Good morning!!!!

I wish you luck with it, Ron. Of course, none of us would know, but you, but I'm guessing that to have the surgery in the Fall when there's less to do outside might be an advantage.

It would be better to have surgery in November. But doctor was worried that longer I wait the less likely any repair can be made. Thank you Medicare for requiring at least a month of therapy before they would pay for the MRI. I don’t think that helped the injury at all.

Well, at least now you know, Ron. Surgery and recovery will probably be unpleasant, but not nearly as bad as just letting it go.

I have friends and relatives like that, oldtimer. I suspect many of us do. Wife and I have a friend who, during her previous marriage, was distraught over having her power shut off over unpaid bills. Wife (who was still girlfriend then) stepped in and loaned them the money (nearly $2K) to pay it and get their power back on for the sake of their kids just before winter about 10 years ago. It's still unpaid to this day. Not so much as a penny. All the Facebook posts about all the weekly woo-hoo partying she always does just burned my Wife to the point that she barely ever talks to her anymore. Has money to party every weekend, but not to pay back debts. We've lost count of how many trips to Cancun and Puerto Vallarta she's taken since then. At some point, you just come to understand that it wasn't a "loan" at all, and just write it off as gone.

Back from doctors. Kind of what I expected. 2 torn biceps tendons. The word doctor used was ruptured. Surgery scheduled for October. Going to be a long fall and winter.

Ouch, why so long?

Edit, i see, medi-dont-care..

Ron, good luck with arm. I never had my right arm repaired and I’m at about 70 % of normal use.

Went to doc for this sinus business this afternoon, now I have to get a blood test for some kind of condition I never heard of. Temporal Arteritis. Always something.

Ouch, just not fun this aging thing sometimes.

Nice option. Engage blades on ZTR and tow it via RTV. Around here that would classify as ----genius. ROTFL.

I meant tow one of them and park the RTV where you are going to mow

How did he get that message in the sealed envelope?

Be careful while your waiting for surgery - I usually aggravate my injuries.

It may not be fun but it sure beats the alternative.

Well, I don't have to add water to the pool. It has been low and have been putting it off as long as I could. Just had a nice T-storm and got almost 2 4/10 and it is still raining. Have a good evening. Ed

I believe I can see the thunderheads from your storm out to the west since they are so high...but not a drop here. Hope no floods out your way.

Sorry to hear that. Fall and Winter are a great time to recoup strength. When Spring time comes you will be ready to go, and by Summer you will be wondering what happened to make your life so great!

Positive thoughts to you!

If you loan somebody $2000 and never see them again..........it was probably worth it.
