Good morning Mark. Bruce does nice work. How's your truck coming along?
I'm creeping along slowly, trying to not catch any of the crap going around.

Hi Ken:
Glad you got a set from Bruce before he moved on from Terry's. I am waiting for a shoulder replacement at University of Michigan, but they are cancelling all elective surgeries because of the Coronavirus. My friends at Brothers Custom Automotive I Troy, Michigan picked up my coe 2 weeks ago and took it to their shop to finish up what I couldn't physically do while awaiting surgery.
I can't and don't want to leave my house while the stay at home orders are in effect here. Haven't caught anything yet, and don't plan on it. Old guys need to be especially cautious!

Regards, Mark.

I am glad I did it. I only took 3 oxycodone pills for pain. And I probably didn't need that. I used plenty of ice. I was able to sleep in my bed the first night home and every night. When this virus got worse I stopped going to physical therapy. I am trying to replicate everything at home. I have no shoulder pain. But I have to increase my strength. It is easier to crawl under my trucks and easier to get up off the ground..... Good luck! You'll be glad you did it.

Thanks for the words of encouragement. My sister has had her shoulder done, and my Dad, who just turned 101 in February had his done years ago. He delights in showing me how high he can raise his arm now. I can't wait!!
Maybe I will get a meadow green sling to wear out of the hospital.
Regards, Mark.

If it goes anything like my knee surgeries, you'll be happy you did it. I had both knees done a month apart, almost ten year ago and they both still work great.
Good luck, Hope I haven't hijacked anyone's thread.
Ken.

As for seats, I like high back seats. Everything I've had that had low back seats got changed out for high backs, They are just so much more comfortable.

Looking good. Good to hear you are working again. I agree about the high back seats. They have always been more comfortable for me. Keep us posted.

A few months ago I was at Mid Fifty F100s in Kingman Arizona and he's got an F350 with a box on it. I wish I had taken a picture of it. It looks great. I'll see if he'll take some pictures of it.
Thanks, Ken.
