Guess I'll be down for a while!!

Monday this week I had a total knee replacement. I'm already having withdrawals from not being in my garage. Hopefully this won't put me out of commission for long. Right now I'm so darn sore that it's a real effort to move.

I hope all you guys have your cameras handy, cause I need the entertainment seeing what you're doing. [P

Thanks to all for a great site. Glad I found it.

Went through a set back myself here a while back. These guys were great keeping me entertained. Good luck with the new parts.

(I am guessing the old parts will end up at a swap meet.)

Hang in there Drewski. You'll be back in action in a while. In the mean time, you can plot and plan on your projects. Hope ya feel better.

Thanks guys,

Bonehead you won't see those parts at the swap meet. The doc. said I was very close to a complete lockup on that knee. I won't be trying to pass off that junk!

I may bore you guys over the next few days with some pics. made back in the day. I've got way too much time on my hands for a while.

Again thanks, to a great bunch of people.

So how long they give ya before you can build? You can always rebuild a carb at the kitchen table.

Looks like 4-6 wks and longer before I get back to where I need (want) to be. I'd like to be able to walk without limping and ride my bike without the fear of dropping it at a traffic light

My wife still remembers the time I had 3 wiring harnesses all over the living room trying to make one good harness. Good thing, I have a wife that also enjoys my hobby.

Take care of yourself and don't overdo it while you are healing. You will probably feel better and more like working on your projects with less pain. Good luck and Godspeed to your healing.

Take you're time and rehab it right you don't want go through it again. Good luck, and you know we never get bored with pics.

A hotrodding friend of mine is on his second set. He went through surgery last year, and until then I did not know he had it done 20 years before as well. He is doing very well again, and I think the hardware is better now.

Good luck, it will be just like replacing an old car part with a new one. You'll be chasing the nurses around soon!
