Barb - Good to read the general timelines on lifting and such (all sound consistent), and the advance warning on the dusting; sounds like a monster :). For whatever reason, the surgeon didn't see a need to schedule any follow-up appointments after the one to remove the staples - I got my...

That's the plan - I still have some lifting restrictions, so I can't load the heavy camping stuff, but should be good to fly it up once it's safely stowed away!

Re: I'm in hospital - update Morning, everyone. An update at 4.5 weeks post-op: It was great to see all the PoAers at OSH for Wednesday's lunch. Glad we picked up that mobility cart - I don't think I would have made it more than an hour without it! Stopped by the airport on Friday, saw our...

Hmm, sounds like I'll have to have a chat with my DH when he wakes up; hope there weren't any recording devices nearby..... As far as the infections... what Dr. Bruce said. Add surgery and anesthesia effects to the mix, and it will take a little bit for things to get back on track, but it...

Happy Birthday, Jesse!

Happy Birthday!

Congrats! That's a wonderful accomplishment - it's gotta feel great!

Happy Birthday, Adam!

Nope, no alcohol here for a while, although one of my sisters dropped off a box of margarita-flavored Jell-O for me :) Leslie

Re: I'm in hospital - I'm here (sort of) Morning, everyone! Leslie here; I wanted to say thank you so much for your kind thoughts and wishes over the past week! I wasn't up to typing much while in the hospital, but Grant would read your messages to me each day, and hearing from y'all made a...

An update from Leslie: Going for exploratory surgery tomorrow. Expect to be in here most of the week now. :( Thanks for all the good wishes! (Grant)

Well, I know I don't post much here, but I consider many of you friends (you should see my "friends" list :)), so I wanted to let you know that I'm in hospital right now. Started experiencing acute abdominal pain Saturday morning, and as of this evening they still haven't reached a diagnosis...

Nick - glad to hear you're on the healing path. Hang in there. Amazing how things like chewing become big deals. After I had jaw surgery, I became 'the blender queen' for a while... the most basic and simple of textures will taste great when you're back in the saddle. Leslie

Re: Returnign home from Gaston's thread. Always better to play it safe with weather. At Gaston's: Hot, gusty downwind takeoffs today- gotta love em :no:, 'leave light' was the motto.....

Re: Returnign home from Gaston's thread. At home. 2.5 hrs, 7500 altitude, nice and cool there... timed it to arrive between two waves of storms - sunny and warm at home airport. Thanks to Felix for giving me a ride to BPK - nice Bonanza ya got there..... Grant reports that leaving from...

Planning on leaving 1C5 at about 1530Z, will be stopping at SIK for lunch around 1800Z or so, if anyone cares to join us.. planning on VFR at this point, that may change.. Leslie

It sounds funny, but since we tend to occupy somewhat similar spaces for the longer flights, I actually entered a comment when registering the PLB: "If this one goes off, don't be surprised if you see a second signal not too far away..."

water and trail bars/mix are always good mainstays. Another idea might be bite-size snacks in closeable containers (e.g., Ritz bits crackers in a mini size container, animal crackers (gotta have the brand with the string handle on the box), individually wrapped cheese sticks (if you can keep...

Gee, so many to choose from.... Early in my PPL training, practicing short-field takeoffs. At a towered airport, busy saturday afternoon, cleared for takeoff, responded appropriately, then talked with my instructor through the steps (flaps, brakes, power setting, etc) for a short field...

This does look like a good film project. I've sent a message to my ninety-nines chapter members; if we haven't already made a donation, it would be great if we could (gotta love the membership card in the upper right corner!)
