Just had my followup with the surgon today. He said get past the 4 weeks of 10 lbs, and then just slowly ease into normal lifitng again since I'm not used to it anymore. So a little more than a week to go and I can get back at it a little more.
I still won't be rolling duals around for a while (atleast not the 38' ones) but by summer I should be more than ready to go, and not tied to a stinkin pill every day.
With that bit of new information, I feel a lot better and I can tough it out another week , and then it's Easter anyway so after that I can get back to normal wrenching.

One of the nurses told me last year he was ranked 4th in the nation with the procedure.

You got to understand that while my Mom is a hard worker who will always help whenever she can... she had never operated farm machinery before that day. Dad got her out there, explained how the clutch was the same as in our o
