No Shop for 10 Weeks
I am sitting in a hospital bed waiting to run tests. On Tuesday, they operate on my left foot due to something called Charcot which is a collapse of the bones in my feet. I will get screws and plates and will be non weight bearing for 10 weeks. This sucks but my foot will.be better.

Hope for a quick return BE, mobility restrictions are always a bummer, especially for the walking bits.

Oh man, feet are a tough one to heal. Best of luck and listen to your docs! Failure to follow recommendations just leads to longer recovery times!!

it's hell getting old. like ryan said listen to the doc's, a problem i always have 😏

Praying for a successful surgery and strength and patience with the recovery.
Hoping things went well, or will go well. Not sure of your surgical time.
I've been mostly out of my shop for way too long. Went in the hospital a year ago last August, got out of the rehab center in seems like not that long ago, but I think it was April or May following. Since it's been one thing or another. This older and wiser crap isn't what I imagined. Getting my pay back for all those years when I said I'd sleep when I was dead, and rode my body like a rented Donkey, all while smoking like a chimney. Never had any issues when I was younger. What they say is true, it's accumulative. Our past sins come to haunt us when we are least able to fight it off.

My surgery is around 1pm or about 2-3 hours and is supposed to take 4ish hours. Hope they have good drugs. Waiting is terrible!!!
The worst thing in my mind is the waiting room and 2 year old back issues of "People" magazine....
Best wishes!
