Been having a lot of pain walking with my new lag so went to the doc yesterday and found out he screwed up in the end of the stump when he sewed things up in there and now have to have more surgery to get it right so I can walk again. I figured it out yesterday and in 6 years I have had 5 major surgerys. Dam I'm tired of being cut on and hurting. But this one had to be done so I can walk. Cant even make a good wooden leg to walk on till this is done.
The sad tales of a pirate. But this pirate will walk again.

Sorry to hear that they made an error that will cause more surgery.....stay positive (i know it is harder to do than for me to say) I only had two major in three years with a stroke in between and it was all about all I could handle. I did figure out in the process why they call it "practicing medicine". Keep smiling and god bless!

i go in today to see my GP and get the ok for surtery monday. Not looking forward to this. Everytime they cut on me I wake up hurting. But the pain will go away as it always does but you dont forget it. Give me 3 months and if its done right I will be up and walking.
Got to get this all done I have a G3 to restore and get on the water by summer with a Stinger on it.
Wish me luck

Does the doc know you need it fixed so you can get crackin' on your G3? Wishing you pain-free satisfaction this time with high-speed healing.

We are all pulling for you and in no time you'll be doing all those things they tell you not to do. When I had my knee replaced the doc said to do whatever I felt like. So I took the boat out and fished. Before the end of the day when I got home I went down to the basement. That is where the workshop and computer are. Of course it was swelled up when I went back and he asked me what i been doing. He was pissed when I told him and then I reminded him of what he said. STUPID DR didn't know me well enough.

Mike, You are one tough cookie and I find support from your continued positive attitude through these very hard & painful times.
Some of us old birds are pretty tough and we can find strength from each other to push forward.

When you get the G3 up and running, take your doc for a ride and shut it off in the middle of the lake and make him paddle back to the dock. When you get back tell him you will get it right the second time! Neil Check this box to be notified of replies to this topic. Note: BBcode and smileys are still usable.

Hi Mike--Glad to hear the surgery apparently went off with no complications. Hope you heal quickly.

My BF was talking today about trying to get to Tahoe this winter after all, so maybe we'll get a chance to meet in person. I'll keep you posted; it would probably be in February.

Neil, I don't know you, but you're on a roll!

("get it right the second time"--that's funny stuff)

Thanks everybody

Went to the doc today and had the stichs taken out and everything look good. Now have to wait 2 months before I can start working on walking again. Dam I'm going to get tired of waiting but not going to take a chance on hurting it or having any problems. Springs not that far off so I can start working on the G3.
