Dedicated - i'll say. Randy finished working on my bike with one leg. Ever seen a fella change your tires with a locked out knee. Now there's one for the bucket list.

Randy,

Sending you good wishes and positive energy for a speedy and complete recovery.

Jeff

p.s. thanks again for getting my parts out so quickly. They saved me a week of waiting without transport.  :good2:

Well, I am home and resting, I wish I could say comfortably. The surgery went well according to the doctor and my next visit is early next week. The surgery took a little longer than expected and he told me he had to do "more surgery than normal". I asked what that meant but he did not want to explain at this point. Probably because I was still pretty loopy from all of the medications.

My wife said the knee looks much better than it did after the last surgery and I really don't feel too bad.

I hope to be able to get to the shop for short periods to try and keep up, but I do have the laptop at my side when I am at home.

Recover first.

Do not even take a chance on damaging the surgeons work. Yea, I know you will say you'll be careful but all it takes is a slip on your crutches....... Follow orders..

Do not go to the shop unless it's on fire....then just dial 911, then your insurance co.

Everyone can wait.

Randy

Great news that the surgery was a success!!!! Good to here that you are home and resting. Take care don't push it, some little thing happens and can causes a big setback. Best wishes for a full and quick recovery.
