I went to a therapy evaluation last thursday. Asked about a cane instead of the walker. She told me that soon I would decide to ditch the walker on my own. And I was doing exceptionally well and wouldnt need a cane. Used the walker to get back to my car and its been in the back seat ever since. Pushing my self as hard as it will stand. Enough to keep it a little sore from use ...better than stiffenng up from lack of. Even quit using the buggy at Walkmart. Chauefeuering Charlie around the next few days ...since he had shoulder surgery yesterday. Lots of fun ...keeping me busy. Trying to buy a new truck. Getting pretty good prices on Ford. Love.my chvy but hate anything that will eust now. Cant afford a BIG truck or diesel.....surprized that ford's 5.0 liter is 380 hp. Afraid of longevity with boosted motors....but its fun to try and deal...Like I fot much going on right now.... Yall take care Russell PS: look Jeff....no pain pill induced sluring...lol

Congrats on progress. Yeah that "new truck" sticker shock is pretty hefty. I got a 150 in 2000 and paid 12,500 and drove off the lot. Had to get another truck in 2014 and WOW! Hope you are up to speed for the August shoot. Wise to do the hip thing now and be ready for hunting in the fall, good planning. Hope all well and getting better. 10 ga

Glad to see you're getting around so well Russ. Yeah, those new truck prices will get your attention...Pronto!
I bought a new 3.9 Liter Dodge Dakota 4x4 in 1993, cost $17,000 O.T.D.
Bought a new 4 Cylinder 4x4 Tacoma in 2012, Cost $30,000 Plus, O.T.D.
But I'll be 60 in a couple of years so this Toyota may well out last me.

Went to first REAL session of therapy today. Them girls is mean! No not really....but she sure give me a workout. Pretty sore but not so stiff. Going to go 3 times a week plus exercises 2 times a day. But recovery is accelerating pretty good now. Out and about most of the day. Then feel it in the evening. But it's a good feeling push it and get it past. I did go truck shopping.......was pretty stressful and actually exhausting. Told the dealer I was buying a truck. But under my terms. He informed me he was the man who was going to sell me that truck. 5 hours later I walked out of there with a new truck...... It was a good negotiation process. I couldn't say no when he met all of my expectations. Bought the truck for $9600 under sticker and $440 under invoice. Even when he filled it up which I knew they would (36) gallon tank. What surprised we the most was when I pointed out all the options I didn't really want and wouldn't order them....about $900 worth. At the end he just took a pen and calculator and removed the cost. When we were down to the last pencil pushing ...he asked me if I was a veteran and I said yes and he set me up on fords website and they removed another $750 for my service to my country. So I bought a new Ford F15 XLT with the 5 liter 4door Super Crew cab. More of a SUV with a box than a real truck but It will meet my needs. I guess shopping is good therapy...am I right? thanks for all the wonderful Friendship and support guys. It's irreplaceable ! I will continue to keep you posted of my antic's russell

my wife had her ACL replaced, and said the therapy was a lot worse than when she actually torn it. The upfront pain of therapy is well worth the benefits down the road. Glad to hear everything is going good for you.
I am more of a chevy man, but those new f150 are very sharp looking. The new trucks ride just like a car, get the best of both worlds. Enjoy it

Russell,
How's your recovery going? Smoothly I hope. Haven't heard much in a while (unless I missed it).
