We can rebuild him. We have the technology

The cane works good to push down on the main power switch on a power bar. The grabber should actually be sold to hang mini Christmas lights on indoor curtain rods. The possibilities are endless!

This is funny!!

Sister didn't want it back

Ya think?!!

My son dug out his 'Clapper' for my bedside light today

Here you are, @59billy . One more day and you'll be on the healing side. Finish those last minute chores and get ready to rock and roll!

Do you have a surgery time yet? I may have missed it! Wishing you a quiet, peaceful day with loved ones, and lots of rest for your body.

 

[59billy]

@SarahBee they are supposed to call me this afternoon with a time. I hate the wait, but it's part of the deal.

I'm as ready as I can be, except for whatever I've forgotten. I'll be home alone most of the day, then LOML is taking the rest of the week off to be my Responsible Adult at the hospital and to be here when home care comes Friday. It's so nice to have a smart person looking out for me!

Definitely ready to rock and roll!

Last night I got a new perspective on the "normal relations" thing. It's much better for the man to have a bum hip than the woman. Because geometry and anatomy.

Also, endorphins are better than opiates.

That feeling when you want to reply to a thread but think you might not be smart enough.

NopeI'm not as smart as I look.

This is totally up to you, billy, but feel free to start your recovery thread today,
if you feel it will be easier for you post op to have it up and running....
We can leave you the Recovery Guidelines, which I'm sure you've probably scanned by now.
You'll get well wishers over there also. Your choice....just know you're welcome over there since you're down to the day before surgery.

I'll probably do that. I also need to assign someone to click "agree" on every post by you and @Mojo333 until I get back online.

Just wanted to say good luck tomorrow Billy! Not sure when I'll get around to checking the site so figured I'd send you best wishes now. You've got this!

 

[Hoppy Nanny]

Good luck... hope you get an early time slot do by tomorrow evening all this anxiety & worry will be a distant memory xx

I've used my cane for a grabber and for a dressing stick - and to lock the passenger door on my truck!

Definitely use my cane to pull up my britches.

Especially in the bathroom!

Good luck tomorrow! Have enjoyed reading this thread and will watch for you on the other side! 42 days and counting

 

[59billy]

Arrival time 7:15 tomorrow!

Now I'm in the grey area between pre and recovery!

Allowing myself a Guinness. After all, it builds strength!

 

[Carriemay60]

Happy you got an early call time. Sure helps with the nerves! How long do they say you'll stay in? What are you having for your last meal?
Guiness is a great choice! I had that Rx'd with one of my babies.

 

[59billy]

There used to be ads showing manly working men with the caption "Guinness for Strength". At any rate, it's fine stuff!

OS and his ACNP both made it sound like 2,3 days total. The early show time lets me dare hope for Wednesday.

Last meal is meatloaf and broccoli -- something that will stay calm on my tummy. (But then, my meatloaf has shallots and red wine.)

 

[Carriemay60]

I love a good meatloaf but will pass on the wine in it

 

[SarahBee]

Hope your meatloaf is better than the middle school escapee I had after surgery last week, @59billy . Just sayin'
