Thank you Rich, I am making good progress I just didn't realize it was going to take so long to get such a long slip in the OR would requiring specialized doctor. What I thought would be weeks turned out to be many months and I thought that I would be done with the surgical work over the winter and I would be now into the final stages of getting into a prosthetic. Instead it's been two weeks since the operation and another six more months to go. This is a rough time a year to be laid up.
That's what I get for not doing my research first and knowing how long it would take schedule. All Sure am looking to being able to get downstairs easily so I can enjoy the radio again. 73, Gary KA1J > Glad to hear you are making good progress....
