Do You See the "Butt-erfly" ?


Thank you for the many heartfelt inquiries about my health and well being. Being the Cannonball, a fall here and there is of little consequence. Unfortunately, the knee I've been nursing and complaining about for the past 6-8 weeks has proven my undoing. I'm scheduled for arthroscopic surgery next Wed. at 3:30 p.m. with Dr. Burton Elrod ( Titans team doc...jealous Doug ? ) at Baptist Hospital.

Three to four weeks post op I should be able to spin once again if all goes well. Wish me luck and keep the beer cold !

Sorry to hear about the knee, hope everything goes as planned. Elrod is who I would want if I had to have knee surgery. I gave anesthesia for many of his patients back when I was at Baptist and he always did a good job. Let us know if there’s anything we can do. Good luck and have a speedy recovery.

Way TOO much information. I thought it was the image of the Madonna in a jelly roll. I was half right.

Glad to hear it's only 3-4 weeks! Follow Dr's orders and you'll be as good as new. Looking forward to spinning with you again!

Get well soon.

Elrod did my knee back in '95. It is now perfectly normal. I hope your result is as good. His estimate of my recovery time was too optimisitic mostly because I'm a wimp when it comes to pain.

I am jealous that you are being worked on by someone who is stroking Kerry Collins body parts. I spotted a Hema Toma. It will get bigger and blacker before it gets better. Good luck with the surgery.
