Almost showtime!!

Well, it's less than 19 hours til I hit the table for my surgery. I want to thank every one of you hard ankles for being here and sharing your experiences with me and the other pre-ops. It has been a tremendous help, as well as a comfort and inspiration to see what other men have accomplished, and continue to accomplish, through this surgery.  Your knowledge, insight and friendship has been invaluable. You fellas offer hope and encouragement to others who choose to follow you on this journey in an attempt to find a healthier, happier, more active and more fufilling life.   To each and every one of you, I offer my sincere thanks. You guys are a great bunch! Now . . . move your azzes over fellas - another Bob is heading for the bench!! 

You, my friend, are already ahead of the curve by being an active member of our "odd fellows" clan. We'll have your spot all polished and cleared. Good luck tomorrow. Hope to hear from you soon.

Good luck tomorrow.  We will be thinking about you.

I hope you have a wonderful day tomorrow. Give 'em hell and walk some laps. Scott

Good luck BOB . we will look forward to hearing from ya soon.  Best wishes Nick

Thanks guys! I have my treadmill set up, got a new pair of New Balance running shoes, have all my supplements, vitamins, 4 different proteins stocked up - I think I'm ready to roll!!

What he said above about walking! Get up from that bed and do some laps around the hallways of the hospital. It hurts at first, but it builds up easy. They told me that they'd never seen anyone walk so much right after surgery.. and I know it helped alot.

Good luck tomorrow, Bob.  I will sending pleasant thoughts and prayers your way!   I feel a bit jealous as you have a great support team in place.  I wish I had been that smart! 

I lurked a lot of the time before my surgery, but you have jumped in ass-deep. I wish you the best and will be sending good vibes tomorrow. Nothing left to do but to do it!

Hey Bob,  I want to wish you well tomorrow and will be waiting for you on the bench.
