Thanks to all!!! Well I made it home fine although it took about 3+ hours to get back from the hospital, all the tourists headed to the Cape for the weekend. My wife had to drive and when we got home we found out the cellar was partially flooded since the gutters have been removed for the addition/renovation. All is pretty well back to normal now, will be on crutches for a week or so. I expected a 2-3" incision, I got a 12" incision!!! I'm so lucky!!! The operation went well and a lot of scar tissue and "garbage" was removed by the surgeon (he is a hunter by the way) the computer mouse died from the moisture I think (the computer is in the cellar because of the construction) but I had another and luckily I was able to get it working. Thanks for all the prayers and thoughts guys, I am sure they helped..And thanks Mitchell!!! I'll be waiting for the mailman every day!!! It will be something to look forward to!! Something from you and H&R is sending me my replacement checkered TDC buttstock. Well, got to go, my hip and incision are telling me I have been sitting long enough, it's good to be back....<><.... :grin:
