For those who have not heard, our buddy Flop apparently fell off of a ladder and had to undergo surgery tonite. He is out of surgery now but being the 'metal-guru' that he is, the Doctors felt they needed to put some metal & screws inside of him.

Now the healing process begins. I'm sure he would covet some prayers and well wishes sent his way as he starts his recovery.

Straight head or Roberson, Are they the correct finish for the arm restoration as per the manual?

Like everyone else, just adding my best wishes for a speedy (and full) recovery!

FLOP: Get well SOON. Follow the Dr's orders.
I'm having major hip replacement surgery (was done 8 yrs ago, titanium joint flaking and have 2 pseudo tumors AND it's infected so e/thing has to come out, kill the infection and in a few months re-construct the hip, many recalls on replacement hardware and many lawsuits, going to be laid up a long time and not posting for a few weeks) on the 7th and NOT looking forward to it.

FLOP: HANG IN THERE, and stay off ladders.
