Topband: Been off the air a bit

[Gary Smith]

Thank you Rich,

I am making good progress I just didn't 
realize it was going to take so long to 
get such a long slip in the OR would 
requiring specialized doctor. What I 
thought would be weeks turned out to be 
many months and I thought that I would be 
done with the surgical work over the 
winter and I would be now into the final 
stages of getting into a prosthetic. 
Instead it's been two weeks since the 
operation and another six more months to 
go. This is a rough time a year to be laid 
up. 

That's what I get for not doing my 
research first and knowing how long it 
would take schedule. All

Sure am looking to being able to get 
downstairs easily so I can enjoy the radio 
again.

73,

Gary
