I'm going into the hospital for knee replacement surgery on Monday.5:00. This time it's the right knee so I know what's ahead and it's freakin brutal. I won't have access to the site so I'll be a way for a while so see you dudes later. I'll sure miss those expensive cable debates... lol
But no kidding I learned and gained a lot from being here and when I start to recoup I'll be back. LEW

Oh, all the gear will be mothballed w/ sheets and covers for dust and whatever.

    good luck, Lew, hope everything goes well, and speedy recovery to you.

    I'm sure some of the guys would be happy to come and have cable debates with your doctor in the OR during your procedure.

    I see a Bo Jackson ad in your future- "Lew knows new knees"

    Though I'm sure my attempt at humor will hurt more than your recovery, good luck
    anyway!
    So, are you willing to put forth a little effort or are you happy sitting in your skeptical poo pile?

    Being that it's wacky election season I've been tabulating the results and they look good so far. Scotty, you must have had this done because they are (1st3 days) the worst of it and when the femoral nerve block thing is either removed or wears off it's the rawest of pain one can imagine. I was so bad the dilaudid did nothing and they upped to morphine and I got some relief. Once all over and you master the p/t it's like having a new knee. Again thanks for the well wishes... Side note because of this I'm missing out on my concert to see Hot Tuna, bummed for sure.

    LAP TOP, guys/gals you really don't get how poor I really am. Working off a 25 y/o Gateway w/ a new hard drive and still using Windows XP. Smart phone nope, just the simplest of flip phones which I can use and charge at bedside. W/me poverty line is a reality and I still managed to amass what most around here would be considered the leading edge to high -endvile. wa wa wa
    Maybe we should have one of those money pledge drives like they did in Breaking Bad to get me into the mid 21st century.... Thanks again for all the well wishes. I'm going out, now for the last ride for me in a long time for some garage sale shopping. I can't eat, I like food and already it's a problem..
