[KMLFAMILY]

DR. SUMMEROFF? I hope.Good luck

[Rootsy]

having suffered through a seperated shoulder, dislocated shoulder (2) and ever so slightly torn rotator i can relate... hope everything goes well and you are back at it in no time! THINK SMALLLLLLL INCISIONS... Sure makes lifting stuff a B#%^&H though. AHHHHH the joys of hockey...

[Bryan Tuvell 33ZX]

Good luck DIGGER, sorry I missed your call the other day, we were at SMLake already.
Conditions was in our favor, 65 degrees, 20 to 25 MPH winds....
Not a great day for some of the lake boats!

We would like you to join us next year.
DONZI's ROCK!

[Brad Lyon]

Dear Digger,

I've heard about what is happining and im very sad. i hope you feel better soon. sincerely, Kyle

The whole lyon family is sad. Ashton

Digger, I read aloud that you were going in for surgery and my sons wanted to let you know that they are thinking of you and we all hope everything goes well for you. You made quite an impression on them in Kentucky. They were both sad when we could not seem to be at the same place at the same time so they could get a picture taken with you. Maybe after you are feeling better if you have a picture of yourself that you could send to them they would greatly appreciate it.

Brad

Digger,
I will mention you in my thoughts as I blow out my Birthday candles tomorrow. That has got to help!

[boxy]

Good luck Digger, I've had my left shoulder cut twice for dis-locations, and 'scoped once to clean up the scar tissue, I was as good as new for almost 20 years after the second operation.
My only words of advise, rehab like a man possessed.
Take care

[Formula Jr]

Good Luck and God Speed with recovery. And never, never mix the hospital chocolate pudding with the vanilla pudding. It kicks, just like epoxy and could cause a fire. :D

[mattyboy]

best wishes Digger,
a speedy recovery , you'll be doing 12oz curls and
lifts before ya know it!

Matt

[Woodsy]

Best Wishes for a speedy recovery! We need you to get well in time for Winni.... the alcohol companies stock depends on it!

Woodsy & Princess!!

[boldts]

Digger,
Best wishes and a speedy recovery from the Boldt family. Also hoping you get a young, cute, blonde nurse to help aid you back to strength. No therapy like a cute girl and a Donzi to put a man back in shape! :D

[Jerry Eisele]

Good luck Digger, hope all goes well.

[ClassicRazorback]

Good Luck!

The Emersons

[Crazy Horse]

Digger,
Best wishes for a speedy and complete recovery. I'll toss back a Coors Light in your honor tonight.
Best,
John

[Steven Cohn]

Would that qualify as having your wing clipped? Good Luck. Steven

[Donzi Jenn]

Digger,

Wishing you a speedy recovery - I need you there for those bumpy rides! wink

[ToonaFish]

It's 12:15... perhaps in salute to our fallen brother we should quietly excuse ourselves from our appointed duties and go lift an adult beverage in his honor? :D

Get well soon!

Bunches,

Celene 'completed her stint as Nurse Goodbody'

[Ranman]

Digger, Best wishes on a speedy recovery. Hope to see you at Winni in July. Randy

[Dr. Dan]

Digger, Liz and I will Drink a "Get Well" toast to you in our new :D Official Shot Glass :D , and we'll polish the coin for Luck!...Doc

[GEOO]

OK... Diggers not here, Let's get him. Let's hear some good stuff. Or make it up.. GEOO

[Nick Cambron]

Digger,

Good Luck!! If you need a little pain relief after the operation, don't forget the stuff that comes in the red wax-topped bottle!! Take Care.

[ToonaFish]

GEOO's got the right idea.. but hey, what about sending a stripper to his hospital room? He's immobile, right?

Bunches,

Celene 'mulling over the possibilities'

[Doug L.]

Good Luck Digger

Digger-Soon as they let you outta the horsepistol,get yerself an autopilot and a throttle-woman, and yer back is business!Good Luck in the O-room! :D

[Howe]

Just talked to my brother, (Digger), and he is doing well. The operation was a success with no complications. He will be picked up tomorrow morning by our parents who drove down from NH.

He asked that I pass along how surprised he was about the amount of replies to this thread. He will be back on this board and in his Donzi this weekend. :D

[ToonaFish]

Dear Howie,

Thanks for the update! Don't let him get a swollen head to match the swollen shoulder... tell him it was a slow Donzi news day, thus he was our leading story. (Whew, I just have time to cancel the exotic dancer before Mom and Dad arrive!)

Bunches,

Celene 'the other' Howard

[GEOO]

Alright Guys Digger is doing fine; Lets get him...

[ToonaFish]

[Bad-Tat]

Digger,
Glad to hear that all went well with your surgery.
You do know that part of your rehab is driving your ZX!!!

[tailwind]

Best regards for a quick and easy recov!

Will be up in the Quantico area shortly, (NRL) with the Bonanza, Will hookup
if feeling able. Best Regards and "Blue Skies"!

Randy

[mattyboy]

Glad to hear it Digger!
now don't rush your recovery start small, perhaps
1oz throw backs, then work up to 7oz curls, then once you've done a couple of reps of those, try 120z or 16oz clean and jerks :D wink

feel better soon, wait til the guys on the flight line get a hold of that pic. eek!

Matt

[James Adcock]

Digger, Sorry I've never met any of you, but I was just cruisin' here at lunch and read your message about 'under the knife" and felt like I should respond. I've been there, done that and going back again for knee operation #8. Stupid or what? Anyways, Good luck with your recovery and work like h_ll in rehab. I'll be back to read about your progress. Later, Rooster

[Extreme Measures]

DIGGER
HOPE ALL GOES WELL. GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR OPERATION.

[GEOO]

[Bryan Tuvell 33ZX]

DIGGER, we miss you pal, when you finally catch up on this thread, mark your calendar for 5 and 6 July, our club is running from Va Beach to Coinjock, NC, setting up for the night then a run to Manteo to dock, shop eat and have fun...

As we said, we would host you, you could launch here and run with us or be our guest in our boat.
I booked most (rooms and slips) of what was left of Midway Marina today in Coinjock...

Stay in touch, I hope all went well for you, in fact riding might be good a good healing idea.
Bryan & Nancy

[Digger]

holy cow...nothing for me to say except thank you, for your good wishes and your humor. can't really explain what it was like to read all of your posts...

currently at home, drugged up to the beejezus. procedure went well. I will hit the rehab like a madman... as soon as i can see straight. sawbones say prognosis is good... flying future is not in doubt-

thank you again, very much

[green16]

Good luck Digger. Wishing you a speedy recovery. Just don't slip the first time you take a shower like my brother in law. If the nurses want to walk you to the bathroom the first time say "yes please" because you will be light headed after you stand up.
Wait till they say okay go to rehab and only go as hard as they let you at first. Go for the gusto after they say it is okay to do so.
Have the patience to do it right the first time.
Good luck. green16 John Teixeira

[Bandit]

Digger,

It's good to hear your back up and running.

Good luck with your rehab!!! wink

[Digger]

damn this one handed typing!! At least I can see straight, taking way less drugs now. Now I can catch up with the board! :D
btw for you who asked the op was for "capsulary shift/torn labrum" in left shoulder, brought on by dislcoation(s).

game on!! :D

[fobes]

Good luck Digger
