Hey guys! I know I haven't been around that much lately , lots of stuff going on here at the dog house.
I'm going to report to the Saint Frances East side hospital for a total right hip replacement at 0600 in the morning :shock:
I should be home Thursday or Friday. Like I told Roy...That's one Helluva way to take a vacation :lol: I'm just going to consider this a sabbatical with OT :D
The surgery should take about one hour. They use a spinal block and lots versed. In other words I just won't give a crap :lol:
I should be able to log on with my old lap top through the hospital wi-fi. If not I will log in this week-end :D

All the very best, Ken, hope the op's a 100% success. I'm pretty sure it will be - you're one of the "hippest" guys I know! Sorry, bad pun, couldn't resist - but sincerely, I hope everything goes well! You'll be back playing the blues before you know it.

:D :D :D

Whoo! Ken! It sure sucks to get old but you aren't old so hang in there.

Best of luck Ken. It should be interesting to read your posts from the hospital when you're all hoped up on pain meds. :wink:

I used to work in an OR. seen a few hip replacements.
make sure they get it even. you don't want one leg longer than the other.
you end up walking in circles.
best wishes for a speedy recovery.

I'm going to report to the Saint Frances East side hospital for a total right hip replacement

Does that mean that if you need a left hip replacement, you check in to the West side :lol:

Best of luck Ken

Hope all goes well with your op Ken, and here's wishing you a speedy recovery

The only thing that keeps me from realising my full potential is the depressing awareness that it wouldn't take much time or effort...

Hi Ken, I hope it all went well. Let us know when you get back how it went.
