In case anyone wanted to know, Andrew just got out of surgery and is in recovery now. Everything went fine, but took longer than expected since the first time he broke it, it never healed correctly.

Thanks for the update... I knew he was having the surgery this week but had forgotten what day. If there is anything he needs let me know.

Not to put a damper on your cigar plans, but you may want to read this.

There have been a number of studies over the years on healing rates & non-unions (failure to heal) of broken bones & smokers vs non smokers. Something to think about.

cheers,
Bob

Doc. told me to not smoke for a while. The first time I broke it they never did surgery and it healed with scar tissue. Now I have a screw in my wrist. Won't be smoking for a bit but don' plan on giving it up. Thanks for the article.

Wishing a speedy & full recovery for you.

You could always download some movies on your Xbox to help pass the time with your favorite smoke!

The Cincinnati Herf sounds like a good time to have a few sticks.

Best of luck on the recovery

Glad surgery went well. Sorry but the no smoking hit. Have a fast and speedy recovery, they need you out there on the streets! be safe and Peace!

Its good to hear your surgery went well, enjoy the time off, but Im sure your probably itching to get back to work/out of the house

About a 2 1/2-3 inch nice scar on my right belt-line hip area. Yes, that seems to be fishing line. I can't see stitches but can see two loops of what appears to be monofilament. Not much to get excited about but I thought I'd share. That scar hurts worse than my wrist with the screw in it. If I can have them send me a total cost on what the operation cost the insurance I may have a contest like Scott did when he had his back surgery.
