Looks like I'm going to have to go under the knife(again).

Hope things get better for you Ferm. My father in law recently spent a week in the hospital for some BS meds his doctor was switching around on him. I hate hospitals. When I get old and ready to die I think I'll be like an old Indian and just walk off into the woods and sit down against a tree and croak.

LOL the way things are going in this country you'll probably need to buy a "woods use" license, a "walking permit", sign an affidavit and pay a fee to the Sierra Club that you will not harm a tree while leaning on it, and last but not least a "Croaking" fee. Then of course, your heirs will have to pay the same fees and obtain the same permits, plus they will have to pay a "removal" fee to take your body out of the woods. Additionally, if a wild animal chews on you at all, they will have to pay a fine for possibly poisoning the wildlife, the EPA will step in and demand that the ground you sat on be certified as free from all contaminants, 4 tests over a years time will have to be performed to verify the ground is clean, and, of course, the local Indian tribe will sue your heirs for desecrating their chosen way of dying.

I'm with ya Destroyer. I was talking to someone a little while ago and we were talking about spreading ashes at sea. Supposedly you have to pay some kind of fee and get permission from the state I believe. I told my wife when it's my turn she'd better not be paying any fee to anybody! Take me out and dump me in bull river between lazaretto creek and wassaw sound and send me off on an out going tide. It will be my last chance at sticking it to the man.

Well since I'm part indian I could probably circumvent most of them permits and fines. For the icing on the cake, I was walking the dogs this morning and they were froggy because of the cool air. The youngest(and biggest) one caught my left crutch when I was starting up the ramp, and down I went in the dirt on you guessed it, my bad side. So today aint been a good day. Had to break the Percocet back out, but not until after I had went down and got my haircut(he got a good laugh about that one as I only go in about 3 times a year for a haircut). So ought to be a fun Christmas.

The Dr says I have to wait until the 23rd to go full weight bearing on my hip. Getting tired of the crutches already ,and it hasn't even been 4 weeks yet. Going to be fun chasing the little one on crutches for the next few weeks.

You all but said it yourself, you need to be 100% if you plan on keeping up with junior. It is only a few more weeks, you have made it this far, don't mess it up now. Did they do good or can you tell yet?

Stick with the plan Ferm, you will get stronger everyday if you do
