find out he's great for the mind.

-- -- -- -- -- great -- -- -- -- -- all day long -- this guy this -- a superstar.

Superstar in my book.

It's an indirect way of asking this question.

76 year old is he fine can he put it a full day's work is he mentally capable of maintaining the concentration the focus it's necessary.

Listen the the depending on -- it's his life has been you know just reading that the -- stores coming out on his life.

You know if you even if they say that the seven -- the new thirties there OK no really that's so momentous metabolic and speaking half way.
