Ron's in the Hospital

[patocazador]

If they're smart, they'll give up a draft pick to get Mike Glennon from Tampa. He's already started and won several NFL games. He's gooney-looking but he's good.

 

[Muley Hunter]

Colorado loves gooney looking. Just look at Jon.

 

[exMember]

HA! You take a look at 'yer self lately ol man? :lol!:   Damn ol hugh glass was purdier than you AFTER his 'bar 'ttack.

 

[Muley Hunter]

Bar attack might help my looks.

 

[RonRC]

Going after the quarterback position would be presumptuous of me, like trying out to be a strong forward with the Nuggets.

Before this knee injury, I ran the 40 in 4.27.....days.
Ron

 

[Muley Hunter]

I haven't run in 30 years. Running is for kids.

 

[Old Smoke]

It's been a few years, but best was 4.5 in the 40. Fastest on the team! In the 100 not so much.

 

[BigAl52]

Gee Ron with the help of that walker you can bring home 2 or three new guns now. Al

 

[RonRC]

Yes, but when was the last time you saw a mountain man in the high country using a dang walker?

I'm getting around better with a cane as I have learned to lock the knee and not permit any bending. If I let it bend, then I start muttering those epithets: "Holy, moly that stings!"

Epithets? Aren't they the ornamental, military shoulder pieces on a uniform?

Ron

 

[patocazador]

Yes Ron, you're right.  Those disguised cuss words are epaulets. :blah:

 

[sqezer]

Hang in there Ron.

 

[BigAl52]

Wish I could disguise my cuss words. Im always blurting them out at those improper moments. Like right when the wife sneaks into the scene. Al

 

[GLenn]

This is what I mentioned a week or so back about the parts ans pieces letting me down.
Hang tight there Ron and with your attitude you will do just fine.
Glenn

 

[RonRC]

Thanks, again, gentlemen, for you comments and good humor!

Ron

 

[RonRC]

The knee repair is scheduled for Wednesday. They stitch, then staple the tendon to the bone. The staple comes out in about a week. The stitches stay in for about 4 weeks. Physical therapy starts in 4 weeks, but the knee immobilizer stays on for months.
After they finish playing with my knees, the cardiologist can do the catheter angiogram while I am still in the hospital. I will know Monday if the timing of the two procedures can be coordinated. The knee reattachment takes about 6 months to fully heal.

We can call all this an "unanticipated adventure."
Ron

 

[BigAl52]

Man Ron little did you know they would be using classroom tools to put you back together again. 6 months you mean we gotta wait til September to go shoot again. Now that just aint right. Al

 

[RonRC]

The 6 months is for full healing so that I really can stress the quads. I will be out shooting long before then. I figure that there will be about 6 weeks post surgery and physical therapy for the valve before I can start doing some regular activities. So, by June, I should be shooting, but not running.

well since that leg has to me straight for that long, you can learn how to shoot sitting down and use your toes as a rest. I suggest non flammable socks however :lol:

 

[RonRC]

You are a very creative fellow, Jonathan. I hadn't thought about that!

Unless your guns have hastalloy barrels, best put down a good layer of corrosion inhibitor on the bottom of the barrel.  That toe funk could really rust up!
