Tongtu Outdoor.....welcome to My Journey.....I'll assume that your comment was directed at ITTOG.....and based on my appointment with the Orthopedic Surgeon this morning, I agree completely.....
Ace.....that sucks.....how you doing ? Just this morning the Orthopedic Surgeon said to me that a blood clot was a possibility with the hip replacement.....a very dangerous possibility he said.....keep us posted.....wish you a quick rebound.....and thanks.....
Halseyt / ITTOG.....this morning's appointment with the Orthopedic Surgeon was an unusual one.....after a review of the x-rays he said that my hip was in bad shape.....one of the worst that he'd ever seen. That being said, he was astonished that my pain was not off the charts. I'm actually back to 15 mile days, no ibuprofen nor Tylenol.....so the decision for me was somewhat easy.....no surgery. He said that it'll never get better, and that it will definitely get worse. One day I will have a hip replacement. But for now, he says the original hip bone is better than any replacement.....
The afternoons are too hot in Montana these summer days to do any work, so often in the afternoon I can be found with a book reclining in one of my dog chairs.....work comes in the early morning or when the cooler weather of the late evening drops in.....my latest book was a top ten favorite.....Lost Horizon is life changing (even caused me to change the name of my cabin). I came across this book while wasting my life away on a mountain climbing website.....I absolutely loved this book.....
Early in the mornings & late in the evenings I've been spending quite a bit of my time working on that old barn.....some of you may remember when it looked like this.....
Here's what it looks like today.....
I'm pretty damn proud of that old barn these days.....all trimmed out & repainted.....still not complete but you know how it goes.....are projects ever complete ?
