Stay strong man!
I have had 5 surgeries on various pieces and parts over the years. The last was fun. I tore my quadricep muscle completely off. It was work related and I was out for 7 months.
Lots of computer and snake time and some goofy, pain med induced posting on snake boards.
I'm back at 100% again and I'm still kicking butt so you'll be back too!
Rest up and enjoy the smell of Brainerd in the summer.
I probably won't see you at the expo next weekend.
