Hey Bubba....want me to come over and play some cards?

Russ...How long before you can get back on your bum knee? I don't think it takes too long, 'specially since you're such a young feller. Good luck, anyway.

I think I took off 3 days work (and the weekend) after my appendectomy, and my surgeon was PO'd for some reason. Seems like he wanted me to goof off more. I'm waiting for hand surgery. The tendon that goes over the knuckle zigs off to the side, which locks things up and hurts like a gurl dog! I can't afford to goof off as much as you, tho.   Steve

My "Ortho-Pod" had me prove to him that I could bear weight and walk out the door from the Post-Op ward......he said if I sat for more than an hour without a 10 to 15 stroll around the room that he would beat me with my crutch! Glad he did too because warming the leg up in the mornings was HECK!!

Russ...if u need a stationary bike, I have one I can loan you. It's a nice one, too. Or, you might find one on the side of the road someplace. I'm at 24 Hr. Fitness tomorrow. Got my hand repaired today. It's in a cast, of course. Makes typing a strange combo of touch typing with the right and hunt/peck with the left thumb! C&R, Steve
