And you........now that all your sightseeing is done quit wandering around on that boat and get back to the NOTHING ship. NOTHING needs it's Kommander. :)

Safe journey home, my friend.

Good morning all and Thank you Abby,

I slept well but I'm very, very sore this morning. DH filled up the ice pack and I took all the drugs. A Physical Therapist should be here at 10 am and then followed by nothing but a nurse or CNA. (Don't worry Tal - I'll let you know if she is blonde, likes movies and is available. LOL).

I have to admit I am amazed at this whole process and I am feeling extremely optimistic that I will have very good results from it. (Fingers crossed and God willing).

Until then, I will be taking it easy and following all the instructions for exercise and whatever they recommend to aid in my recovery.

Oh, interesting factoid -- my surgeon was Joseph Locker, The Orthopedic Institute in Ocala. The day after surgery I had one-on-one PT and then group PT later in the day. In group, I learned that Dr Locker did 5 Hips and 3 Knees just that day! Holy Moly that sounds like a lot of new parts. Since I don't remember any discussion or measurements for the parts -- I asked "how do you know what size prosthetic hip or knee one needs?" Turns out there is a representative from the parts manufacturer in the operating room and they work hand in hand with the surgeon to determine the correct size. I found it all quite fascinating.

5 Minute Quickie Lube anyone? :1rotfl:

Even when in pain you have NOTHING but a great attitude and a great sense of humor. Like I said before, you're quite an inspiration. Hope your day gets NOTHING but better.

:bigbow: NOTHING but honored for your visit :icon_wink:

That is very interesting. When I had my gallbladder out my surgeon told me he does 1500 a year! Yikes TV seems like NOTHING but a gold mine of old and replacement parts.

Sure, I NOTHING but leave the house to go to work and you get out of your NOTHING room - LOL

Someday (soon?) you won't have to go to work anymore and you can get out of your NOTHING room whenever you want also. :icon_wink:

Nothing but great news! :thumbup:

In no time, you'll be up and ready to be groped...at every airport security line. :D

The biggest downside of having a bionic hip...according to my wife.

Good Morning BK A.K.A. = Bionic Woman. Setter Offerer Of The Metal Detector at The Airport.

We had a Dad of one of the Children in Mrs. Nuckies Day Care who had that job of being on call for all sorts of replacement parts. He said the pay was great but very stressful as he was pulled in several directions at once. I told him that if he snapped apart at least he had the parts to put himself together again. Nice Man but always stressed out but a great Dad with his Little Brat. I mean Child.

The good news is there is so much redundancy that no mistakes ever happen. That's what he told me.

I always say it's amazing what men (Meaning Men & Women) can do.
Thank God for their dedication and knowledge.

I'm sure they told you about pain management. You have to stay ahead of the pain cause once the stuff they injected into the spot they were working on wears off it starts to hurt. You know we're rooting for you a whole lot. You'll be Horseback Riding and Skydiving before you know it. Hang in there BK. :clap2: :mademyday:

Starting the day...with a 'nothing' violation? :oops:

668 views of NOTHING yesterday from 8:55 to 8:55 AM today.
 

NOTHING has 668 views over the 24 hours with the 8:55 AM EST 3/23/2019 tally at 263, 872.

Nevada-- 93; Texas-- 510; Tennessee-- 495; Pennsylvania-- 3,700; Indiana-- 1,311.

Pennsylvania-- 3,700.

Tennessee-- 495.

Texas-- 510.

Nevada-- 93. :mademyday:

Well, sad as it makes me to say, Sorry Nucky, rules are rules and nothing rules are rules too.

So true. I will make sure to take my drug "cocktail" as prescribed. I have been told throughout my life that I have nothing but a high tolerance for pain but I have decided not to try to be a hero -- you want to give me drugs? I'm going to take them. (Of course not to excess -- I would not want to be addicted, which I highly doubt.)

LOL -- It's been many, many years since I've been groped it might be fun. (Oops -- NOTHING but kidding!)

Thanks for your good wishes.

NOTHING but busted. I was way overdue for a Foul Up Bleep or Blunder.

Hope you feel a little better each day BK, I wasn't suggesting stopping the Gabby stuff just be aware. It really works great it just didn't agree with yours truly. The big NOTHING.

I swear I'm still full from The Fin meal last night. We didn't go for an entire month so I don't Burn Out on the place. It really isn't a lot of food but it sticks to yo ribs Ellie May! :1rotfl:

Sorry, don't see your name in the manifesto to call out a NOTHING violation. Guess Nucky gets a pass today for being hit by a bad pitch.😀

For the record...I believe NOTHING, fact check everything and then remain skeptical. I know how easy it is to manipulate data, even statistics and studies interpreted to support a view. I do not believe in absolute truths because I think there are always more sides to an issue than one. I make judgments on whatever I feel is most likely true and am not even confident about that because...I believe NOTHING

:1rotfl:

Sorry, but the oozing desperation and reference to NOTHING...is NOTHING but funny. :oops:

Thanks for that. :thumbup:

Except apparently, when a nothing...says they're nothing. :oops:

The good news is though, that you're already walking (limping? :D)... down the road to recovery. :thumbup:

TAL, I would have to take NOTHING but a guess that the numbers you post later or tomorrow will be in the Porta-John! Here's some truth for yous.

We were up throughout the night yesterday trying to help someone who has a problem with drinking. When he started to become coherent I asked him what did he think contributed to him turning from a perfectly good person and family man to a person with a problem. I also asked if he wanted to change his bad habit? He said his years in Alaska did it to him and many others that he knew. That living up there turned him into a Curmudgeon and that he sees and feels no joy in NOTHING. The only joy he has is stamping on other peoples happiness and leaving them in a pile of ashes. That's why his Nickname is Phoenix. Well, the good news is he has about 8 hours sober as of this minute. I feel sorry for this guy because he is a nice person when he's sober. Some people are not even when they are. I'm NOTHING but gonna take a nap.

Have fun all yous NOTHING'S! Later.

Thanks, Nucky, that explains a lot. You're NOTHING but a "berry" (remember him - lol) good person. 👍

You should talk to some Yale or Harvard trained lawyers. They will but make you NOTHING but believe that the moon is made of green cheese. Talk about championship bull s......ters.

Are you trying to tell me that the Moon isn't made outta Cracker Barrell Extra Sharp Cheddar? NOTHING doing! I'm cautiously optimistic that you got your Cheese Wrong! :1rotfl: :mademyday:

The cave exploring yesterday was NOTHING but phenomenal! Never even heard of glow worms and were skeptical of the claim. But they truly do exist and in a dark cave are quite beautiful.

Don't rush me back yet. I want to enjoy my last two relaxing days at see then that wonderful 18 hour trip home.. lol

Hopefully all the parts they use are NOTHING but new and they don't go to the local junkyard (morgue). :1rotfl:

That's NOTHING but Jacked Up! :1rotfl:

IK...R?:1rotfl:


At least (even upside down) you get the levity, which is NOTHING...but how it was intended. :oops:


I guess next time, I'll use this little nothing emoji...:D...so all others will get it too. :ho:

Just came back from Walmart with a detour to get my parents' their vodka at the Walmart liquor store. I had thrown my sandals into the golf cart rack so that they would not fall out of the cart on the trip. Anyway, I must have forgotten to put the sandals back on and shopped around Walmart like some Shoeless Joe. No one said NOTHING that I can recall about my shoeless state or if they did I was not paying any attention. I do recall it was a little cooler in Walmart than usual.

I only went to Walmart on Saturday as company from far away is coming tomorrow and we needed some stuff for their arrival.

I rarely go to Walmart on Saturdays.

I will have to make sure I remember my footwear though. Sure am glad I did not do this at the dog park.That would have been messy.

That's a funny story Tal. Probably NOTHING but a typical occurrence at Wally World. Reminds me of the Kenny Chesney song "No shoes, no shirt, and no problems"

It looks like NOTHING but cheese to me. Acouple of shots from the other night.... If they'll load..

Some of my worst nightmares are NOTHING but me showing barefoot to a fire.. I'll actually wake up in a sweat.. lol

Yup looks like cheese so it must be true. Glad you can still do NOTHING on another continent.

Why am I getting nothing? So over my head that I'll just blame it on the drugs.

Anyway, nice to have another poster to this thread. Welcome -- but don't be a stranger -- we need new blood. LOL (Ignore the reference)

IK...R? Still getting nothing out of it. Well I guess I just need to move along now, nothing to see here.

NOTHING but funny.

The Yale lawyer I speak of was representing the underwriter of someone who just made up fake securities we were representing as a former inmate in a MN prison. Anyway the judge in a backwater town in MN was mouth agape much of the time from the Yale educated lawyer's brief and oral statement. The law did not cover just making up fake securities was the argument.

So the judge chewed out the plaintiffs for being knuckleheads and not checking if the securities were real. And our client did not have to pay any of his friends who believed his stories for civil damages. Nor did the underwriter.

Whole thing strengthened my desire to be a law librarian and get "knuckleheads" access to practical legal information.

Good night all -- Just took my last drug cocktail and now looking forward to nothing but a couple of pain-free hours.

I hope you are NOTHING but feeling better.

I kind of thought so too. Only occurred to me that I must have been barefoot when I saw the color of my feet when I got home. NOTHING but black and brown.

Short for; I Know...Right?

The joke was supposed to be me, who doesn't participate here much, calling a NOTHING violation...on one of the handful of regular posters. :D

With KS being 'down under,' I thought I would throw the "upside down" reference in too.

You're probably right though, maybe NOTHING...but a little too obscure. :oops:

Hope you have a goods night sleep...and the pain subsides tomorrow. :thumbup:
