After a few days in the hospital, one of our most popular bassists/luthiers/conservatives is home and running his wife Marcia ragged with his needs.
The knee replacement was a total success and of course now Bob is left with intense pain and an intense physical therapy program. The problem with this operation as Marcia explained to me, is that all the scar tissue left from the operation, must be stretched with excercise so the tightness from that tissue doesn't leave Bob with a limp or worse.
He's also having a problem with the pain medications as far as finding one that gives him some relief, but doesn't mess up his tum-tum.
Anyway, he's home and on the mend and i'm sure we'll hear from him soon!

Dittos. To Paul for the report and to Mr. Branstetter on the wish of a speedy recovery.
I'll do what I can in his absence. Only problem is, I know nothing about luthiery, and I am not really a Midwesterner, but rather a displaced Hill Billy.
Although, conservative I can do. It comes naturally.
All kidding aside, I do wish the best for Bob. |

Thanks everyone for all of the kind messages both on and off the forum. It's probably going to be a few weeks before I will be back on the forum as an active participant, but believe me I miss all you guys and gals.

Monte | I'll third that sentiment. Bob, if I may be so bold, I'd like to recommend a liberal dose of bed rest and good books during the early stages of your recovery.
You heard right - I did say "Liberal".  |

Get well, Bob. |

We all wish you a speedy recovery. Your doctor probably knows as much about knees as you do about basses, so do what they tell you . . .
Good Luck . . . |
