    Any kind of surgery is stressful.
    You have to be confident that the surgeon knows what he is doing.
    If not, look for someone else.
    You will come through this.
    We are all pulling for you.

    Prayers for you and the medical team. I know how you feel. Before i had my hip done. I was a nervous wreck. I talked to someone who had it done then the night before my surgery. She made me feel much better. Today 7 years later im glad i had it done.

    Thank you all. I have had one heck of a day. At 3 this afternoon the Neurosurgeon’s PA called me and ask if I had the CD of my images from the MRI, I told her”No, I thought you did!” In her defense someone else in the office was supposed to be taking care of things while she was out for medical reasons herself. Needless to say I had to make a 5.5 hour round trip to the VA hospital to get another copy of my MRI images. Luckily there was a water main break outside of the wife’s school this morning and the school closed about the time they were supposed to be opening and she was home to get me halfway across the state and back.

    Once again thank you all and I will post when I am conscious again.

    Prayers are with you today for complete success for you and your surgical team and a speedy recovery for you. I understand your thoughts about all of this but at some point you need to rely n your faith that all will go well. I know your Dad is on your mind and what happened with him weighs heavy on your mind, bt trust me, he will be with you today and watching over you. You'll remain in our prayers and we look forward to when you can let us know how you are doing.

    Well folks I am happy to report that I am out of surgery and resting in my Hospital room. The Dr seemed to be pleased with everything, though he did have to do more work than he expected. I have already been on my feet taking a few steps. And soon they are going to walk me up and down the hall. I feel like I have been beaten with a baseball bat, but it was so nice to stand up and feel the floor beneath my feet an not have searing pain all over my legs. Thank you all for you prayers. I believe they helped. I will stay overnight because the Dr wants to make sure there is no infection. Tomorrow morning I will be home. No heavy lifting for a while just lots of walking. It looks like I will have plenty of time to try out my mosin negant mold and my 220 gr 308 mold for subsonic 300 BLK loads

    I remember when Christiaan Barnard had the first patient survive a heart transplant. That was 1967. Look at far it's come since then.

    Your better off with the surgery then busting your head on the tub trying to take care of business in the middle of the night.

    It is hard to explain how good I feel. I haven’t taken any pain meds. The pain I do have from the surgery is so minor compared to the pain I was experiencing, it is insignificant. The night nurse just came in and offered me Percaset and I turned it down. A mild muscle relaxer and a couple of Tylenol will be fine.

    I can’t thank you all enough for the prayers. I was expecting so much more pain and discomfort. Now maybe I can once again enjoy life with the grandchildren and the wife.

    A bit late, I see. Glad things are looking up!
