"If I don't get stupid()and the break stays stabilized until I see the bone doc next week, I won't need surgery and the accompanying hardware. Going to attempt going upstairs tonight and the garage over the weekend."

Translation:
Here's how it will go if I don't F it up.
Here's how I am going to F it up. (This weekend)

I can totally identify except I generally don't tell people first. They have to catch me. Quote from my wife:" OK. Exactly which part of bouncing around the backyard on a dirtbike do you think qualifies as 'bed rest'?" She threatens to tie me down sometimes.

your knees didn't look dirty. :o

Snort.:lmao: You have one of those, too. I used my crutch to push the hydrostat pedal on our JD tractor after my foot surgery and heard about for days..

Thursday night, as our SIL is helping me into Mrs.C's Renegade, he asks her if she told me not to get hurt. Because our daughter says that every time he plays hockey after the incident of a puck, followed by a stick, in his mouth the day he left his mouth guard home. He hasn't gotten hurt since.

Parts are arriving daily. Too bad all I can do is watch them stack up.:shrug:

So, Mrs. C had her 'Inconvenience' surgery yesterday. She came through it fine. Her surgeon came to see me in the waiting room and she is just too bubbly for an old guy. After telling me everything looked great with Mrs.C, I had to do a step by step on how I effed up my ankle.

It was a long day, we left home at 1pm and didn't get back until after eight. Her surgery was scheduled at four and she'd had nothing to eat for 12 hours prior. I offered to stop at a BK on the way home but she reminded me that she'd set up the crockpot before we left. Still, I haven't had a Whopper in months and it sounded good.

She's doing great, though there is a bit of resentment that I'm not able to spoil her. I try, but there's not a hell of a lot I can do. That said, I dropped her off at the grocery store while I took and gassed up her car. For her birthday, I've always gotten her a Devils' Food chocolate cake with Pistachio frosting. Last year, they didn't have any. She found one today and figured we needed spoiling. It was supposed to go with dinner but it rounded out lunch.:tup:

Are you sure that ankle is broke? I think you fakin so you don't have to wait on her hand and foot. lol
Glad to her she's doing okay. :tup:

If it ain't, I deserve an Oscar just for being able to go from my light taupe skin color to freakin mayo toned when I bump the SOB.

And thanks.

So the $2200.00 worth of furniture we ordered last month arrived this morning. Two rocking recliners and a new couch. As I am no help at the moment, Mrs.C and the delivery guys got everything arranged to her liking.

I haven't tried the couch yet but it's looking like it may be tonight's sleeping spot. The rocking recliners, though, are the catsass. Except for how Mrs.C has them set up. Instead of next to each other, the foot rests are angled towards each other at about forty five degrees. Not a big deal normally, but she managed to walk into my Aircast when she got out of her chair.

OMG, I felt that through the top of my head and saw stars. If I was still wearing my smart watch, the heart rate alarm would have gone off. It took almost forty five minutes for the pain to subside.

All I got from her was, 'Oops' and 'I didn't bump it that hard'. If I'd had the power of speech, I would have offered to punch her latest stitches.

As far as the lathe goes, the cover to the gear case is held on by a hook and square 1/4-20 nut. It's supposed to be a knurled brass nut. I happened to find the correct nut on fleabay for $50. For $50, I can get a hunk of brass round stock and make a bunch of them.

I went back to the bone doc today. Heard what I didn't want to hear. The break has not stabilized and I never got out to the garage or down to the basement. X-rays showed the fibula has moved, so surgery. That's tentatively scheduled for Monday. I earned a plate and several more screws in my left foot.

I can kiss spring time riding good bye.

Sux. :ohno:

Oh man, That sucks.

welcome to the couch beside me. after my back surgery, riding is out until at least May per my DR.

I had the surgery today. It's a new kind of pain. A plate and five new screws. I also tore the deltoid ligament when I went down, so that got fixed, too.

I'm still kind of doped up and the many naps since I got home have been wonderful.

Is Mrs. Cheesy doing well enough to look after you ,or has Buster been promoted to chief cook and bottle washer ? You guys have been through the wringer lately

Speedy recovery to you, cheesy, take it slow and take your meds....it makes the pain a lot more tolerable.

Don't be this guy!
