Teddy has an '01 Cougar, but until 2 weeks ago, it hadn't been driven in almost a year. Sat so long, the battery died & I didn't care, cause we ryde Teds Red Sled on a daily basis. Well, 2 weeks ago, my best (human) friend thats been help'n Teddy to take care of me, his transmission went out on his SUV. I told him if he got a battery for the Cougar, we could see if we could get it running, & if we did, he had a car to use while his got repaired. After sitting for almost a year, I had no clue if it would run, but once we put anew battery in, and got the rear left side parking brake unfrozen from the drum, all has been well since. After he got his SUV back, now he has a hood problem that won't latch, so I told him to just keep the Cougar til he gets his SUV up & running right, cause we don't need it as long as we got Teds Red Sled:yes: I had actually planned on selling the Cougar once Winter was over cause we didn't need it once. Tho, since i runs so well, we may just keep it for "Emergency" situations :thumbup: Still not sure if I should try this long of a trip, even in a car, right now tho, but I'm leaning that way if my surgeon removes my tube on Monday :dontknow: We'll seeWHAT CAR???? If ya get one COME ON DOWN!!!! you know you got a place to stay here. AND a HUGE area for the TEDSTER to RUN!!!!!
Sorry I couldn't make it there. I am on the road. Dave listen to Scotty.
I wouldn't push it, Dave. As much as we all want to see you guys, we'd certainly rather see you healed and healthy and ready for more events in the future. I don't think the pressure on the wound and the poor circulation from being pressed into the seat on a road trip would be beneficial. I'm an old tough guy, who has tested the waters more times than I should admit, but the docs have finally pounded it into my head that you can't push your limits without repercussions. Wait until the wound heals over completely (no scab, no pain, no heat, no itching) before you do anything lengthy or extreme. JMHO
If you find the answers to those questions, you'll be wiser than all of us put together. I have lived both ways, and thanks to the grace of God and the skill of the doctors I am still able to reflect on my path through life. When I was young, I lived for the moment and thought little of the future. After reaching half-a-century, and getting a second lease on life after a medical miracle, I have found it best to take the slow and safe route. I kinda like being here, and I want to stick around a while. Your appoach may be different, but consider this. If you screw up your back again, or get another infection...or MRSA or gangrene, will you still think a weekend of visiting your friends was worth it? Surgery is no fun, and we don't want you to have to bear it again. We are your adopted family, and we care about you. If you have to ponder something, think of that...and smile.
