CALLING ONEULA, CALLING ONEULA

Aloha Bernie,

I just stumbled onto something interesting.     A nano coating, 1/1000th the thickness of a human hair.    It is called P2i.      Gooogle up P2i Nano Coatings, and take a look.     This product really seems to be what would be a breakthrough, if it was able to be applied to a surfboards.

aloha bill

just got home yesterday from the hospital with a 10" scar across the top of my knee (total knee replacement)

the pain’s excruciating

but its just a stage i have to go through this year to get my feet back

don’t see how Greg could have done two at the same time

should’ve stayed in the hospital for a a bit more to stay on the IV drugs

definitely will give this stuff a go when I am back to normal

we take simple things for granted sometimes

like your heart or your knees or a useless organ in the pit of your stomach.

all this complaining makes me sad 

people don’t appreciate just the fact of living anymore

oh yea and measure twice before you cut anything


Hi Bernie -

Sorry to hear you’re suffering.  My GF went through it recently but she pulled through OK and has been snow skiing so maybe there’s light at the end of the tunnel for you too?

Hang in there buddy.  Don’t be afraid to gobble some pain meds when you need them.

Also, try your best to work through some of the pain early on while maintaining your range of motion.  My GF couldn’t bear it and ended up going back in for manipulation under anesthesia to try to get some of it back after she stiffened up.

Most of us take so much for granted until we receive a wake up call of one type of another.

 

Best wishes for a speedy and complete recovery Bernie.

Best wishes Bernie. Have a goal. And stay true to it. That 8-0 Griff is calling your name. Remember that clear water. Sunny days. Paddle down the face. A little spray in your face.  Accelerate. Wind in your face. Take a high line, a little pump and you are flying. 

you will be there in no time. 

 

All the  best

Don’t worry guys. He just got a bunch of new boards in the months preceeding the operation. He knows that I’m going to be all over them if he doesn’t get back in the water before too long. I think he must have 6 boards that haven’t been wet yet, so he’s got a lot of incentives to get back in the water.

Besides he needs to be walking OK if we are going to make it to the swayaholics event this year.

 

G’day mate,  Knees are painful, heres some reading material from those of us who’ve had hips replaced. Some good stuff might help with recovery, good luck & be paitent! .http://surfingafterhipreplacement.wordpress.com/vistors-stories/. Oh yeah, is that a “board lump” just below your left knee, if it is man! havn’t seen one of those for years & years HA…

  [plus , the ‘threat’ of you riding all his boards  haaaa]

 

 nice scar bernie , I hope that the chicks dig it ?

 

 

  [and , needless to say  …a COMPLETE  recovery to you , mate !]

  ben

that is very early to come home from a TNR.

Betta home then hospiital, however, too damn many infections floating around

first week of any transplant is the worse

range of motion excercises will be critical

wishing you the best recovery possible!!

 

now 10 weeks post-op from my own hip replacement, working out hard every day, 90% there, can’t wait to get back on the board in a few more weeks.  You’re gonna get there as well.

I think we should be the Frankenstein Brothers. Remember when we kids in Germany and would drive past the castle on the side of the mountain, and Dad said it was Frankenstein’s Castle. I wonder if there’s a Bernhardt or Gustave Frankenstein? Maybe one of our ancestors.
