While Dave takes care of the Ranger, I’ll take care of the house - party at Bill’s!Sure you'll come up and take care of his Ranger. I see how you are.
Godspeed brother welcome to the metal leg clubThey will be sawing my hip joint out first thing tomorrow and hopefully installing a new steel version in its place.
The joint they showed me was a chrome looking gadget and I did inquire to see if they had the sport blackout version, but the surgeon said no, just the chrome look, so it isn't going to match the truck, bummer...
I had a first cousin who never came home from his knee replacement surgery (my sister actually found him dead in his recovery room, suboptimal). So if blood clots after joint replacement run in the family and I don't make it, I just wanted to make sure anyone I might have slighted along the way here knows, it was me not you.
Cheers, see you all next week sometime.

Even now medicine has come a long way from just a year ago in orthopedics so you’ll be ok just stay strongThey will be sawing my hip joint out first thing tomorrow and hopefully installing a new steel version in its place.

Let me know when and I'll round up the Boise State Bronco's.
The tooling necessary to do these procedures is pretty mind blowing. Guides, Templates, tools. What is really nuts is the manufacture and tolerances involved for the implants themselves. Full traceability from metal ingot to sterilized kitted implantable devices.
Good luck Bill!! At least you'll know your Ranger is safe and will be in one piece. Your house on the other hand, not so much.
Mine is at Treasure Valley Hospital. A bunch of orthopedic surgeons own it and all they do at the hospital is knees, hips and shoulders. It gets rave reviews, I will report back.
I heard that but figured they were making it up…Good luck...not a fun trip....I had that done when I was 37...beat up my left hip doing stupid things....that wore out 5 years later and had to do a revision....I'm 64 now and hope that was my last replacement...BTW, my doctor explained to me that while the patient is out and hip is cut off, they place your leg up like you're doing a vertical split so they can hammer that bionic joint into your hip...imagine that...
Probably be the only time I get a pass for that, but on second thought, maybe I better lock up all the guns before I leave. I never did give her the combo to the safe.
I am on the low dose aspirin. I also just finished the T-1 checklist, it is right out of the movie Andromeda Strain, double disinfectant shower, you name it. I feel like they are sending me to space. Thanks for the tip though, it is probably my biggest reservation. But I think this guy is pretty good, sure hope so.
