Day 7 and the night of the Tiki/ I mean nightmare continues---- One bum knee joke after another well once I get to doing some thing I jump in with both feet Still in the hospital still recovering from 2 holes in my artery which has delayed the knee replacement therapy This pic is me sitting pretty BEFORE the first cut I guess like any tiki it looks like a mess at the beginning. |

Leroy, Best of luck with your surgery! I heard the reason for the delay was the doc couldn't get his chainsaw started and had to get as new one. Hope he's as good with his as you are with yours :) :o :D |

Get well soon brother! Always willing to take the extra time to talk story, i will not forget the time at OA when you had your personal tiki mug collection case open and told me the history and stories behind almost all of them. You are a treasure to this community! |

Wow, Leroy, I only just now got the news re. your surgery as I've been out of the Tiki Loop while caring for my 86 year old Mom who fractured a hip and is now entering the rehab phase! So I want you to know my thoughts and prayers are with you for a speedy recovery! An old warrior like you doesn't stay down for long, especially when new Tiki Gods are a callin' out to ya to bring them into our world! Lastly, I think of you every time I drive by Caliente Tropics Resort, just around the corner from my Mom's place! And I'll be sure to drop by OA to talk story and share a Mai Tai with you and Bob as soon as I'm back in L.A. on a more permanent basis! And my 'Paradise Cove Tiki Lounge' sure wouldn't be what it is without your enormous help and inspiration!!! Cheers, my friend, and Many Mahalos! :drink: :tiki: Paul |

Day 16 And I'm still recovering in the hospital. After 7 transfusions, a shock to the heart to get it back in to the right rhythm, uncountable fluid iv to flush my kidneys ( better than dialyses) I finally got some good news! I moved to the therapy unit to start getting around , flexing my muscles and lifting all those tiki logs. The pic is the good side of my right knee the other side looks worse after the vascular surgeon got a hold of me (sorry if anyone has a weak stomach). And the other is me making a statement Keep up on your ART no matter how you feel or where you are!

LeRoy, I have a pair of bionic hips so I can sort of guess how things are going for you. I think the main thing with a knee is to keep moving the joint so the scar tissue doesn't harden up. Otherwise, I bet your new pain free situation is just getting better and better. It is so nice not having to toss down four advils every six hours, no? All the best. |

Good Night but that's impressive! Keep with the Physical Therapy for as long as the Dr say, and even after then; there's no surer way to mess up that pretty new knee than to skimp on the PT. |

Now, I for one, think you can weave quite a story about that fine scar you're going to have. Something like, "I was being chased by Maori's, angered because I had 'borrowed' one of their statues to duplicate for a new Tiki bar in Copenhagen. I had almost made it to the river, when a spear whipped out of nowhere and sliced into my leg..." and, there! You see? You can keeping everyone enthralled, and soon enough, people will be buying you lots of drinks. It's a beautiful thing. I'm so glad to see you're healing up, LeRoy. I look forward to seeing your smiling face back at O.A. soon! Love, Kari |

Ah yes, TR..., I can see it now -- "Good lord, man...! And then what happened...?" "Steady, Carruthers, let him tell it in his time, will you?" "The suspense...it's too great...! Can it all be true?" "You've seen the scar, Wooster. Need one say more...?" "Do go on, Leroy -- however did you keep from passing out, "Someone get this man another drink, for gawdsake...!" (Libby and I will check on your medicinal needs immediately prior to our next visit to OA. 'Til then, rest well and do what the witchdoctors say... S :) K ) |

The KING is finally home after 18 Days in the hospital- --Friday the 13th I finally checked out of the hospital to head straight to OA for a film shoot / a tiki documentary for a PBS special ( I'll tell you about that at a later date or when you drop by OA). I am still recovering with nurses coming to the house for wound care & therapy. I'm using a walker and large boot to protect my leg and foot. It will be several weeks before I can sit around and tell you what really happened with that spear- from The Schmaltz Adventure |

Recovery is going well----- I will be going to therapy out of the house starting next week, I can get up and down the front steps now, and the docs say that the new scar skin growth and toe nails growing are a good sign that my leg is getting healthier... My wife has decided she needs a break from nursing my wounds so she is dropping me off at OA on Wed, April 1st so she can have a day off with some friends. I don't think I will do any work they actually won't let me it's hard with the walker and big boot but I can get some exercise in walking around the shop come by to see me if you can. LeRoy |
