Out for a few days
 

I will be off the forum, hopefully only for a couple of days. I am getting a new knee tomorrow. I have been told that recovery is pretty quick, so I will again be able to inflict myself upon you pretty soon.

I have heard that there are rumors afloat that I have acquired a Cartridge Counter. Let me put the rumors to rest and tell you it is true, and it is a dandy…right as rain and never been messed with. I have been paying it off over the last few months and was able to pick it up in Reno (it wasn’t at the show…I started the acquisition process in California). I want to get some photos posted, but getting stuff done before I go in for surgery so Sarah won’t be stuck with my chores has taken up most of my time. I will try to get some quality shots as soon as I can.

So, if during your busy day tomorrow you happen to send a kind thought or two my way it will be most appreciated and I know the Boss will be listening.

Thanks and God bless,
Ron

Good luck with your surgery, Ron. My wife had two knee replacements (two years apart) and rehab is really vital. Our advice is to set up a stationary bike in front of the TV and rent "Victory at Sea" and "Band of Brothers". All the best, Norm

Ron
I had both of mine replaced in Dec. Can't say it's much fun. I'm sure you will do great. You are in our thoughts and prayers. Bill

Best wishes, Ron. Hurry back, we'll miss you!

FN

Wish you well with the knee.

Good luck Ron!
 

We're all pulling for you!!! :thumbup:.... Best to you Ron, til...lat'r...GT

Ron -

Congratulations on the cartridge counter, and best wishes for a speedy recovery!

Knee replacement
 

Ron,

Good luck with the knee. I need a new one, but my orthopedic surgon won't do it I have a clotting problem. The solution walk with a cane!

My best to you and your wife.

Carl

my best to you......get well soon

Ron, you'll see this later I am sure, told its not much fun, but my mother (who is just a bit older than you, had us kids young) was so grateful afterwards!


Ed

God speed Ron.

Neil

My mom had her knee replaced 22 years ago, and the same surgeon replaced it again last year!

The old one had an estimated life of 15 years, so can't complain!

The current procedure is far and away better than it was years ago.

Best wishes for a fast recovery. Work hard at Physical Therapy. It's literally a pain, but it's the path back!

Marc

Good luck Ron. I hope your recovery is fast and trouble free.

Ron,

good luck - may it be like a new kid again !!!

my next door retired army colonel has had both knees done in last two years and he seems ok now

still dresses his lawn himself to milspec twice a week

Bill

Our thoughts with you for the knee replacement. My wife had one done a couple of years ago and physical therapy is the key to recovery. Congrats on the cartridge counter too.

Charlie

Best wishes, Ron :thumbup:

Hi Ron..!

Jen's and my thoughts are with you for a speedy recovery!!! We'll be thinking of you - and remember, the best therapy for your knee would be to start chasing the nurses around the ward..? Just sayin'... ;)

John

Debbie had both done. Lost 60lbs from ability to walk again.

Ron, Thoughts and prayers with you. Look forward to your speedy return. Vince

Ron, Look forward to seeing your comments again soon on the Forum, as you get the ole "toggle action" reactivated. Tom

Best wishes for a speedy recovery.

Good luck Ron!

Good luck Ron. I hope your recovery is fast and will be back soon.
Alf.

Good Luck, Ron!

Well, today is yesterdays tomorrow. Ron, hope that all went well with the opn. You have been such a mentor to so many. Get well soon and get your skinny butt back here. We miss you already.

:cheers:

My prayers are with your Ron for a speedy recovery. I think I will face the same surgery somewhere down the road... Show me how the speedy recovery thing is supposed to work!

Ron,
I had major back surgery a year ago. Life is good now. I should have done it years ago. Put all things in the hands of the Lord and you will be fine. Pul the Cartridge counter in my hands for safe keeping and all will be fine.

Mike

Permit me to add my wishes for a safe operation and speedy recovery. You are a very important part of our Forum and every day you will be missed.
