well, as some of you may remember, i blewout my ACL in my right knee back in july and needed surgery.  my surgery took place last wednesday and everything is going good. pain and swelling is down a lot and im finally able to start weening myself off of the pain killers.  ill still be off work for 4-6 weeks yet as im still on crutches but hoefully, i can get rid of them in the next day or so, anyway just thought id say hi

  good luck, 4-6 weeks off I would be able to get some things done on the cars, I wonder if I could get knee surgery

i thought so too, right now though i can barely walk let alone do any restro work. i cant even get into my truck yet. but im hoping to rebuild my 600 holley carb this weekend

Good to hear that you're recovering nicely.
Now, no running for quite a while.

Count your blessings. With the way things are these days, having a job to come back to is actually a pretty fortunate thing.

A friend of mine's neighbor's son just returned from Walter Reed after being there for 8 months. He had both legs mangled in an IED explosion in Iraq. Both were amputated; one he lost between the hip and knee, the other just below the knee. Somebody'd always be willing to switch places with us.

FYI, I severed my left Achilles tendon in May 2004, and it took forever to get back on my feet. I'm still not right, but, like I said, it could be worse.

Continued success on your recovery!

that sure beats rolling around for the rest of your life.  (No offense to our wheeled members)

seeing as though you will be able to work on your car, maybe you can work on sending me what you sold me or sending back my $90. Don't screw over a fellow mopar (Charger) fan.
