Hey Dave,
Get well soon, and I hope it'll be a breeze for ya...
I was just wondering....if they give ya the same legs as the 6 million dollar man, you can catch any of the nurses, with or without piercings!!!! :-) :-) :-)
I wish you all the best,
John.

Knowing Dave I think this is an excuse for him to be laying down surrounded by beautiful women

Get well soon Mate! We have to meet again

Howdy Dave,
This is the first thread I opened this morning. Many thx for passing the info on lestweforget.
Grumpy's going to the hospital huh? Let's think about this for a moment shall we?......get's to lay in a bed that is motorized all day....is waited on hand and foot.....get's to eat that superb hospital food(

)......and is surrounded by a gaggle of pretty women in those alluring white nurses frocks (always had a 'thing' for nurses

)........all in all, not too bad a 'sentence'.
Just kiddin' ya Dave

.....hope everything turns out minor, and you can get back on your feet (pardon the pun

).
Very Best Wishes mate!

EDIT:.......what's with the 'peircings' reference?

Dave,
Take care and be nice to the nurses. You'll be missed here. When you get back we should start an "Old Guy's" club. Grumpy for president.

Dave: I hope your leg issues are minor and that you are home soon. Your presence will definitely be missed around here until your return.
