Chuck Bishop and Research Letter Update
 
Greetings Parker Universe. Chuck fell this morning and broke his hip. He is at the hospital in Harrisburg waiting on surgery. They will either screw his hip back together or perform a total replacement. Keep Chuck and Margaret in your prayers at this time.

That said, Chuck asked that anyone looking to have a research letter done, please hold off on your request for 4 or 5 days until we can decide how we will proceed with the process. All of Chuck's data is on the second floor. He is going to have a little trouble doing stairs for a while. I can do the letters but they need to be stamped and signed by Chuck. Thanks for your cooperation.

Tell Chuck best wishes and I know he will come through this fine. My Grandmother had this surgery done over thirty years ago at age ninty and she came out well complained that her hip was a little stiff for the next twenty years (yes she was 110 when she passed and was still moble!)

Thoughts and prayers Chuckles 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

CraigThompson 03-06-2024 01:40 PM

Mike tell Chuckles if he needs someone to look after his K-80 and K-20 I’d be willing to Uhm babysit them :whistle::rotf:

Very best wishes to Chuck, and thanks, Mike, for letting us know.

I hope he gets the best option in his treatment, but if he gets a replacement, he can join the ranks of Bionic PGCA members...eh, Mike?:)

Heel quickly, Chuck, and know there are lots of people pulling for you!

Phillip Carr 03-06-2024 03:55 PM

Mike, give our best wishes to Chuck for a speedy and pain free recovery and tell Margaret that they’ll be in our prayers.

Better yet Mike, you could go over to Chuck’s house and set up a cot for him up on the second floor…
That way there would be almost no interruption in getting our research letters.:whistle:

I send my best to you Chuck, and praying for a speedy recovery!

Garry L Gordon 03-06-2024 06:38 PM

Chuck, all kidding aside, we value you as a friend and colleague. I know from the many comments from your fellow members that you are a valued friend. The good vibes from all your Parker friends will see you through this.

Heel quickly and come back to us soon.

Marty Kohler 03-06-2024 06:53 PM

Hip
 
Chuck …So sorry to hear about the pain….That’s tuff stuff…Hang in best you can.

"Almost"? Ha, I've had 5. The hip replacement was a walk in the park. Ok, so it was a slow walk. You will do fine, you're still young!

My prayers for your surgery to go well and a full and speedy recovery Chuck.

Mike Koneski 03-06-2024 11:05 PM

Just spoke with Chuck a few minutes ago. He really sounded chipper and alert so the meds must have kicked in!! :rotf::rotf: They’ll decide tomorrow how to proceed on the hip.

Dean, I think we’ll just have Chuck stay in our extra room. No stairs, just dogs. That way he can have the puter and printer by his side at all times. 24/7 just as he likes it. He would get to experience real pot pie, crust on top and bottom. Nix besser Chuck!!

Stan Hillis 03-07-2024 06:04 AM

Prayers lifted up for successful surgery and quick recovery. Get better soon, Chuck. We're all pulling for you!

Frank Srebro 03-07-2024 07:44 AM

I was with Mike at Rock Mountain yesterday morning when Chuck called him after the mishap and we briefly spoke. Chuck sounded sharp and positive and again I offer up my best wishes for a successful procedure.

Mike Koneski 03-07-2024 09:19 AM

Chuck called at 9:00 this morning. Said he had about an hour of sleep between the pain and the constant visits from the nursing staff. The meds were definitely working as conversation was truly interesting. :rotf: They will be doing a partial hip replacement as there was no damage to the acetabulum. He's still waiting for surgery and said he is going to try and get some sleep. I told him not to worry, he's going to get some good sleep when they wheel him into surgery and that chicks dig scars. :eek: :whistle: :)

Mills Morrison 03-07-2024 09:29 AM

Sorry to hear about Chuck and hope he is on the mend soon

Bill Murphy 03-07-2024 09:46 AM

Chuck, get well soon. I have had two hip replacements, both intact after many years. The replacement surgery was uneventful as was the healing. Unfortunately, I don't take to physical therapy very well. I hope your recovery is as easy as mine was. Murphy

William Woods 03-07-2024 11:28 AM

Best wishes for Mr. Chuck.

James L. Martin 03-07-2024 11:47 AM

Chuck, Hope you have a fast recovery.

Daryl Corona 03-07-2024 12:44 PM

Good luck buddy. Say... while you are in there see if they can do anything about that flinch of yours.

Dean Romig 03-07-2024 02:12 PM

:rotf::whistle::rotf:

Craig Larter 03-07-2024 03:54 PM

Sorry to hear about your troubles Chuck. Hope all goes well and a full recovery comes quickly.
