Looks like the surgery was a success and as of now all nerve pain is gone. I do have some bursitis in my hips but the back pain seems to be gone.

To quote a song by Elvin Bishop, "Sure feels good feelin' good again!" doesn't it? y1 y1 Glad to hear things worked out well for you.

Dan - I love Elvin Bishop music being the redneck that I am and Allan, gimme just a little more time and I will be ready.....I havn't flown now in almost 4 years....probably will get sick and throw up..... ~^ ~^ ~^ ~^ ~^

Mike
I'm so happy for you! Let the throwing up begin.
-
Thanks Duke....shouldnt be too much longer and I can try to get something back in the air. Now I have to find someone with good knees in the club who can launch me. That is kind of a joke in the club...WHO HAS THE GOOD KNEES?
-
Great news to hear you are doing better. Just stay with it.
-
And don't overdo it! I usually limit myself to 3 flights a day, unless I have plenty of "sittin' in the chair in the shade time" to rest up and maybe catch a z or two.
Most of us start our planes while standing, then set them down just before release. Except the 'lectric guys, of course. And we use some sort of kneeling pad. I like my "Tommy" gel pad, 'cause it folds up and goes into my hip pocket. y1 Steve

Steve that is great advice and I will take it. I just want to start slow and go at my own pace. I will get plenty of that shade time in the chair believe me. I thought I was cured and did too much yesterday and am paying for it today with a lot of soreness. It is going to take a while to get my stamina back. I am planning on doing a lot of walking as I heal and as my body will tolerate. Also I have a wife who watches me like a hawk if I get out of line before I should....I have been called down several times already. mw~ mw~ mw~ mw~ mw~ mw~ mw~

Now you know why I fly with a stooge most of the time. I'm one of the few with good enough knees to launch.
-
That is true Allan.....sad but true....LOL

Hi Mike,
I am genuinely happy that you had a successful surgery! I will continue to pray for your recovery. We need to see who will get back on the handle first! LOL!!!

Hey Big Bear, we may have to coach him on the stance I was taught during football days. You know the one on the line when you are ready to flatten your opponent so you can get the QB or runner. I probably look silly doing it, but that is the stance I use for launching some planes. And then sometimes I do like someone else I have seen. Since the plane is usually outside the flying zone for most. I sit down. Once plane is released I just roll to the outside of the circle. As long as the pilot stays above 3 feet I am okay even if he doesn't move to the pilot circle.
