Dang, sorry to hear it's taking that long, the quicker you can get in, and get it fixed, the quicker you'll be back in the saddle. Rekon a small bribe may rush them up a little?

Also rodent hair (and dandruff). It's amazing: you leave out one little ingredient, and the entire recipe can be ruined.

Just got home from the surgical hospital filing papers and seeing the DR. We settled on surgery for March 28th. Now all thats left is to figure out how to cover 6 weeks o wages while im healing up. I bring home 500 a weeks so i gotta scrunge up 3000 to pay house rent, my storage rent and the shop space rent. Im gonna call around to some of the vet agencies to see if theres any help there.
Someone had mentioned a Go Fund Me thing to which i am not opposed to. Id be very gratefully humbled. HOWEVER i dont want anyone to start one without first getting Franks blessings. I love this forum and love helping with tech question if i can but dont want to be disrepectful.. know what i mean??
I still got a few bikes that "I THINK" i can get in and out before march 28th so if tgat happens itll be a god sent gift. Gotta hop on the phone and call some folks and see if theyre ready to drop off bikes.

When I was diagnosed with Hodgkin's Disease (Lymphatic Cancer) I looked at what the expected outcomes where and at least on a cerebral level knew that I'd come out just fine.
A good friend was going to need a triple bypass for his clogged arteries and did something similar, he learned that this was all considered "routine" which also allowed him to get past the angst of getting his chest opened up.
In either case we knew that the stats and odds where in our favor. This doesn't negate the fear of the unknowns that could possibly happen but it does give hope that chances are everything will turn out just fine. We put our faith in science and it worked out well for both of us.
You got this one! It's a common procedure that's easily tolerated by folks who are in even far worse condition than you are. Dwelling on the "what if this goes wrong?" stuff isn't going to get you anywhere since it rarely happens in real life.
Yeah, your body is being "invaded" on some level, don't dwell on that part and stick with the odds, it'll be over before you know it.

Dang Chuck; I haven't been active for quite awhile and when I do log in I see this. Please know my thoughts are with you and I'm sure you'll come out of everything just fine. Like others said, pay attention to doing the physical therapy without fail. And I agree, the waiting is awful but know there is a very bright light at that tunnel and once you are through it you'll look back and say wow. At least that's what I say every time I look at the scar on my leg from thinking I was still 21 and could roller skate with the kids back in 2019.
