Bob Stehlik No emergency YET. Just finished a Knob Creek Very Small Batch Bourbon 100 proof last night after my 2nd grandson was born by a midwife in Indiana yesterday. With the number of bottles in my arsenal, an emergency would not occur for at least another 3 months. I stocked up extremely well for the planned isolation.
zbigjeff I must have missed what was going on. Glad you’re progressing, but did anything specific happen (if it’s not too personal)?

Chef Re Hip Issue & total hip replacement: what happened was that I didn’t sit on my butt much in the last X years. The hip degradation was caused by officiating over 3,000 soccer games at many levels, playing a bunch of golf and a sundry of other activities throughout my life. I’m now paying the price. Just have to take a break for awhile during the healing process whether I like it or not. Btw: thanks for asking. Yep, reading about all the neat things all of you are doing is inspiring me to get back on that treadmill of life.

zbigjeff My prayers for a complete recovery. I know that the rehab must be difficult.
Please keep us updated on your progress.

Chef Thank you chef. The rehab is only as good/hard if one follows it. The most difficult item is only doing the rehab they demand vs doing “extra”. They probably know a bit more than I about the whole process and the reasons. Yep, following their instructions exactly and steady as she goes.

johnsbrewhouse Thank you. It’s all about baby steps and accepting that it’s OK on the rehab part. Re the new grandson: My daughter is a strong person. She delivered the grandson at HOME with a midwife a la natural. Yep, she’s a brave one she is.

zbigjeff she must be strong and brave. The only women I know that still use a midwife are the Amish in my area. Congrats to you both

zbigjeff Congratulations on the new grandson. Keep up the rehab so when he is ready to play you will be ready, it will be worth all the effort.

Following the rehab instructions seems to be the difference between obtaining a successful outcome, and anything less.
Recovering from knee, hip and shoulder procedures depend on the rehab. Unfortunately the rehab can be more painful than the procedure, but totally worth it.
Keep at it, and hope your recovery gets you back to where you want your lifestyle to be.

processhead Thanks for your understanding of the process and the support. Since I desire to get back to a positive result, I plan to go through each step as designed. It’s just like following all the basics in cooking, smoking and stuffing. Thanjs again and have yourself another good day.

PapaSop That’s almost spot on with the name. Since the other gramps had to be called grandpa, they thought it best that I be called “Pappy” for 2 reasons. One because of my love for drinking Pappy Van Winkle and so the kids can differentiate. Instead of fighting the logic, I just kept the peace and said OK. At first, they asked me what name without it being grandpa and I said “Your Lordship”. After dead silence, I said Pappy would be fine. Lol

zbigjeff You should have stuck with your Lord Ship, wouldn’t that be a nice introduction later in life at a wedding “this is my grandpa and this is Sir Lord Ship”.

When I make it, I usually use Texas Pepper Jelly rib candy (usually the Cherry Apple Habanero flavor), brown sugar, and cayenne, and sometimes some BBQ rub based on what I’m feeling. Smoke it until it’s done, and devour.
