Maybe they will bond and Casey will buy O4B some new undies from the commissary.

I on my way to a birthday party for one of my aunts who just turned 90!  Thought I'd leave you with a couple of recent Petey pics:

Goood Morning GreenEyes.   

Bearly,that story makes me   

CBB,Bud'sGirl looks beautiful!   

Good Afternoon Trimm

Bearly I am speechless. 

CBB  Hope your sons surgery goes well. Hope your ex visit is fast

BG  Love your Valentine avi.  My grandson told me" That one is so cool grandma why don't you have on that cool"

Thank you GE!    I'm quirky about things I dread but are inevitable. I just ignore them until I HAVE to face it, and then get through it one step at a time. His ACL is completely torn in two in both legs and his knee caps need cleaning up from prior surgeries. They can only do one at a time and the recovery is a year long ordeal for each. He had a choice to use a cadaver tendon for the repair, or his own. He chose his own even though the level of pain is higher. The ultimate outcome is somewhat better with that choice.

He's having the surgery in Oak Ridge (about 100 miles Soutwest of me) next week. Right now I couldn't even tell you what day (Tuesday, I think, but when I say I ignore stuff like this, I mean I IGNORE it!) He'll remind me the day before, and we'll head out early the next morning. I started reading an article about the procedure, and got so far as to read about the groove in the bone they'd drill to lay the tendon in and stopped. I know everything I need to know. I know he's in constant pain now and really limited in what he can do daily. He needs to have it done. I know that there isn't anything possible that can help him get through it, that I won't get for him or do. I know that beyond that, it's out of my hands, and I've put it in God's.

I hope he and his Father relish those football memories the rest of their lives, because he's sure paying a price for it now.
 

I'm praying for you both CBB.  My oldest had the same procedure his senior year in HS.  He chose to use part of his patella tendon to replace the acl rather than the cadaver.  He'd already been through a lot during his HS years with football injuries.  To sum it up, it was rough.      I hope your son's experience will be better, and he will be willing to go through it again with the other leg in a year.

One thing that really helped right after the surgery was a unit similar to the one shown in these links:

We brought it home with us after the surgery, the pump circulates the ice cold water through tubing around the knee for several hours before you need to fill it with ice again.  It helps with the pain and/or swelling.  We didn't have to buy it, we just rented it (cheap) and returned it to the doctor's office at one of his check ups.  If they don't offer one to your son through the hospital or doctor's office, I think you can rent them at medical supply stores.

CBB - Honest to God, I've been thinking about asking you for a heart round my candle.  Voilla it has appeared!  Thank you so much.  I love it and might keep it year round.  You're an 

Thank you for your concern.  My brother who is still without the use of his
leg has such a positive attitude.  The physio who visited him at home yesterday told him he must be extremely careful while waiting for the healing, which will take several weeks. 

[can]

Klaas, sorry to bother you again!  Please put me into the lovely avatar that CBB has created for me.  TIA!!!!!   

Hope your Aunt enjoys her party.

I have added Chandler Delinks to the missing thread.  Would a mod or maybe Brandi or someone add his flyer in a post please?

Thank you, I don't do so well with attachments yet, sry.

TY again for the help.

[dsntslp]

Klaasend fixed it (Ty again) and correction, it is Shane Delinks that is missing not Chandler his brother.

[klaasend]

Chandler looks like a younger brother to Shane.  Very cold in Chicago when he went missing.  It doesn't make any sense.
