Okey dokey, gee that sounds like fun. not.
Welcome to this weeks surgery club for men.
I'll ask flts question to scooter.
Were they able to do it with a bikini cut and scopes?
Good luck. Recovery isn't awful but its not a good time either.
At least for me I was not really uncomfortable after three and a half to four weeks.
Most annoying part was reestablishing stable normal biological functions.

Raptor, not to make light of your surgeries, but if you need someone to keep the battery up on that beautiful Vette, give me a call.
Fast recovery to you.

I think both George and I will agree with that statement!

No. About a 10-inch incision and 50 staples.

You're about the 50th person that has offered to take care of my Vette while I'm laid up. When I was released from the hospital on Monday of last week, one of the first things I did was go in the garage and fire Big Red up. I started driving last Thursday.

Thanks, everybody, for your kind words.

your lucky. No driving for me for around 5 weeks. Besides, I might be able to get in the car (once) I am sure that I could never get out!

Not being able to drive sucks! I totally found sympathy to old people who can no longer drive when I was unable to drive after shoulder surgery.

Hang in there, Dave, no being a back seat driver either!

Hopefully, you'll be all set for Spring Fling, though you may have to lead the leaf peeper group.
