Things are going well. Flexibility is slowly returning. My endurance is increasing. Can't smoke for awhile so all my high quality free time is spent bored. Shaved all my facial hair and scared my kids.

Glad to hear things are going well Baron. Hope things only continue to get better. Just think, all this time not doing certain things, I.E. smoking your gars, will make it that much more pleasurable when you can again.

Can't believe you shaved your Grizzly Adams, Baron!

Glad to hear things are going well in your recovery.

Don't go setting off any metal dectectors, now. (or maybe that's why you shaved the beard?) LOL

Hey Baron,

If it's any consolation to you, I just smoked my first cigar after two weeks, and it was fantastic!!! To give you some context, I haven't gone hardly even two days without a cigar in years. But with getting sick recently and then some cold weather, the days just went by. Last night I lit up a Rocky Patel Sungrown, and it was amazing how intricate my taste buds were. I'm almost tempted to start taking regular sabbaticals from smoking, just to enjoy the subtleties of flavor more.

Man, I hope this is in regards to your recent surgery and not some amateur porn blog.

Hey Baron...

Let us know when you are ready to light one up again. We will try to set something up. Also, if you need a ride, Tank'll pick you up and drop you off.

Let us know.

Well I got sixty staples removed today. Xrays show new bone growth already which is a great sign. The doc was quite excited. He says Outpatient PT is the way to go but no driving. Also gave the okay for me to try the exercise bike as long as I only peddle with one foot.

I didn't ask about smoking cigars because he thinks I am high risk for infection or blood clots. I figure smoking isn't in the cards yet.

Saw my X-rays for the first time. Unreal, two plates at ninety degrees with over forty screws. He said my custom plate was with in a mm of tolerance.

Thanks for all your prayers and support. Things are improving.

Yesterday I was able to tolerate several full revolutions on the exercise bike. So flexibility is still improving. Continue to lift my little weight bar and do my chair exercises. Next week I will sign up for PT at my gym.

You're not dead yet?

Man, how many chunks of metal do we have to get people to lodge in your body before you kick it so we can come over & steal your foot locker. 😉

Baron, I am sorry but I had no idea as to what you may have been going through.

I hope that you have a quick and complete recovery from whatever it is that afflicts you, brother.

You are a good man.
