Subject: RE: BS: Bobert Under the Knife March 14th... From: Nigel Paterson Date: 12 Mar 12 - 03:40 AM Bobert, wishing you a successful outcome following your op. May your surgeon be inspired to do his/her best work! From one Guitarist to Another, Nigel. |

Subject: RE: BS: Bobert Under the Knife March 14th... From: wysiwyg Date: 12 Mar 12 - 05:23 AM Bob, As you slide into the op, please be mindful of our dear old friend and parishioner John Kilbourne and his dear, DEAR wife Lill. John is quite ancient and she is worried about his gallbladder op the same day, away off over the mountain-- in the "Big Hospital" where they do the "Real Serious Surgeries." I know John would not take it amiss to ask your (and P-Vine's) prayers for himself, his doctors, but above all for Lill's peace of mind. You see, she's just a young thing (second marriages), and she worries mos' awfully that one day she will lose her John. ~Susan |

Subject: RE: BS: Bobert Under the Knife March 14th... From: Bobert Date: 12 Mar 12 - 08:46 PM Well, nurse called today to ask all the usual questions... I thought we needed to be there @ 7:30... Turns out we gotta be there @ 6:00 am!!! Fuck!!! That's worser than the operation... lol... One more day before "O Day"... Think I'll just have few beers for breakfast... lol... B~ |

Subject: RE: BS: Bobert Under the Knife March 14th... From: gnu Date: 12 Mar 12 - 09:17 PM 6AM? That's a GOOD thing! The early bard gets the operation earlier. The earlier, the better. No question. This is a sign of good luck going your way. Shave your arm. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Bobert Under the Knife March 14th... From: Bobert Date: 12 Mar 12 - 09:50 PM I ain't shavin' squat, gn-ze... If they want it out of their way then they can do it... Plus, this guy does this operation a little different than what is on the4 innernet... He says its the latest... Says they are going to use the end of my dick... Says it the very latest... I made that up... You know, the "my dick" part... But he does have some other tendon that he uses that doesn't involve cutting slits up to my elbow... B~ |

Subject: RE: BS: Bobert Under the Knife March 14th... From: ChanteyLass Date: 12 Mar 12 - 10:26 PM I'm looking forward to reading your "post-war" stories! I hope the battle will be easier than you anticipate. |

Subject: RE: BS: Bobert Under the Knife March 14th... From: Bobert Date: 12 Mar 12 - 10:37 PM Me too, ChanteyLass, me too... Right now??? I am nervous as a mouse... B~ |

Subject: RE: BS: Bobert Under the Knife March 14th... From: Ebbie Date: 12 Mar 12 - 10:58 PM In addition to your many friends and wellwishers, not to mention the fact that you are a healthy young bovine, Bobert. you have two other things going for you: your operation is way early in the day and it won't be on a Monday. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Bobert Under the Knife March 14th... From: Janie Date: 12 Mar 12 - 10:59 PM Hang in there, Beaubear. Of course you're nervous! But I got a suspicion that when all is said and done you are going to be one happy guitar player. Got you surrounded with good Mudcat Mojo, we do. |

Subject: RE: BS: Bobert Under the Knife March 14th... From: maeve Date: 12 Mar 12 - 11:05 PM You're gonna be wicked glad you had this operation, Bobert. We'll be thinking about you and the Everloving P-Vine. Maeve |

Subject: RE: BS: Bobert Under the Knife March 14th... From: Jeri Date: 12 Mar 12 - 11:13 PM I've never had one single procedure that was anywhere near as bad as I thought it was going to be. The apprehension can make waiting a living a whole lot worse than the surgery or its aftermath. |

Subject: RE: BS: Bobert Under the Knife March 14th... From: katlaughing Date: 12 Mar 12 - 11:26 PM Of course you are nervous as a mouse, surrounded by all these 'cats!:-) Love, Light, and Healing Energy beaming your way.May the Great Good Spirit shine His/Her Everlovin' Light on YOU!:-) kat |

Subject: RE: BS: Bobert Under the Knife March 14th... From: Rapparee Date: 12 Mar 12 - 11:37 PM This here surgeon, the one that's gonna cut ya -- down at the hospital they call him "Mack the Knife." And there's never, never a trace of red.... |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Bobert Under the Knife March 14th... From: Bobert Date: 13 Mar 12 - 07:52 AM Well, 24 hours from now "Mac the Knife" will being doing his thing... And I'll be doing mine which I still am clueless about... Some say it's a nerve block and then others say I'll be on the goofy stuff... I donno??? I don't need no goofy stuff... But then again I don't think I get much say... I mean, they gonna know that I'm nervous so they may just give each other that look that only the doc and goofy stuff know which says, "Give the hillbilly the goofy stuff"... Well, ya'll, thanks a gazillion for your support and advice and pep talks and love and concern and warm and fuzzies and, and... B~ |

Subject: RE: BS: Bobert Under the Knife March 14th... From: maeve Date: 13 Mar 12 - 08:02 AM Bobert, I'm so glad you can get the medical help you need for your hands. If I needed this procedure I'd be sunk. Get in there, talk with the folks and ask your questions, then hunker down for the Doctor to do his/her thing. We'll be here when you get home. If you don't feel like computerversations, call one of us and ask 'em to post here so we know how you are, ok? |

Subject: RE: BS: Bobert Under the Knife March 14th... From: Bobert Date: 13 Mar 12 - 09:06 AM I am glad, maeve... I hate to admit it but I have just crossed the finish line and have Medicare... I was thinking about all the $$$ I have poured into health insurance over the years and what I got back... In the last 25 years the health insurance got over $100,000 out of me and what got back was one shingles immunization which wasn't subject to me high deductibles and I'm not sure how I got that out of these people... We should have Medicare for everyone... Yes, without it I wouldn't be able to get this fixed.. Lotta people getting screwed here in America... Grrrrrrrrr.... B~ |

Subject: RE: BS: Bobert Under the Knife March 14th... From: gnu Date: 13 Mar 12 - 01:30 PM Bobert... if you don't shave yer arm/hand and they don't shave your arm/hand, your arm/hand may get damn itchy with the cast or splint or whatever it is and changing bandages will be much more of a chore and hurt more. Perhaps I should have explained that. It ain't for them... it's for YOU. Now, I don't really know what they are gonna do during and after the procedure but *I* would shave my arm/hand "just in case". |

Subject: RE: BS: Bobert Under the Knife March 14th... From: Bobert Date: 13 Mar 12 - 04:34 PM The way I see it there's gonna be just one incision at the base of my thumb... They used to make 4 incision but this is a newer technique and there really ain't much hair there so I think I'll just leave it alone... BTW, we gotta be there at 6:00 in the morning!!! This outta be interesting in itself... B~ |

Subject: RE: BS: Bobert Under the Knife March 14th... From: bobad Date: 13 Mar 12 - 07:16 PM It'll all be good Bobert. You'll be laughing and joking about how uptight you were in another day or two. Don't be late tomorrow. |

Subject: RE: BS: Bobert Under the Knife March 14th... From: Bobert Date: 13 Mar 12 - 07:21 PM Can't wait for that bobad!!! Can't come soon enough... Meanwhile, ol' hillbilly tryin' to get sleepy so takin' my meds: Natural Lite Beer... LOL... B~ |

Subject: RE: BS: Bobert Under the Knife March 14th... From: bobad Date: 13 Mar 12 - 07:28 PM I am lifting one to you and yer doc too, cheers! |

Subject: RE: BS: Bobert Under the Knife March 14th... From: catspaw49 Date: 13 Mar 12 - 07:51 PM Look Man...It'll be okay and if it goes wrong.............well, with all they do in plastic surgery they can probably cut off your dick and use it to replace your thumb. Hell, that might have some advantages for you as you could make love to your hearts content without getting pains in your back! Think of it! You could be just sittin' there and really diggin' it while you recline comfortably in front of the TV watching re-runs of "Swamp Loggers." Eat some popcorn while you're at it. You might have to stop a time or two to use the remote but this might be something to consider in case your thumb ends up needing to be cut off. Spaw |

Subject: RE: BS: Bobert Under the Knife March 14th... From: bobad Date: 13 Mar 12 - 08:03 PM Hmmm....that would make sucking your thumb a whole new experience. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Bobert Under the Knife March 14th... From: Bobert Date: 13 Mar 12 - 08:15 PM Reminds me of the old joke, "Why does a dog lick his balls???" Nevermind... Old dumb joke... But thanks for those comforting thoughts, Spawzer... But how am I gonna pee??? I ain't wearing no bag... B~ |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Bobert Under the Knife March 14th... From: EBarnacle Date: 13 Mar 12 - 08:28 PM Hang in there...and take the P-Vine's shotgun away. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Bobert Under the Knife March 14th... From: Janie Date: 13 Mar 12 - 08:30 PM About 6 in the morning, Bobert, I'll be wedging my braced leg into the ol'Suby to head for work. Gonna plug in your latest CD and send your own good vibes back atcha all the way to work. FWIW, be sure you carefully adhere to the aftercare and rehab instructions on both exercises and restrictions as you heal. (No grabbing shovel handles or handtools until the good doc gives the green light.) |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Bobert Under the Knife March 14th... From: Bobert Date: 13 Mar 12 - 08:42 PM Thanks fir them reminders, Janie... I'll be workin' the doc tomorrow on just how soon I can do this or that... I mean, maybe gardenin' is the new rehab for thumb surgery??? I got stuff to do, Doc!!! B~ |

Subject: RE: BS: Bobert Under the Knife March 14th... From: maeve Date: 13 Mar 12 - 09:36 PM Sleep well and wake refreshed, Bobert. |

Subject: RE: BS: Bobert Under the Knife March 14th... From: YorkshireYankee Date: 13 Mar 12 - 10:40 PM Good Luck Bobert! Hope it goes brilliantly. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Bobert Under the Knife March 14th... From: ChanteyLass Date: 13 Mar 12 - 10:42 PM Tomorrow? It's tomorrow? Well, it's about time, because I can hardly wait to hear how it went and how quickly you recover. In the meantime I'll be thinking about you along with so many other people. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Bobert Under the Knife March 14th... From: Ebbie Date: 13 Mar 12 - 10:59 PM I too will be thinkin' of you. The good thing, as I understand it, is that as soon as an ailment gets fixed it hurts less. It hurts but it is a new hurt- not as deep, not as pervasive, not as sick-making. So might it be. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Bobert Under the Knife March 14th... From: Rapparee Date: 13 Mar 12 - 11:25 PM At 6 a.m. Eastern time I will be sound asleep. Don't take it personally. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Bobert Under the Knife March 14th... From: Stilly River Sage Date: 14 Mar 12 - 01:07 AM Bobert, I like Janie's idea about playing your CD during your surgery time. I, like Rapparee, may well be asleep since it is before dawn and all, so I'll put it in the player tonight and have it turn itself on at 6am your time (5am mine - so don't take it personally if I hit the snooze button a few times - but I'll know why it's going off!) Just remember what my consumer advocate (The Watchdog columnist in the Fort Worth Star-Telegram) says: Ask A Lot of Questions. And if you have a few in the morning, ask them before they shoot you full of Versed (though I refuse to let them use that stuff - it gives me a hangover like you wouldn't believe). SRS |

Subject: RE: BS: Bobert Under the Knife March 14th... From: maeve Date: 14 Mar 12 - 06:10 AM Bobert, you're at your procedure right now. It will be smooth sailing from here. |
