Hello, I'm back! :)

G.T. · 09-19-2009, 03:40 PM

Hello to all! Well, I just got home from the hospital... Had a three hour surgury to where they fuzed my left foot bones together with a long (5"???) stainless steel screw, and a bone graft from my hip!! I didn't think about it at the time, but if I could have, I would have had them take a bit extra for a mag bottom, or maybe even a set of grips... can't get more personialized then that!!

Actually, the hip surgury hurts a bit worse then the foot!!They did give me a little red push scooter (again, almost got arrested, and/or killed, on it the first time!!

) so, I'll be able to get around a bit better then before... There are three or four forum customers that have waited quite awhile for me to get things done, I'll be wearing out wheels for them now.. I'm on the mend, I'll be in touch soon!

Thanks for the support of my forum friend who were aware of my health issues... Great bunch of guys here! Best to all, til...lat'r....GT

GT, Best wishes for a speedy recovery, but now you can speed around the shows on your fancy red scooter. Get a golf cart and you'd fit right in at Sun City. Tom
