Just be sure you do the physical therapy.... that helps so much even though it seems like it is such a slow pace. I am so glad I did it with my back.
Surgeon told me to get to therapy within 3 days of the surgery! He said that is most important!

Plenty of news. None good. Oh yeah, good morning Yogi.

I went to check on it yesterday, the transmission is out and the replacement ready to go it. The guy who was helping, dropped a brake drum on his foot, so he hasn't finished it. I talked to the owner yesterday, and he is going to finish it himself, starting today. I should see it Saturday again.

I still have a fluid change and tune up to do on it, but the weather is changing, so I got on his butt yesterday to finish it. Not entirely ecstatic on the progress.

Hope the knee goes well. Anymore, I hate surgeries. I've had 9 total, and could go without anymore. Good luck.

Aww.... Bad luck, but even it takes a bit, it could be yourself that got twisted up-do you have a garage that you can get in out of the weather?

Yes, there is a garage (2 car) at the lake house. I just didn't want to go up there to do a tune up, but if it starts to cool off too much, will have to resort to that. It's just an 90 mile round trip for nothing. I'm just trying to keep from having to spend too much time with the other half. She tends to get my blood boiling most of the time. And not in a good way. lol.

I think the better question is if you get a catheter. LOL

I was adamant about no catheters with both of my surgeries. I don't need anything going in.... just out.
