That's good news, Kevin.

Watch out for the ice!

Sorry I'm late to this party (and to see that you have a medical issue). I kind if liked the artwork with the markers. Maybe you should get a tattoo of the markers as a memento. On second thought, I think the scar looks like plenty. Glad to hear things are coming along for you.

Great to hear you're almost fully recovered.

Take it easy and I agree you should find some place on your truck to put the removed screws.

UPDATE: I had surgery Friday, AWAKE! They gave me a couple shots in the ankle, cut me open and then all HECK broke out! The Doc started removing one screw and it hurt and I could feel the sweat beads starting on my head. On to the second screw and now my entire forehead is wet. PAIN like the day I broke it I kid you not. Then I hear what sounds like vise grips slipping off the plate SEVERAL TIMES, Doc says the plate is stuck to the bone....... NO SHISH! At that point they were going to put me under and I said just do what you have to do and the sweat beads started running down my face.
Recovery was much better than being put under but was it worth it? I think not.
So today I was able to lace up a PAIR of work boots and walk un assisted. I will still be off work till after April 8th and recovery will have me at 80% at 6 months from injury so the time of the supernats in TN (May 15th) I'll be around 80%


I have to say its been a long winter and I'm glad I was able to share/vent my misfortune with you all. Everyday is getting better.

Well Kevin at least it's over! One step closer to getting back to normal. I had a pin in my hand at the pinky finger that they pulled with out numbing. Luckily it didn't hurt but I know the sound of them losing the grip on the pin a couple of times. Mine was worse when they were checking the break out. Sounded like somebody popping bubble rap.

Good grief! Glad you got it out, but that sounds like it wasn't supposed to go that way. At least the doctor didn't say "Uh-oh"...

Hope your recovery is fast.

Hey Kevin,
What no pics? It didn't happen if there is no video...
We like blood & gore here!

Just kidding... You know we don't have any ice in South Texas, Florida, California, etc. You can avoid this sort of suffering... Hang in there.

As my high school football coach would say - just take 2 salt tablets...
( I hated that guy).
