2009 a year I won't forget

[deere755]

I am definately ready for this year to be over. It was a wet spring and we had a terrible time getting everything planted, then I had my stroke followed by 2 surgeries one being a quadruple bi pass. Fall has been fun getting all the crops in with the high moisture content and wet field conditions, and I finally get back to work and hurt my shoulder. Luckily I didn't tear my rotator cuff but I did injure it. The Dr. said I will need a couple weeks of therapy and then I will be back to work again. I also had a root canal done in the middle of it all. I should be a new man by the time 2010 comes around. Up until this year I can't remember being off work for an illness and now I will have missed 3 and 1/2 monthes worth. My wife jokes that she put a new motor and transmition in me and now my front fender is falling off. Makes me dread getting old even more LOL.

Ouch.

I'm still counting my blessings, seeing many of my age with medical issues.... just had a major physical, and everything's "normal".... Yeah, for sure I said "Thanks" a week or so ago.

Glad you're in such good spirits- that's a large part of the recuperation process, I think!

Sounds like a good year to have behind you. I hope 2010 is a whole lot better for you.

Great to hear you're still able to laugh, that funny bone is pretty easily broken on most.

Also, is there an extended warranty on those parts?
Wrinkled fenders mean you're in close quarters,

Well it's a good sign, she hasn't traded you in!

Glad to hear you are in good spirits and on the mend. 2010 will be better.
My wife sometimes threatens to take me to the vet when time I get banged up or sick. I'm afraid she's going to have me put down.

.
You only have to fear that after the other reason for taking male dogs to the vet has been done a long time ago
Besides -- you get a lot better service at the vets than at the people docs
Just remember getting old beats the alternative

Threaten to send her to the Virgin Islands for recycling...

Me too. Life has beaten me up this year.

She has not traded you in yet but sounds like your warranty is done.
