The reconstruction appears to have been a
success. About the only original part that the Doc was able<br>to use
was my socket, so everything else substantial is new and stainless
steel. Oddly enough, the pain isn't any worse now than it was before <br>
the surgery. Nonetheless, if any of you young fellas feel a constant
hitch or just general pain, don't be a tough guy - get it checked out!
BTW, I <br>enjoyed the Doug Shabelman mention on page 18 of this week's
S.I. And I knew things were back to normal when I caught up with the
e-mail<br>
string dismissing the H.D.s after one game of the season. Maybe Soria
and Bailey went down, but those were but flesh wounds in a category<br>ably covered by Joseph Nathan. Still around are Gordon,
Longoria, Beltre, Morales, Weaver, <span class="Object" id="OBJ_PREFIX_DWT194"><a href="http://et.al/" target="_blank">et.al</a></span>.
To quoth the Spinners - "I'll Be Around". Good <br>luck everyone,<br>
