Mr. Numbskull temporarily disabled

My beach partner friend tore his achilles tendon attempting to play soccer with his college athlete kids! Damn...now I can't free load off him putting me on fish.

My Mom died last March; I still have her Braun Lift wheelchair van Ford 150 Econoline in my possession. I am going to loan it to him as soon as he gets fixed so he can get up to the Canal and fish the Pier or the East Basin bulkhead for starters.

Get well George!

That's a tough injury for an old goat- my partial tear has taken 18 months to stop giving me grief, even with PT.

Hope your recovery goes smoothly.

Jesus George! I stopped trying to keep up with my kids. The problem with aging (yes you are aging!) is that it takes a lot longer to heal. youth seems to bonce back in no time, old men like you and me, well...this could take some real time. Good health to you!

Ouch George! Sorry to hear this. Having been a recent victim of stoopid pet tricks I can empathize, but in this case I really don't want to feel you pain.

Heel well.

Nasty injury to convalesce..... Tell the kids to put the boat away before they go back.... Sux George. That is a season ending injury for sure. Might even keep you from snowblower duty this year as well......

Good Lord George, playing with 20 something college athletes? wow.. talk about Russian Roulette...you are lucky you got away with just an achillies injury, if they were going for blood they would have taken you out at the knees.. ACL, MCL kinda stuff, the soccer injury that slows you down for a few months..(if you're 20 something)..

Heal Well, (and fast as possible)...and leave the "kicks" to the young ones!!!

Hang in there George, tough injury. On a more positive note, you should be ready to go by May 1st!

Jeez George, and you pick on Paul for doing dumb stuff! Well now that you have time, you and the Prof. can design and develop a titanium/autoclaved carbon fiber, fully articulated ankle support (fully sealed of course for dunking). Don't forget studs also for the rocks
