If you can't do your job for health reasons, I'm sure the State of Pennsylvania has an unemployment and disability program that will pay at least a percentage of your salary during your recovery. Good luck and good healing.

Chuck do what Daryl says, I know and the physical therapy (no matter how stupid it sounds....) works, I am proof of that ! Eric

Get well soon Chuck. After surgery you will be able to swing a 8 gauge. Craig

Chuck, If you wanted a break from the letters you coulda just asked....:) As I am sure you know Danny and I wish you a successful procedure and a speedy and complete recovery. If you get bored enough and need your chops busted just let me know and I'll give ya a call.....:whistle:

Don't overdue things after surgery BUT do this. Start looking vigorously for a small bore Parker AND make sure your surgeon and hospital will accept what Medicare and your supplement will pay. With the cutbacks to Medicare you can be charged up to 15% over and above the approved amount and if that happens YOU will pay that amount.

Chuck,
Dean gave you great advise--do the physical rehab as instructed---don't try and hurry the process, and you will be back to breaking 100 straight.

Chuck, I know this sounds like nagging but your time in rehab is best spent obeying and heeding the pros advice. Just ask Edgar Spencer and if all else fails, you can learn to type with your toes LOL. All kidding aside, Gods speed in you recovery. Jim

My thoughts and prayers are with you during your surgery and recovery.
Erick

Best wishes for a smooth surgery and recovery.

I would like to second all of the above
