It is he77 I had abdominal surgery last feb. which messed me up for 6 months, I had to immerse myself into tv, it was he77. Find some tv show or movies and put the rest out of your mind, it seems like forever while it is happening, but the time goes by quickly you just have to let it. good luck and get better soon

Just keep singing:

Whoa, Black Betty, bam-ba-lam
Whoa, Black Betty, bam-ba-lam
Black Betty had a child, bam-ba-lam
The damn thing gone wild, bam-ba-lam
Said it weren't none of mine, bam-ba-lam
The damn thing gone blind, bam-ba-lam
I said oh, Black Betty, bam-ba-lam
Whoa, Black Betty, bam-ba-lam

Brother I feel your pain, in 1995 I had two back surgeries, my 1970 CB-750 Honda
sat in my garage for over a year.

P.S. I tell the wife a lot of the parts that
I buy for the Bike are safety items.

Better to lose March & April than to lose July and August. Make up for it in the summer

That might work, worst that can happen is get yelled atDont think it will be a beating too(LMAO kidding), just yelling and a fridgid shoulder for a couple of days.. If I take my time, she will get over it while I'm playing with parts. Not supposed to do anything but keep my foot elevated for three weeks. So got time to wait for parts to arrive.

Had plantar factitious, had to stop running and tread mill, switched to an exercise bicycle and bought inserts from the doc's office, 44 dollars. Hobbled around for two months but was able to ride. Always use the inserts, no bare foot stuff. I'm actually back to normal now and i thought i was freakin doomed.

Yours is more serious than mine, however, i'd talk to him about inserts to raise your arch and cushion the heel. You might be back sooner. Good luck.

Good Jam "bam a lam", one that gets the juices flowing.
I'm getting diabetic shoes around the time I get this darn cast off. Already have the boots. They both have custom molded inserts, an imprint of your foot that is made and then come with the shoes.
