Going under the knife and out for a while - 05-15-2009, 10:04 PM


Got dealt a blow today...I am going to have to have surgery on my achilles tendon. I will be out work for 6 weeks and off my feet for another 6 to 8 weeks. I am not finished paying for my family's last surgeries, but hey that's life. The hardest thing will be not being able to shoot for at least a month. I have a small additional income from it and losing that will bite. Pray I don't go crazy!!!

I am going to try to hold off till july if I can...but I don't know.

I'd say 'break a leg', but clearly that's not appropriate...

Hope all goes well and you heal quickly!

Keep us posted as time gets closer. My prayers are with you as I know feet surgeries can be a challenge (wife had two feet operated on last week).

Good luck Phil & a speedy recovery to you (with the achilles that is pretty much impossible, but hoping for the speediest one possible!)
