Good day for me, not so much for these critters.
 
That sucks.
surgery or no?

old people are often tougher than crap. Deal with pain that would have a 25 yr old in tears with barely a wince.

Things to make sure of:
Using non narcotic pain meds to max efficiency then opiods as needed.

On some kind of treatment to prevent Deep Vein Thrombosis (clots)

He sleeps at night, not awakened 6 x to “see how he is doing”

Peeing and pooping on regular schedule (gets missed more than you think)

Make sure he is staying hydrated (but not fluid overloaded, most often by IV) and has food he actually wants to eat a little of. Maybe even bring him stuff from outside.

Lots of deep breathing or an incentive spirometer. Even without chest trauma, pain meds and sitting around even more leads old people to breathe less deep. Which isnt good.

I love caring for old folks and hate hospitals. Nurse shortages, overloaded patient assignments, etc lead to challenges. Be his advocate.
Rehab is better than SNF for discharge (if he can meet 3 hrs a day therapy requirements) if he needs it and cannot return to prior living situation immediately.

Last, will add your pops to the prayer list. Little love and mercy hurts no one in a hospital!!
You too, as being the caregiver for aging folks has a toll on us too.

Thank you. Surgery unlikely. Good advice most of these are covered. Waiting on “Case Management “ to decide on home or rehab, I hope the latter as that’s a safer option for a few days.

Lol try being a tech @Geno C.
Tell a customer it’s 20-100 to ship Deere parts when you are a dealer and they get pissed . I’m on the small side mowers and compact tractor up to 4 series.

broken U joint on drive shaft broke the input shaft on transmission. I can’t get the U joint only the complete drive shaft.

Same way with the new gators. Steering assembly is one big piece. Had to remove whole front end to replace.
Haven’t done much heavy work on my 1025R, but don’t look forward to that day based off how it looks

Been thinking about your post today, and don’t recall ever paying shipping on parts to one of our local dealers. If you want it next day, then yes. Day after is always just parts cost plus tax. Seems strange that as a dealer in the Midwest (you’re KS if I remember correctly) that Deere is charging and passing along shipping. However, it could be our close proximity to corporate/warehousing that changes that...🤷🏼‍♂️
 
@tnichols
It’s the over night ( machine down)parts that we change shipping not stock order.
Problem is if Deere doesn’t have it or a lot of it we have to machine down the part to ever get it.
Deere can have 5 let’s say spindles for a z930m in the machine down inventory. So you stock order and Deere has none in stock order inventory you won’t see that part for months sometimes. So if we machine down the part I’ll have it the next day.
Stock order no cost machine down costs.
Hopefully that makes sense.

Yup, makes sense.
 
Just get rid of that shit. It’s nothing but a pain
I got another 108,000 miles worth of warranty left on this beater. I’m hoping to get my money’s worth from Chrysler considering they gave me an 8 year, 125k warranty free. All I had to do was suffer through 8 months of agony with my 1500 truck haha
 

Looking to me like you might be trimming the best part.....leave those salty fat tails on there for flavor.

Go keto and that shit will fuel you for 24 hours while lowering cholesterol and leaving you lean enough Mrs GenoC will be proud to take you out in town.
