Tim

SONOFA!!!

The last time my wife skiid - she blew out her knee and ended up with a new ACL.... nothing compared to what you're going through.

Listen to the doc - be diligent about the rehab.

What things can you do sitting down? Perhaps put some time into the store's website? Maybe get a jump on some computer work / spread sheets / taxes / etc for the store? Any person book keeping need to be done? Any online training you're interested in?

Damned - stinks man - let us know if we can help.

Re: Well Shite

Here is how I see stuff like this in my own life...

It could have been worse... You are alive, with people who care about you and with time... You will get better.

Re: Well Shite

Good talking to you this morning Tim, sit back, read your magazines and drink your coffee and keep that leg raised. You can vent here anytime, many of us have been in a similiar boat and also needed support. Best wishes for a speedy recovery!

Re: Well Shite

Well Tim from one Pontiac 455 guy to another, as well as one cripple to a fellow new cripple, if you have some time off and can get UP here for a vacation, the shop is open to you. If I were closer I would come and lend a hand down there, but I have a very hard time getting away from here. Besides you could probably use some off time, right? You can hang out, and BS while we get the LeMans in shape.

I hope you heal better than I did, I am not envious of where you broke it and what its going to be like. Hang in there and do your best to stay positive. Look on the bright side, you can get a placard for the car that lets you park up front! Its not a setback, its a respite from the rat race.

Thanks man, I was planning on doing cab corners and some other rust issues on my Z71, but it looks like that money will be going towards what insurance won't cover. It may just have to rust into midwestern oblivian. Wish I could get up there to see your Poncho collection, I loves me some Indians.

Re: Well Shite

That sucks big time. Being somewhat gimpish myself, I have a good idea of what you're up against. How bad is this screwing you, are you able to work?

Unfortunately , no. But I am the bookkeeper for our store and I have a lot of catching up to do.

Re: Well Shite

bruises (and broken bones) heal, chicks dig scars, and glory is forever.... skiing after hip replacement - dang man, you're a tough SOB.

I just love skiing, but it looks like I my have to find another way to fly.

Re: Well Shite

Tim, sorry to hear about your injury. Get well soon.

Re: Well Shite

Man, that is rough. Things do have a way of working themselves out. Best advise, and many have already said it, is to do what the docs say, don't try to fix stuff yourself, and stick with the rehab. Of course with the hip situation you already know all of this stuff. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Re: Well Shite

I've done the tib-fib thing, just the other end. It seemed like an eternity, but I got back pretty damn close to 100%.
Hang in there, and keep the grey matter exercised while you heal.

Re: Well Shite

Sonny Bono made my mind up about snow skiing. You've cemented my decision. Hang in there

Re: Well Shite

Dude, that sucks. Plain and simple.

Keep your head up, stick with cars, and forget about skiing. It's overrated anyway.
