I had a friend who had this done last year and she says now "Why I did not have this done 5 years ago I will never know". It has given her a new lease on life. I wish you all the best and get back on the lake soon.

GOOD LUCK BOSTON BOB!!! WISH YOU A SPEEDY RECOVERY!

I am going to miss that funny walk!
Good luck and speedy recovery! Malic and I will be ready when you are. Just give me a call!

Prayers go out to you Boston Bob! Hope you have a speedy recovery!

Hang loose, Big Bob! Glad you decided to have the surgery. Hope things go well and you are back on the lake soon.

Praying for you Bob!

Hey Guys,
Thanks for all of the prayers and encouragement for Bob.
Here is an update they did not take him until 11:00 this morning it is suppose to be a three hour surgery b/c one hip being replaced and the other was having core decompression done to it.

So it is 1:21 I should be hearing from the doc soon.... I will let you all know how he is doing in a little bit.

once again thanks for prayers and thoughts. Surgery is a hard thing to take especially if it is your first EVER!!!!!!

Mrs Boston Bob

glad to hear an update! hope all is well

Good luck Bob. And when you feel up to getting back on the water, let me know. I'll haul you out and load you up in the boat so you can sit back, drink a cold one with one hand and hold a rod with the other.

Will keep you and your family in my prayers for a while, and good luck with the rehab. Don't know much about rehab for hips, other than the MIL having hers replaced, but push it as hard as you can tolerate, and then push it a little farther the following trip, or following week.

Hello All,

Just to let you know Bob is out of Surgery. Everything went well!! He is at Presby Plano I dont know what room yet if you want to call him later he will have his cell phone with him.


Mrs. Boston Bob

Thanks for the update, I am glad everything went well.

Best wishes Bob.

excellent news!

come on guys, lets sneak him in some "liquid medication". get well soon buddy

Great News , so is he gonna be on the lake this afternoon or tomorrow?

Get well soon Boston Bob. Glad to know all went well.

Barry

Here's to a speedy recovery, BB

I haven't met you but feel like I have thru TFF. I wish you all the best and I am glad to hear the surgery went well.

Prayers sent for a speedy recovery.

Hey guys!!!!!! I really appreciate the prayers and kind words. So far so good with this. I have an epidural (sp?) so I really don't feel a thing from the waste down. I will know more about how this feels in the morning, when they take me off the morphine!!!! So far the worst part of this is not being able to eat. I am starving!!!!!!!!!! I am happy the hospital has wireless connection, and a great friend who let me use this really great laptop!!!!! I will keep everyone updated. Hopefully I can get back in the boat by March, in time for the springtime blitz!!!!!

more morphine and a cheese burger please

Glad to hear you are well...

Bob, as part of your rehab, the doc will recommend a lot of walking and getting used to your now indestuctable new body parts. doing my part for your therapy, i got the trails along my crappie creeks all set for ya. the exercise will strengthen you hips and whatever else they fix, and consuming massive quantities of crappie that i will hopefully put you on to catch surely won't hurt anything.

God speed Pal!

All the best for a quick comeback

Rudy

If you come back in March, I will take you up cow creek in my lil boat and we will catch a ton of spawning sandies, creek style! See we got you all set up!!! Get out of that bed and quit flirting with those nurses!

Rudy

Too bad my nurses look like Nurse Ratchet!!!! Sounds like a plan to catch fish, but I don't know about a small boat. My hips may not be good enough for that. I might need a place to fish from shore in about 3-4 weeks. The crappie still in some of your "urban spots"??

Bob,
Do you have your X-Box with you? I know you'll go into withdrawls with out it. Don't know how that morphine will effect your play though.
