Default This STINKS...

We've all experienced the feeling of having:
a) too much to do on our Vette's that we don't know where to start
b) no money to do what we would like to do
c) no time to do what we would like to do
d) b&c

Now I can add "e"... have knee surgery and can do squat!...much less "squat"...literally!

Seriously... glad I did the "mad dash" to get the rear rebuild complete in January/February...with lots of Advil...surgery was Tuesday night and I got the '80 done and into the body shop with only a few days to spare. Now started face lift thread to document exterrior work.

Spring will be extra sweet this year... Vette comes back! I can work on it without Advil! And I can squat again!!!

Fix/mod something and have a beer for me this weekend!

Ed

I am replacing the front stabalizer links tomorrow. I will be sure to have several beers while doing so - at least two for you.

Get well soon!!

That's RIGHT! My Father in Law is 74

He had 2 total knee replacements 6 weeks apart...about a year ago. No joke...he was walking 2 miles a day in about 6 weeks after the 2nd surgery.

Thanks Guys... Definitely not complaining as I know the knee will be "much better" once I'm through this stage.

Just the first time I've been down and can't do much about it...my personality is one that has to be doing something all the time (projects - house or car).... can only do so much internet, car shows on TV and re-reading my Vette and Corvette Fever issues.

Thanks Again... Ed
