It may take me a while to get back to the computer, as I can tolerate it only about once a day for a short while. It's all good now, the left leg was temporarily paralyzed but is coming back slowly and I should get out of this with a need for a shillelagh only. Sorry bout disappearing from the face of the earth for awhile...and guys, here's some advice- don't get older, it's like a train wreck in slow motion!! I certainly missed reading the Boards!!

Bad backs...I know what you mean. I wouldn't worry too much about leaving abruptly, those things happen. Just glad you made it back!! While aging may be likened unto a slow motion train wreck, it still beats the alternative!!!

Just can't seem to slow it down as much as I want. Time flies these days don't it? I hope and pray you feel better really soon.

And how well I know that! Hey Bill doesn't Geezerhood Suck? Here I am wide awake at 2:44 AM local Thanks to a pill I took at 8:30 PM local which resulted in my crashing in a chair for 4 hours or so and waking up frozen and stiff and unable to sleep when I should be? As my buddy always says at least I ain't getting my mail from the groundhog! Get Well Bill! from another old geezer Bill!

You know you're a milsurp nut when the doc limits you to lifting 10 lbs. and your first thought is......"Hmmm, I wonder what a Garand weighs?"

My first thought upon getting the eyepatch off was "how long before I can shoot a hard kicking rifle without squirting my new lens downrange".

Another boat "ate it" big time, folded, ejected everyone. One guy got a tooth knocked out and another came really close to drowning. Had I not gotten the bartending gig, I would have been a raft guide! Hope you recover soon Bill, hsc

I hope your doctor gave you a set of exercises to get your physical conditioning back. It's amazing how fast it deteriorates when you haven't been doing anything. When I had abdominal surgery four years ago, I asked the doc what I could do and he said: "Just piddle around".

Still, 8 weeks in a sling and pad, even with PT left me deconditioned. But then, I am nearly 66 and never was anything but a puny little guy anyhow. Early rehab is great, professionally monitored.
