Wow, quality staple job. Better cool it on wearing nylons for a while. You'll shred em. And next time go for the full body wax. It's cheaper and much less painful. smile

Hope you're up and at em soon!

You're absolutely correct. From this day forward the campfire will be Bristoe-less.

Carry on.

Push on through it, I am two months out of back surgery and in third week of hard therapy. Had a couple of complications but the effort pays off. Hang in there!

I had a spinal for ACL surgery about 15 years ago. They took a tendon out of one knee to put it in the other, and held it up for me to see. It looked like the gristle you'd trim off a tough cut of beef.

Guy in the bed next to me had a hip replaced. They had him up and walking within a day. He got real excited when the doc told him he could have sex, said "wait till I tell my wife."

This is the morning of the 4th day and it looks like I will get to go home. Thank goodness for visitors to relieve the boredom of the hospital room.

Dober came by a few times to bring various reading materials, this one from Eileen and John...

I had MINOR surgery (arthroscopic) Dec 3rd to the rt knee & rt. shoulder at the same time. It's now Feb. 5th. The shoulder is doing nicely but still healing. The knee is another matter. What I had done was nothing compared to a replacement. Yet, the healing for minor knee repair seems to take FOREVER. It's usable & I get around but it may be a couple more months till it feels right.

I'm no stranger to hospitals. All the "hard charging " Big Stick accuses me of, has taken it's toll. This injury didn't require surgery, but therapy and ice were a big help. After several joint surgeries and 2 rotator cuff surgeries, I have quite a few of the necessary aids for recovery hanging around the house...

Looks like you've been a busy man.
Wishing you the best with your surgeries. I see my Doc on the 15th, my right knee may be next. Not looking forward to it, yet, feeling better would be nice.

You take care. Stay up with your PT.

There may be advantages for Couch Sitters, as Schitck likes to call some of us...

Shrap, hope you heal up real quick there my friend...

and are back in action, pain free in the near future...

I thank the good Lord, my skeletal system is in very good working order for my age... but then I've gone out of my way to make it so.... learning a lot about proper body mechanics being a corpsman in the Army...

saw a lot of young guy and a lot of medical personnel with skeletal and joint problems from bad mechanics...

Shrap, you are going to be down a while and it is cold outside. If you need any reading material to help pass the time let me know and a box will be on the way. Working the therapy and not rushing too much is the key to a good result. You are young enough to reap the rewards of repair. Good luck.

Shrapnel, I've always enjoyed your posts - experience, wisdom, and insight ( plus, some beautiful shotguns as well). Please know you are in my prayers during this recovery time.

Please ask them what make/model of shears they used for the trim-up.

I am looking for something for taxidermy work on Russian hogs....


At least you're at home and (hopefully) got outta there sans an infection!
