Glad you're doing better. Surgery on any joint/body part sucks. I hope The Guard works out. I've been considering re-enlistment myself, I haven't told my wife and I don't think anyone will take me at 42. I hope you'll be sticking around the forum. How far is Bloomington from Lasalle? I work for Con-way freight now and I'm always getting sent to the Lasalle re-ship terminal off route 6. I'm there just about every night.
