Are those original take-off, NOS, or reproduction replacement parts? Better ask the surgeon.

Knowing Frank they are NOS...

Best wishes Frank, get well soon!!

From one of the guys that knew you from 3 CanPara, get well,Boxhead!

All the Best Frank......
 

....... it will take a while to mend Frank but mend you will...... amazing how they can crack you open and wire you back together better than before.

Be patient with yourself and follow doctor's instructions, you will be amazed at your recovery.

From one who knows.

Frank,

Wishing you a speedy recovery. Looking forward to my next session in the continuing education about all things related to my WS 19.

Get well soon Frank.

Any update/news of Frank???
 

.... if all goes well he may get out soon or early next week.

Cheering for you Frank.

Good news
 

I just spoke with Colleen and the good news is Frank came home today. :thup2:

Frank, keep on making a great recovery and be extra nice to the one nurse you are down to now.

Brian

Take her slow Frank.....now is not the time to prove yourself. Leave the heavy lifting to others for a few weeks. Best to you and good to see you home for Christmas.

Thanks for the update Brian
 

Good to hear Frank is home.....no doubt still huggin' his pillow whenever he gets up out of bed. Whatever you do....don't sneeze!!!!!

Slow and easy for a while but needs to walk around every day. Work on building up your appetite to regain your strength ..... if you did not need a transfusion, which they tend to stay away now these days, you are probably anemic and need to beef up. As you improve they will reduce your medication and recovery will be even faster.

All the best to you Frank and a big thank you for Colleen the resident nurse.

Frank, We've never met, but "All the best!" from me, down around the corner.

All the best for a speedy recovery.

thanks for all the good wishes guys , at home mending , 2 of the parts are used and from my leg and the other is NOS to me, yes Bob no sneezing, coughing, burping and people that have colds don't come near me, I'm getting stronger every day and walking in the house for now, I'm almost ready to retire the pillow and the pain killers and can't wait to sleep normal again,

Take care
 

Frank.
Glad to hear you are on your feet. Take it easy. Nothing urgent.
Happy holidays.

Glad to hear Frank that you are mending well.

So glad to hear....
 

...you are doing well....... and it will get better by the day.. You may find that your leg, where they pulled a piece of used hydraulic tubing, is slower to heal than you chest.

After two years the only thing different is twisting my upper body to drive backwards for hitching a trailer or driving my tractor backwards with the snow blower........ it just will not turn as much as before.

Take care, take your pills-s-s-s-s and stay active.

Cheers

Frank, good to hear you are out of the hospital and at home - a good place to be at Christmas. Hope you have a Merry one and a speedy recovery into 2019!

Best regards,
Hanno
