Joe is Out of Surgery and Doing Fine

So I got back from Costa Rica late last night and immediately this morning woke up to a very nervous Joe.  Today was his total hip replacement surgery!  Poor thing was so nervous this morning and all the pointing out that this surgery is safe for an 80 didn’t matter.  I can see how much pain he has been in lately though and I am nothing but relieved.  What the recovery process might be from the surgery it won’t be as bad as the constant pain he is in now.  He can hardly even get bent don’t to tie his shoe anymore it is so bad!

But I just talked to the doctor and he said Joe is just fine.  He is in recovery now so I am waiting to be able to go back and visit him.  The doctor said his hip was just really bad, one of the worst he has seen.  He said the arthritis in it was so bad that the bone had even begun to change shape.  No wonder he has been in such terrible pain for so long.

The doctor did say that when the other hip starts to go, which it will, Joe definitely won’t wait this long again. He will feel so much better so quickly that he will get the other one done faster.  But, apparently getting the left hip fixed will buy a lot of time on the right one.

Anyway, I have been sitting in this waiting room for 7 hours now!  I want to go and see him. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

On a more fun note: I have never made a secret out of the fact that I would like to see Ladies Events abolished.  I am happy to report that some friends of mine, The Tiltboys, all dressed up as women to play in the WPT Ladies Event at the Bellagio on Sunday.  If they had managed to cash (as if they had a chance with the hose and the heels on) they were going to donate all their winnings to charity.  While they didn’t cash, none of them were turned away   I was so happy about that!  the fact is that they can’t stop men from playing in these events since that would be discrimination.  So I hope all you men out there will show up for the WSOP Ladios Only Hold’em and crash that party too!.  Maybe I will enter the Seniors Event…although, unfortunately, I am inching closer to being able to play that baby outright! lol

I think, in honor of my brother and Erik Seidel, I am going to an institute a Jews over 6’5″ event.  Why Not?  It makes about as much sense to me as a Ladies Event since playing skill is as much determined by your height as your sex

Anyway, here are the pictures of the Tiltboys from Sunday
