Good Morning Fretters - I am going in for knee surgery this morning. I tore the meniscus in the right knee a few weeks back. The doctor will also be removing some arthritis from around the knee. I should be back up and around in a few days. I have a couple of guitar instructional DVDs sitting on the nightstand to watch while laid up for the healing process. Oh yea, I also have both Crossroads and 10 Days Out to watch again.

Good luck today Tim, and best wishes for a speedy recovery.

Pile up the DVD's and enjoy yourself the best you can!

Prayers and mojo!

I had some knee reconstruction over 20 years ago after a soccer injury, no real problems since (in all that time it's momentarily locked maybe once or twice out of the blue). Funny thing is that my "good" knee is much more susceptible to joint pain from weather changes.

Speedy recovery, Tim!

Well, there is a bright side...your fingers won't be affected. You won't be able to walk, but you'll be able to play...:AOK:

Good luck with the surgery.

Best wishes for a great result! Take it easy, and do the rehab just like they tell you, don't slack, don't overpush. That is what has worked for friends and relations of mine. Plus, you will have some dedicated study time!

Hey Tim, I just started reading the post during my lunch, so you are probably in the middle of surgery right now. I hope all is well and look forward to hearing from you as soon as possible.

I can relate, man! I tore up a knee MANY years ago, and it's never been the same. But they've come a long way with arthroscopic surgical techniques. You'll be doing handsprings again before you know it! :AOK:

Here's wishing you heal quickly. You can still pick your guitar while you recover, right?

Thanks for all the "well wishes" greetings from all. The surgery went well and I was back in my bed by 12:00 PM. I have very little pain and I start therapy on Friday. I should be off he crutches by next Tuesday.

Since the guitars are down in the gameroom, I can not retrieve them myself. There are two flights of stairs between them and me. The wife will not get one for me until tomorrw. What a bummer! So I am laying here watching "10 Days Out" with Kenny Wayne Shepard once more. This DVD never gets boring.

I feel the mojo and it fells good. Keep it comng. Thanks to all again.

That's why you were supposed to put the guitar in the bedroom *before* you went into surgery ;).

Excellent news Tim!

Here's some more mojo for you.
