MOWING?

I thought Hank Hill was in Texas??

I'd put off the surgery until October or so if I were you.

By October, there should be 3' of snow to shovel. ;)

then id be into leaf raking time....lol 

 I waited two weeks.  Other than being tired afterwards I was fine.

thats what i am probably thinking too. Hey! i wanted to talk with you after Support Meeting last night but you were busy talking to someone. I was with the guy who had lost 200+ lbs. i wanted to thank you for bringing up the part about the testing/retestings etc. that soothed my mind knowing that i dont need to freak out if i have to take further ones..Seem to be getting more and more out of the group. Next time ill see you.

 You should have stepped up and said something to me.  My wife and I were talking to a guy who had surgery that same time as my wife.  We will definitely have to talk at the next meeting.  Congratulations on getting your surgery approved.

THE guy who was with me needed to get home and so out the door we went. Again thanks for mentioning about the testing things. I would have freaked out if you hadnt mentioned that. The guy with me said he had the retesting he had to do on his heart. Keep the faith and go for it. i have been reading off and on today the book St V will give me at Pre Op. He loaned me the book so i could get a feel of what when how and why. Wife will need to read too ive decided.

talk next time with you

I mostly ride mow my 6 acres with  push mowing the trim areas.  I had surgery in August 2008 and waited about two weeks before tackling the lawn duties.  I had a great neighbor who helped me out.

I felt like I could have mowed the next week, but my doctor said not to lift more than 10 pounds for 6 weeks. I would say if you have to have to pull the string to start it, have someone else do that, but then I don't see much harm in walking behind a lawn mower if you feel like it. Weed eating, I would think would be a little more strenuous if yours is like mine. Always talk to your surgeon first if you're not sure. You don't want to hurt yourself.
