Pre-Geezer surgery

[islandpiper]

My son Mike, a pre-geezer, had shoulder surgery today. Ouch! It was all scope, so things are different than they used to be. His recovery should be faster then the old style "open joint" surgery.

I'm betting he'll milk it and get all the attention he can from his bride. heck, I always do.

Here's wishing a speedy recovery.




Milk it a bit, you don't want to re-injure it. :lol:

Problem is, when we are milking it for all it's worth and thinking we are so smart---THEY know exactly what were doing.

Piper San, please tell young Mikey that we all wish him well, and to get well by sipping Taliskers.
PS: If he can't do the latter, I'll do it for him in absentia - or in any other locale.

I have passed your posts on to Mike. He says THANKS for the good thoughts. I never taught him how to sip Talisker. I did teach him how to bait a hook and split firewood, however.

He had a nerve block in the arm and "twilight" anesthesia and he was overjoyed when he could feel his fingers again yesterday about noon.

He and his wife have been living in NW wisconsin and working in Minneapolis. He has taken a new position with a large design/build firm in Omaha and they will be there and back to work by about the 15th of the month. He'll probably have the only pirogue in Nebraska, might be a good platform for walleye fishing. Time will tell.

Here's Mike. This was during the SE Louisiana Icecapades at Port Vincent this year. He has been favoring that left shoulder, as shown by his use of the right arm to lift the dutch oven lid. I think his job at this point was to guard the D O from hungry Mississippians and professional pirogue builders. Simmering in that pot is a whole chicken and about 4 1/2 pounds of cut up chicken on a double pack of stuffing mix and some secret spices. piper

Good looking young man healthy & intelligent. (Sure a good thing both kids are like Mom!) :wink:

We don't know where that receeding hairline came from as neither Mom or Dad are bald. (grey, yes.....but not bald).

He got his math skills from Mom and his patience and understanding nature of the stupidity of portions of the population from me.
