Good luck with the surgery Larry. I'm laid up too since 12/26. Tore all the ligaments in my ankle. 2 more weeks in a cast then physical therapy. If that don't fix it I get surgery. I am so bored!!!

Holly crap Brett sorry to hear of your misfortune. http://s2.images.proboards.com/tongue.gif
I sure hope all heals well and the therapy isn't too painful.
You old guy's have got to learn to take it easy! http://s2.images.proboards.com/grin.gif

10/4 on the boredom. http://s2.images.proboards.com/tongue.gif Thats winter. :-/

Hey Brett, are you watching Barrett/Jackson auction like me? Did you screw-up your ankle by chasing the wife around the kitchen table? You hit the big 50 mark so you can't do the things you did 30 years ago.
They cut the flap of cart ledge off that was torn and smooth what they could. I'll probility have to have that chicken sh*t shot to both knees because of the arthritics. this was the 7th time I had minor surgery over the years.

Hope you guys heal up quick, we have some riding to do this summer.
Theres always Barrett Jackson to cure the boredom for this week.

[Heater_Guy]

I've been watching Barrett Jackson, football, hockey, The Price Is Right, anything I can find on t.v. Counting down the hours til this cast comes off. Sitting on the couch don't pay much either! (no pay at work unless you get hurt on the job) Plus I have to pay for my medical insurance while I'm out of work. My next employer is gotta have better benefits than I have now. http://s2.images.proboards.com/tongue.gif

Hey Brett; Obama wants to fix all your medical insurance for you. Then your monthly fee's just dissappear. ;)

[beezer]

Holy sh1t Brett. I hope you heal 100%.

Yeah, and we can insure 40 million more people AND save money by cutting costs. ;)

[Heater_Guy]

Holy sh1t Brett. I hope you heal 100%.
Thanks Beez, it was my shifter foot so I got about 2 months to get it in shape for the season.

[Heater_Guy]

How's the knee doing Larry? I get my cast off tomorrow, then start therapy. I'm hoping no surgery needed.

[fish]

Over a month with a cast on! It should of healed by now, lets hope.
I had ligaments cut to straighten my right knee about 24 years ago and never went to therapy, big mistake. Before I tore the cartledge (back in June) my left knee was my good knee. Its coming along very well now. I should of had it fixed sooner but, OH hell thats what happens to thick headed Irishmen.
Don't over do it at therapy. I know, just ask me about my shoulder :'(
Where are you going for therapy?

[Heater_Guy]

The closest places that takes my insurance are down at 309 and Shawnkweiler Rd. or up at 309 and 100. I gotta figure out soon which one to use. Therapy will probably start right away as soon as the cast comes off.

[beezer]

Good luck with that Brett

[Heater_Guy]

Thanks Beez, 50 years old and now I can learn how to walk. http://s2.images.proboards.com/grin.gif

[fish]

Stitches came out yesterday but he won't release me to go back to work at my main job. So I'm off for another 2 weeks. With the storm coming friday I guess I lucked out :)

[rooster1]

Hope all is well with the knee. I have a shoulder problem. Maybe you should stay off your knees when Beezer & Old Dawg is around. http://s2.images.proboards.com/grin.gif http://s2.images.proboards.com/grin.gif

You heard the expression "the operation was a success but the patient died" :( well not quite, its a long story.

[Heater_Guy]

The doc gave me prescriptions for Valium and Percocet after surgery last Thursday so I might have signed up for the Boston Marathon too. I'm really not sure. ;) I'm starting therapy again tomorrow and it's gonna be intense this time. Gotta get back to work. You gotta get better Larry, I need somebody to race against. http://s2.images.proboards.com/grin.gif

Well, I'm happy you're back to work Larry.

I was in one a few years ago, it was very cold and super noisey. Not my cup of tea. It was fast though, it had a 454 chev motor.

[beezer]

I was in a few in the Everglades. One just this past December. They're fun :)

[Top Cat]

I have seen them in the Everglades on TV. They look like a riot. :)

[ringadingh]

Not when its zero outside, thats what it was the day I went for a ride.
