I didn't know you were a lawyer, Lynn.

Looks like we both graduated law school the same year: 1990.

I think we need to start a new thread with photos of us in our prime: "Vintage Car Dudes Back When We Were New"

i was older than most of the students. There was one guy in my class who was 55 when we graduated.
The law is my third vocation.

Sherri was not allowed in the hospital because of covid concerns, so I flew solo.

Did not even go to a room after surgery. Went from surgery to post op to Sherri's car, and was home by 8:20 pm.

Here I am less than 44 hours after surgery. Some of the family headed this way for Thanksgiving dinner, but about 1/2 our normal crowd. I will put the sling on for protection, and will wear a mask (at the bequest of my daughter who is in health care) when close to others.

Yes, I am getting ready to turn 68, and that is my natural hair color. Still a bit bloated around the middle from surgery. Had a hard time getting the pants on.

You guys have a great Thanksgiving.

I had my right shoulder replaced a year ago, at 60. I was struggling to work on my racecar, hang a jacket, put on a shirt, etc...
I had to stay one night in the hospital but was pain free by 5:00 PM the day of surgery.
It was also the best thing that I ever did, as it allows me to do things which I had not been able to do in many years.

And today, as I type this, I am 5 days post surgery from a double knee replacement. It is not as pain free as my shoulder replacement, but my options were limited.

Yes, I am hard on my body...

I wish you a speedy recovery.
