Mike, you will do fine. I am on my 3rd week of recovery from a 4 hr operation to remove my prostate and I had my kidney removed (another 4 hour surgery) back in Sept. No problems, just some pain (percocets work well!)

Hang in there!

I havent been to the Jackson HS, but I go to the Jackson Outlets almost every month during the summer.

The things they can do during surgery these days is nothing short of amazing. You will be up and walking in no time at all! All will go well and you will just need to stay off it for a while to make sure it heals properly! No worries...Merry Christmas to you and yours!

emtcee 1973 I had knee surgery on Nov 17 and everything was doing great until today I went to get into a lifted Jeep at work to pull it in the shop and my knee popped and I had very severe pain so I called the doc and he said come right in so I did ,they x-rayed it and set another surgey date for Dec 27 (tenetive) they put it in a cast and I have to go back in the morning for a final decision,so I feel you pain.Good luck and I hope you have a speedy recovery.

There are a number of Jersey-ites here. I try to get to the Jackson Outlets shows every month. After that it is hit or miss. I am in Hamilton, but grew up in Belmar.

Thanks for the line on the seats!

I havent been to the Jackson HS, but I go to the Jackson Outlets almost every month during the summer.That sounds terrible, I'm glad you sound in such great spirits. Look at the bright side, that is just a little less weight for the 1320' :) You gotta be positive!

1st Jackson Outlets should be May 26. Mark it on the calendar!

Guys, thanks for the concern! Doing fine, but had to wear an internal catheter (what a pain and a PAIN!). But thats gone and another 3-4 weeks rehabbing with an external one and I should be back to normal (then I have to go back to work :( ) But in the meantime I have been working on my little 69 RS soleniod plastic project. I should have some exiting news in about a week! :D
