Popular Post Airehead Posted July 14, 2018 Popular Post Share #1 Posted July 14, 2018 Surgery went well according to the doctors. THey will have him bear weight tomorrow. A coupe rods and a handful of screws and he is back together again. I am home to sleep for a couple of hours. He is heavily medicated and pretty funny. Now that he knows the kids are ok, he is asking for his stuff. "where are my clothes?" They cut them off you--everything is ruined. "Where is my flight suit?" Cut all the way down the front and each sleeve. "Damn them, didn't they see the zipper? Those people should slow down." :I need my boots." They are in my car. He thinks a second, "I guess you can keep them. I can't go home naked with boots." "Where is my fight bag?" I don't know, probably evidence with the wreckage. "I need that, it is new." He really bought it in the early 90's. "Go get it, I need it." I can't dear. "Yes you can, you can do everything." He has a point. 8 6 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tizeye Posted July 14, 2018 Share #2 Posted July 14, 2018 Coming out of anesthesia, that is your excuse to be anything you want to be. No inhibitions. I remember I was flirting with the nurse ... with my wife sitting right next to her! Glad to hear the surgery went well. He may want his flight bag, but with all those medical issues with rods and screws, not to mention the physical therapy, suspect will be a long time before he will be back piloting a plane - if ever - considering the medical issues. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ralphie ★ Posted July 14, 2018 Share #8 Posted July 14, 2018 In his defense, even a saint would be cranky after coming oot of a plane crash and major surgery. Glad he is feeling good enough to be feisty. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I would have had the baling done on Thursday I would have been there and may have seen the accident. Was planning to fly in with a friend in his AT6. It seems like when you are retired that work shouldn't interfere with fun. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randomguy Posted July 15, 2018 Share #21 Posted July 15, 2018 So what does rehab/recovery look like? Are metal rods to be removed? Will he still be able to service you properly? So many questions! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
