Some days are better than others. But ya most days suck.
But having my boys and an 85 Bronk always needing
something keeps me limbered up.
I really hope Kevin's leg heals without any problems.
Even a simple broke leg can cause ya pain for life if it
don't heal right. My last back surgery didn't as I just found out.
So back under the knife with a different Dr. Woo Hoo.
But hey she is cute. And young. Maybe not a good
thing but I am ready to try anything short of a Wheel chair.

I sure am glad I bought a plow for my 2005 f150 truck because plowing with the tractor would not be a doable thing right now. I guess It will be nice to stay out of the cold this year since I will be off 6-12 weeks, I'll be feeding the wood burner that's for sure.

Man that sucks big time, getting around on ice has to be hard enough with both legs, much less with a broken one. I really feel for you, and hope you heal fast.

Artic, I hope you can get some relief for your back. Back and neck issues can be very debilitating. I've fought a bad back for years but so far I've not needed surgery. I hope you get to feeling better.

Tough break Kevin, my oldest brother had a hernia like that, about the size of a lemon.

Did you get a Christmas truck this year? Dennis

YES but I don't know if I will get it out to the front yard. Its a long story but I have the body and bed on and the steering box in but I wanted to be able to drive it and now this. I don't want to give out too much info until its in the yard decorated

Sorry to hear about your leg man. Hope you heal fast. It sure seems the season for folks getting hurt or sick. Heartattacks, triple by passes... Two of my friends managed to run their fingers through their tablesaws. 50 stitches for one, and 80 or so for the other, they managed to save his pinkie finger. Could be a sign for everyone to pay attention and be safe!

Hey, Kevin, sorry about your bad break. At least it wasn't the Tibia. but the screws in the ankle will take some time. Just be careful when you are able to get out. A high school soccer player on my team a few years ago that was a 2 time All-State player and a regional All-American broke his ankle, needed screws, at a preseason practice at a D-I college, Duquense. He missed that season. That winter at home after he was all healed up he slipped on ice outside his house and broke the other ankle again needing screws! He is no longer playing college soccer.

So heal fast and do show us those pictures when you can!

Take it easy and get the rest that they say you need. That's a bad fall and you have now joined the heavy metal club. You should really get some of those spikey grippers for your shoe(s) when you can go outside. I have been in the house almost 2 weeks and another two to go. Last week I went down to the shop and worked on a project I had started prior to surgery. Honda disc brakes on a case skidsteer. Way to much activity and movement and I suffered for 3 days. I still go down for about an hour a day and work on really light weight stuff like linkages etc.. It's near impossible to not do ANY shop work, specially when I'm home alone all day, feeling quite chipper and my wife is at work. Go slow and do not slip again, please! Don't tell my wife I go down to the shop.
