Anyone heard how Hank is doing? Haven't ssen a post for a while.

He's posted on Team Chevelle in the last day or so. I'll give him a call and see how he's doing.

I talked to Hank for a couple of mins. He is healing, slow but healing. He will be going home next Tues, in a wheelchair. He should be able to use a walker when he gets home. Seemed to be in pretty good spirits.

Let him know that we miss his "wisdom" here.

Hey guys, I'm doing okay. Plan is for me to go home on Tuesday. They been working my butt of in therapy. Walking around with one of those old people walkers. Since I can't put any weight on my left leg it's kind of like using crutches, you have to support all of your weight on your hands and wrists, they're getting kind of sore.

Our house is a tri-level so I've been working on going up and down the stairs with the walker. That's kind of tricky too, balancing all your weight on your hands, on the walker, on the stairs. Anyway, it's all good. Lot of pain at various times but things are healing and getting better.

We are all rooting for you Hank. I hope you are feeling better soon.

Hi Hank.Waving

Good to hear from you. We will hope for a speedy recover for you.

Them ledders can be dangerous,after hearing about Hank,I don't even go near the mailbox.

You gotta watch out for them splodin mailbox's too.

Hank, Im glad to hear you are up and about even with the walker .You will be good to go in no time at all ,just dont overdo.

I always make sure my salespeople are extra nice to guys that enter the showroom with a walker.Waving

That's why they are nice to you then ?

:)

Won't be long with the hours I've been putting in.

I bet that Maureen is not to happy with that.

So Hank is it this week that you are going to head home.

Well I'm home, got here around noon today. Still trying to adjust to things. Can't carry anything when using a walker or crutches and I have to use one or the other. Still can't put any weight on the left leg, it's going to be awhile. Things are improving, they're not great but they are improving,

I am so glad to hear that you are home. It is nice having people waiting on you in the hospital, but there is nothing like being at home. Being able to grab a beer.

Glad they made you go home ,you were probably agravating all the pretty nurses anyway .Be careful not to overdo it but do as much as you safely can .Get well soon .

Also glad to her you are home. Take it one day at a time and you will be jogging again in no time.

Actually got along pretty good with most of them. I motored around in the wheelchair at night when I couldn't sleep. They would invite me in to the nurses station to sit and talk or watch TV on their widescreen TV.

I hate them golf carts! I couldn't sit in one very long either. Actually I can't sit, stand or lay very long. Whatever I'm doing it will start to hurt after awhile and I have to do something different, until that starts to hurt. Hope you guys enjoy Frankenmuth, I'm sure going to miss being there this year. Can't believe I broke my ass, the pain can be unbelievable at times, can't do a damn thing, just have to wait until it heals on it's own.

Hank, it sounds like you are getting back to your old self. I am sure that everyone is going to miss you at Frankenmuth this year.

Is his old self a good thing?:p

I'm betting Lynda was asking them to fix some of his faults while he was in there anyway.

Probably wasn't covered by his health insurance.Waving

Probably but I bet she'd be happy if I could just walk around on my own.

This is a true friend.

Saw the doctor today. They took some x-rays and he said the bones are healing good. Said I can do 30% weight on my left leg, up until now it's been no weight which is really hard to do.

Since they didn't have to do any surgery he said things should heal up good with no long term affects. He said this injury is one of the worst for pain and that's going to be the biggest issue the next month or 2. It still hurts like hell sometimes but it's not as often as before so things are improving. He gave me a script for Motrin, hopefully that will work and I can get away from the narcotics. Been taking them around the clock for a month now.

Hi Hank! Waving

Hank, glad to hear that things are going good. I bet it will feel good to be able to move around a little more. Don't over do it.

Good news Hank. Now come on up this week-end and help me get the new roof on the storage garage. Will you be able to carry the bundles of shingles up the LATTER for me?

It's pretty obvious that I'm not too good on LATTERs Tony. I am pretty good at drinking beer though. :drunk:

Just thought I would mention that in case you need any help in that area. :D

Sounds like you have had a few already. :beer:

I usually use a ladder when I need to go up on a roof.

Beer is a good thing Hank.:p

Tony spelled it latter, I just copied that.

Everybody knows that Gary.

I spelled it that way because someone made fun of me before for my miss-spelling, so now that's the way I'm going to spell it forever. Have a "goot" day all.

Hi Hank ,hope youre feeling better.

A little better each day. Hardest part is not being able to do anything. I hobble around on these crutches looking at all the things that need to be done that I can't do.

Glad to here you are doing better. You are that much closer to doing some of the things you want too.
