...getting HIP (update 8/26)

[madjack]

..................................................................And you have your own private nurse, too.

CD

yeah, we are trying to figure a way to charge the insurance company for home care.............

.................................................................after the surgery, you may find yourself with an bizarre craving for kibble, and an embarrassing habit of sniffing butts.

CD

...heck that could happen now...and I don't even need tequila for it to occur................

Can they slap a set of Bearing Buddies on there so you can keep em lubed up?
Best of luck Jack.

I asked 'em about what they did to protect the end of the "zerk" fitting...they didn't seem to have a good answer for that one..........

Good luck with that Jack!!! Make sure you have the batteries charged, hate to have the drill quit in the middle of the operation!!!

I talked to Boudreau and Thibeaudeau about that and they said they could get an extra set of batteries w/charger from their sister, Menominee...she always has "batteries"(so all the boys say ).............

Jack, you know a REAL man would just cut his leg off at the hip joint and slap a pogo stick on that side...adds a little bounce to your gait..
all kidding aside, good luck on that surgery, Bubba.

Jim, you ever see "Planet Doom"(?)...Rose McGowan had her leg replaced with a M16...later, with a gatling gun...I though about an attachment which would allow me run power tools offofit.............

Good luck MJ. I will be bringing to LCG some homemade healing power
to help you out if you still need healing.

glad you opped for the real knife weilders - Dr.s that is - you left the super glue out of your DIY kit and I'm afraid that might have been messy - good luck and apologize in advance for what ever you might say under the anithesia.[sp]

I'm wishing you well, MJ.

Hope the operation is a breeze and leaves you well enough in a few months to dance!

[madjack]

...well after due(and sober) consideration, Boudreau backed out and Thibeaudeau had a combine to rebuild so I have an appointment with LeAnn at her admittance desk for 7:30 this morning...I'll be leaving out in a few minutes and just wanted to thank all my well wishers and to tell all, I will be back(here) with updates by sometimes tomorrow...although I am bringing the laptop, I probably won't be able to keep from drooling long enough to make a post this afternoon or tonight...gonna be a fun day!!!!!!!!!!

Good luck with the surgery MJ! You're gonna love that new hip. A friend of mine had one done a couple months ago and you should see him walking around now. Big improvement! Wishing you a speedy recovery.

Oh....and don't forget to ask for a sponge bath!!

Hi MJ. Just found this thread and so I am a little late wishing you well before you go in. I will be thinking about you all day and wishing you the best recovery possible. This year at LCG I hope to recognize you in the dark, unlike last year. I really hated to see you in so much pain. I will be here watching and waiting for news today. Poor Marlene, it is so hard to be the one waiting and not being able to help. Keep us updated when you can.

Madjack, are sure this isn't a job for duct tape?

Just joking. I'll keep you in my prayers.

Blessings,

Todah

Duct Tape..... hmmmmmm

For your recovery viewing pleasure I found these great Duct tape sites.....

Duct Tape Wallet anyone?

Duct Tape Hats

Duct Tape Batman Mask Might want to wait for the hip to heal for that one.


Hope all is well Mj!!

I just got a call from a VERY groggy Mad One. Seems that all went well, and they will have him up walking tomorrow. The Poor Girl has her work cut out for a while!

[Lesbest]

Just found this thread and glad all seems to have gone well. MJ has been a calming force here and hope your new hips will keep you mobil, for many more years to come.

Good luck and get well fast.
