    How's the body work coming along?
    How's your wife's new titanium hip? Can she lift her leg high enough to kick your butt?

    i don't see the door yet either, hopefully ups will get it here tonight, we are waiting on the door to start the bodywork
    The wife is coming along well , the day they replaced her hip they had her up and walking to the bathroom. at this point she still has some swelling and lack of energy but she is walking and moving much better , now the bummer is the other hip is hurting , but the choice is hers for the other hip

    thanks for asking

    Yes, on the other hip now hurting. I know that experience well. Favoring the new hip and putting more strain on the other worn out hip.
    Eventually she will need it replaced. It's like an old car, can't replace just one shock or tire.
    I didn't call your wife old...or a car!;)

    First off, the very best of luck to your wife! May she be dancing a merry jig soon. Let's hope that when she is walking normally again her other hip settles down. Finger crossed and prayers going up. Now about that door. Here's hoping UPS gets their big brown in gear and gets the door to you soon!

    Oh no! Is there often a big black cloud over your head? :slap:
    Get them to check the last known delivery point and hopefully go from there.
    I think they go from Jacksonville to Ocala before final delivery.

    Sometimes they deliver airmail to your local UPS and just drop it off as they fly over. At least you are one step closer.

    I know I am not helping but hopefully keeping you in a positive attitude. It really has been a strange trip you've been on.
    If you do decide to give up on the wagon I can haul it off to scrap for you for free!
