New Knee for the Chief

[Juju]

It's official--in late August, the Chief will get a brand new knee, courtesy of the U.S. Navy. Let's hear it for modern orthopedic medicine and the miracle of titanium! :yay: :yay: :yay:

Juju: If you weren't so rough on the old man maybe he would have held together a little bit better. :yes:

[Nana]

You go Earl!!!! You will love the improvement and will wonder why you put it off once that baby heals up!

[spiritdream]

Good luck Earl!!

[Juju]

Juju: If you weren't so rough on the old man maybe he would have held together a little bit better. :yes:

Are you kidding me, TW? He'd be nothing if it weren't for me! (Umm, don't tell him that, OK? )

[Gorilla]

Chief good luck. Juju will take great care of you. Trike lookin better all ready?

[skuuter]

CONGRATS, and wishin' Him a Really Speedy Recovery....

Im still waiting on a brain replacement.

Good for the Chief!! Have him convince the Captain to get his redone! Don't tell anybody, Capt. Mac is a hospital WHIMP!

[Gorilla]

John hope the surgery goes well for Honey.

Joan Capt is not the only hospital whimp. This Capt is also.

Wow, John--that's any minute now. Best wishes to Honey for a smooth surgery and quick recovery!

OMG, it's taken Earl a couple of years to be ready for this. It's not so much the surgery, but the forced down time afterwards. He doesn't like the idea of having to sit around the house when he could be riding.

So I DEFINITELY have to keep an eye on my trike keys!:eek:

[Nana]

No Juju...... you just need to get him that beautiful 1300 trike Zook has for sale. It's all set up with fairing, radio, etc........ guy toys! Then your Goldie is safe

[retdpd]

I HAD REPLACED 2 YEARS AGO

Oh he won't be sitting around much.....there's a lot of physical therapy

The knee will works great-- just wished they would have put a grease fitting on the side to keep it lubed

Probably gonna get the other done in the next year.

"If I only knew I was going to live this long I would have definately taken better care of myself"

[Mr.Wizard]

Ohhhh... That's why he was ogling all those shiny trikes at TT3.

Don't worry Chief... when I was 35 I had to crawl on my hands and knees to get from one room to the other until I said yes to the pacemaker some 5 years later, now 54 and getting my third one soon and still doing hand springs.

Tell them to slip you an extra Valium then you won't care if they do both at the same time.
