Hi all, it's been awhile since last update post. My surgery was March 28, 31 days in recovery. Doing very well, I can attest to the other OHS veterans that the waiting before surgery was definitely the hardest part. Once surgery was over I shifted focus on recovery and rehab.... Read more.

Greetings, got home yesterday from OHS. St. Francis in Indianapolis was the place and Dr. Gerdisch the surgeon. All went really well. The nurses, therapist, etc were all fabulous.

Hang in there Dan. My surgery was March 11. I started to relax at T-2 days and was really calm the day before. You've done the homework, you have selected a prominent surgeon at a great institution. You are in good hands.👍 🙏👍

Praying for you as I am scheduled for the 30th and feel like time is flying. It will be over and you'll be on the recovery road soon 👍 what countdown app is this ?

Good luck Dan. The waiting is the worst part. I also had a countdown app which I've left running post surgery. It's been a good reminder on the tough days that I'm still recovering.

Dan - The last few days can be stressful, but the closer you get to game day, the more you'll be thrilled that the waiting is almost over. As Alex said, waiting is the worst part. We did it, you can, too!! Go get 'em!❤️

Hi Adam,
Wanted to pass along I've lost the "upcoming surgery schedule" feed on my news feed. I've scrolled down pretty far and don't see it. I may have accidentally hit the "x" in the top right corner of the display. How do I get that back? My surgery is... Read more.

Hey Dan, If you hit the "x" button, you will need to clear your browser cache for that to re-appear. Hope that helps! 👍
