Geobeet is a free man...

“So i hear your a free man.
no im not talking ex-wife dying or anything like that.

so goodbye to your little friend!!

Happy Trails to you!!”

“Having an annoying growth removed?”

“I've been a free man for almost four years now.”

“free? at least charge $5...”

“did you lose your cast?”

“OH YES~~~

its off but now we get to wait to see what other #&%!$ he can step into and what trouble he can find.”

“geo, im very happy for you. I know you have been counting the days till it came off.”

“Oh, that free. Yes, I posted in the Injured Reserve thread. I am a biped again. Ain't easy, but I'm a-hoofin it!”

“Well .....

Inquiring minds want to know. Was the leg nasty under the cast?”

“sorry lyndy but this Inquiring mind does not need to know”

“Can you post a photo?”

“Yes Lyndy, and I am going to take a break and take care of it once and for all. See ya when I don't stink!”

“take a break? i thought you already did that! aargh.

;-) juuuust kidding, i'm glad you got the cast off.”

“So, you're able to cast off your worries?

How soon will you be shovin' off for the great beyonder?”

“Don't remember if you are a fisherman, are you going to cast a rod?”

“he can cast his rod at DisneyWorld.....




nnnoommuu”

“It's soaking in warm water like ya said, Doc!

Won't be out on the trail too soon Tom. I'm having more pain issues today than the entire two months put together. That should ease off in a couple of days I suspect. By the weekend I will see how it feels and possibly try to get out somewhere, even for a short day hike. But if it still feels as sore as it does today, that will not happen.

But I am finally at the rehab stage, the cast is gone, and each day will bring progress.

BTW, we are getting sleet here. Glenside, Pa., just outside Philadelphia) Anybody else? And where?”

“Not yet, but I just looked at the weather map and it looks like some heavy precipitation is coming our way.”

“just got back from lunch and its getting nasty outside.”

“Took some wash down to the laundry room and when I stepped out on the porch I thought it sounded like sleet, but I thought it was too warm for sleet. Apparently not. We should get first frost by the end of the week, so I'll have to recruit neighbors to help bring my plants inside.”

“Northern NM is getting some mountain snow today. Supposed to be a very cold air mass coming down on Friday.”

“geo, just ask the squirrel for help, im sure he will be happy to help”

“Dang, there was a foot under all that! A real shower now to take care of the leg and I'll be almost a new man.”

“75 and sunny here!”

“Sleet has turned to rain here. November rain.”

“When I saw "goodbye to your little friend!!" I thought you had put out a hit on the squirrel, LOL”

“Easier said than done, alas.”

“Okay, Smiley Girl came up with the ansker. My ankle hurts because it's raining! Sheesh, I shudda know'd that!”

“Good news Geobeet, but when can you start drinking scotch?

Possible 5 inches of snow tonight where I am.”

“Ya the scotch thing is very much a must!!!!!!

8)”

“CMB is that all you think of,
cigars and scotch??



j/k”

“Can't have scotch until late March. It would interfere with the rat poison. We can't have that! The choices we have to make: no scotch, live; scotch, die. It was a tough one! We're talking less than five months now, not that anybody's counting.”

“Think I'll take the Doc's other advice and put this foot up in the air. It's a crazy kind of progress: the pain starts after the cast comes off. But the pain means things are coming along, and it won't last too long I suspect.

There's a Flutters game on the tube tonight, and I really do like da new coach our organeyezation hired, eh?”

“Congrats on getting that bad boy off, Geobeet... I'm anxiously awaiting the predicted sleet for my neck of the woods.”

“Cool news, Geo! Soon enough, we'll tempt fate and get a trip together- Soon after that, we'll be able to drink to your health around a campfire!”

“Geo - We got a bit of white stuff on the ground in Easton.

Glad to hear you got rid of the cast. If Must Hike won't haul you around in the wheelbarrow, I just finished this project tonight.

Pennsy's gear (or Geo) sled

If we get enough snow, I'll haul you around and you can play with the tom tom. ;o)”

“WOO HOO!!! Now the fun begins! Good luck to you. Work hard in rehab!!!!!!!!!”

“ummm... geo, you didn't tell us how you got alcohol in your system.”

“Free man?

Come on man, don't let it go cheap!”

“Take it slow and easy Geo...if you push too hard, set backs occur that will really piss you off. The calf muscle will probably needs lots of time and patience. I tried to rush back into hiking and running too soon..three months after the surgery. I had to back off for another three months, because the soft tissue on my heal just didn't want to do what I wanted it to. Patience, my man, and don't push it too hard too soon. God luck.”

“UUUMMMM
Pennsy, what are the chains for?

better yet, its best I don't know!”

“Yikes! I had the same thought.”

“We had some snow too. The kids were SOOOOoooooo excited. I need new snowboots for my daughter who now has adult sized feet. Any suggestions that aren't too expensive since she isn't done growing yet?”

“LOL@Pennsy. What are you really going to do with it? Haul gear?

Mountainmaster, yes, nature is already telling me something's wrong. I had virtually no pain with this thing until they took the cast off yesterday. Since then it has been very painful. I will get into therapy and see how it goes. The good news is that by flexing the leg inside the cast, my calf muscle is still pretty good everything considered. It does not appear to have lost any mass. The pain is mostly in the bottom of the heel and in the ankle. Also, the muscles in the foot are tight.

I will push the envelope, but try not to overdo it. I suspect it will let me know when I overdo it. But it is good to be walking on it and being able to move a tad faster than before.”

“wanna go slickrock jumpin with us in the riverbed this weekend?”

“haul gear or geo, whichever comes first.

what chains? There are 2 hooks on eyebolts near the pole ends for hooking up to a belt.

but....... if you ladies really want chains..... ;o)”

“good luck with the shoes.
my daughter wears a size 10 1/2 ~yikes~
it was harder when she was younger cause she only fitted into adult size shoes and they were to grown uo for her.”

“A lot of girls now wear size 10-11 these days. You would think that the manufacturers would catch on and design some decent looking shoes for them. My teenage nieces generally just wear sandals everywhere, unless they are wearing sneakers.”

“geobeet, are you still heading to NY tomorrow?”

“Yes'm, via a stop at the bopper's studio in northern Joisy.”
