Let me be the First to reply To a true Bud, whom I first met right here & have shared many laffs with since ! My sympathies extend due your having to endure all that since feb,, as other friends who have endured the Rot. Cuff surgery note those same miserable pains & not being able to lift an affected arm above the navel. It falls within the adage " Life's Great.. it's just the aging that's the Bitch."
But see, it's with your indomitable spirit that you already have certain ladies humored to the point of wanting to ' work out together soon.'
Game on .. and I predict the final inspiration to a full speedy recovery will come about when a young hottie "Nurse Feelgood" dedicates herself- to taking matters into her capable hands... tsk tsk
The proverbial 'Candy Stripers' experience awaits you, Good Sir.. :banana:
Now what was the name of that extended-stay hospital ?....
Ahh.. wait you can explain more in Em, now that I know you can use that key board..
All the Best, Staffy
