Glad to hear it's a relatively minor surgery, and hope he's on his feet soon. I'll try not to make him laugh in the meantime.

Good to see he's gonna be okay. I was starting to wonder what happened to him.

Thanks Brian and everyone for your best wishes and prayers, however the surgery is next Wednesday. I sort of wish it had been yesterday. My very best to you all!

Had the same surgery. Twice. It gets better in 4 or 5 days. But, you can play it up for a week.
Unspoken expectations are premeditated failures.

I guess that makes you a Big Boy tender (or vice-versa).
Hope you're up and around soon AF, but don't be afraid to play that sympathy card.
