Would you guys and girls like to wish an old guy LOTS of luck?

Asked by BoBo1946 (15325points) November 6th, 2010

Mods might delete this…but, here goes. Last day to tell my friends thank you for the kind and encouraging words lately.

My surgery is Monday at 1:30pm. I’ll be at Germantown Methodist hospital. As soon as possible, will give you update. I’m nervous, but positive. My third time under the knife. All on my legs. ACL and two hip replacements. Just wish they could find something to repair my brain! loll

Take care and see you guys and girls!

Bo or as Aster says, Boo!

Oh, probably will not respond to your messages, but will read them before I leave.

Best of luck to you!

All the very best to you. You will be as fit as a fiddle in no time. There is NOTHING to repair the brain unfortunately, I would have been their first VIP guinea pig, God knows I need brain repairs, so when something comes up I will be there.

Don’t worry about a thing, you will be as good as new soon. A quick and speedy recovery!

Two hip replacements at the same time? you are a brave soul. i wish only the best for you. your guardian angels will watch over you. just say a prayer and ask for their magic touch. john

My thoughts and prayers will be with you on Monday. My wish for you: a successful surgery and a quick recovery with little downtime and no pain.

I’m new and you don’t know me, but I’ve read some of your responses and I can see your very nice and much loved around here. Best of luck with the surgery bobo.

Hey there my friend…enjoy your time off and all the attention from the pretty nurses. Relax a little and no rush to find your way back here! You will be missed and catch you later when you are all patched up!

muppetish's avatar

Good luck, Bo. I hope the surgery goes well and that you find plenty of rest when it is over.

lucillelucillelucille's avatar

You’ll do great!! <<HUGS>>See you when you get back! :)

Kayak8's avatar

I would say “Break a leg,” but that is too theatrical (and, perhaps, really inappropriate). Instead, best wishes for good drugs, minimal pain, excellent results, and full good health soon!

LuckyGuy's avatar

Good luck. You have nothing to do but sit back, relax, and go for the ride.
With a concerned look on your face, practice this quote: “My pain is a 10. My pain is a 10.”
Enjoy the drugs.

Best of luck. Hope somebody brings you takeout from a good restaurant!

Seaofclouds's avatar

Just tell yourself some of your wonderful jokes…... they keep most of us on Fluther amused!
Keep your thoughts on those beautiful nurses…... you will be able to chase them around the hospital soon !!!
I think you know we are all thinking of you, and wishing you a speedy recovery <3
We will be waiting for good news from you as soon as you are able.

faye's avatar

You may not enjoy the day after but will love it when you can walk without wincing! Best of luck! If you’re a golfer, my friend said his hip replacement sure helped his game!

JustJessica's avatar

I wish you a speedy recovery!!!

ucme's avatar

Good luck fella & don’t forget to charm the knickers off those nurses. Give em a good old smack on the bum from me ;¬} Oh & Hip hip hooray! :¬)

All the best to you, Bob. As the ol’ saw goes, “You can’t keep a good man down.” Fluther will not feel the same until you’re back…so, rest and heal…then get into the therapy.

Hurry back, Miss A.

@BoBo1946: How are your new joints? Can you clog dance yet? I understand that rubbing your legs with turkey gravy works magic.

BoBo1946's avatar

Thank you my friends. It really went better than i could have ever thought….walking with a cane (no clogging yet Gail..loll). Much stronger now compared to the same time in 2006 when the other one was replaced. Happy T Day everyone!

JilltheTooth's avatar

Hey, I reserved the first dance weeks ago! Stand in line girls!
Bet our Bo’s just hatin’ this!

Dutchess_III's avatar

Me first!!! Pulls @JilltheTooth‘s hair!

BoBo1946's avatar

Hey, I’m really looking forward to this dance. This will be really fun. And, we could all dance together. I’ve never danced with three ladies before. Think maybe I should buy a new pair of shoes as a backup in case the others wear out…

MilkyWay's avatar

yo ladies, BACK OFF LOL! I’m getting the first dance.
Isn’t that so bobo? COME ON SAY YES!

Dutchess_III's avatar

Pulls @queenie‘s hair, stomps on her toes, grabs Bobo by the hand and we hobble away at the speed of LIGHT!!

BoBo1946's avatar

Loll… love it… Thank you my friends. We will have lots of fun!

JilltheTooth's avatar

G’mornin’, Bo, how’s the leg this morning?

BoBo1946's avatar

G’mornin’ Jill ! Really doing good Jill… I’m walking without any kind of limp etc. Almost all the soreness is gone. I’m really amazed about the progress. Have a great day girl !

JilltheTooth's avatar

You, too, buddy! Keep up the good recovery…

MilkyWay's avatar

MilkyWay's avatar

BoBo1946's avatar

You are very kind Queenie! You’ve a perfect day!

doublebogie's avatar

Hey BoBo!! So glad to hear everything is turning out good on your surgury. I have been off the grid for quite a while now. Lots of things going on in my life, all pretty good. My wifes book is taking off “Inside the Presidents Helicopter” Published by Cable Publishing and her screen play did well out in Washington DC Film Festival and will be filmed at the end of May. Not much golf but my game remains at about 90 with a few 88’s. Just logged on for a few min. to see whats going on. Wondered how you were doing and read your thread. Well we have a book signing to go to so bye for now write if you get a chance. Sooo glad you are doing well!!!

Your Friend

BoBo1946's avatar

@doublebogie WOWWWWWWWW.. that is so cool ! Is the book in the book store now? If so, I ‘ll buy one. Keep me posted.

Yeah, the surgery went really well. It has been four weeks and walking without pain. Well, my left knee is hurting. Probably, overcompensation. I hope.

Take care my friend and keep me posted on the book. Tell Ms @doublebogie, Congratulations!!!!

Dutchess_III's avatar

@queenie Yeah. Great dream. I’m in traction. :)

partyparty's avatar

Hope today you are feeling more optimistic… and healing {hugs}

Dutchess_III's avatar

GET AWAY FROM HIM @partyparty! He’s mine!

JilltheTooth's avatar

Watch out, @BoBo1946 , obviously @Dutchess_III ‘s concern for your recovery has turned into a dangerous mania. You might want to put 911 on speed-dial.

Dutchess_III's avatar

LOL!!! I’m cutting his phone lines now!!

BoBo1946's avatar

loll…. Nothing like good fun!

Dutchess_III's avatar

:) Just glad you’re OK. That stuff is always, always scary, no matter how “safe” it is. (I didn’t cut your cable cord, Bo, so you still have football. K? :) )

BoBo1946's avatar

You would be correct MsD…. the best of surgery is waking up!

MilkyWay's avatar

YO PEOPLE, im back from a week in bed from that stupid swine flu thing… but i’m still gonna dance!!!!!!! did I miss the party?

MilkyWay's avatar
