Impromptu Fly In

[rkittine]

I am planning to try lunch at the Cafe at Mansfield, Mass Wednesday or Thursday this week. As I will probably be in a Mouse, anyone want to join me?

I can make Wednesday if you are feeling up to it.

My Sundowner is based in Mansfield. So are two other Sundowners. I guess that means I will drive to the fly-in. The transient parking line is near the compass rose and the numbers to Runway 14 and parallel to the grass runway. Weather looks HOT! I will be away from my computer so a phone call on which day and hour would be best.

Well all bets are off as I fell last night, broke my nose, dislocated my jaw and broke 5 bones on my face. I am in the hospital awaiting surgery.

Sorry to hear that... Hoping you feel better soon. Familiar with Broken Bones... They are no fune, wishing you a speedy recovery and sending Prayers!

Geez Robert!! Let us know how you are progressing. Gravity is a really serious force.

Geez Robert!! Let us know how you are progressing. Gravity is a really serious force.

It’s also the law.

Actually, Falling never hurts anyone... It is that Sudden Rate of Deacceleration that is the Problem!

Bob,
That's kind of a weak excuse not to attend a fly-in that will be near 100 degrees F and probably less than three miles visibility in haze.
I'm offering to help you recover. I never attended a real medical school, but I did hang around a drug store a lot!
(Get a good doctor. Look what happened to this guy from Florida who chose Sparkie as his surgeon.)

That's funny Tom. I'm glad you don't have a close up of me.

So sorry to hear this happened to you. A few years ago, I fell and broke a small bone in my nose. Bled like the proverbial stuck hog. That was no fun. What happened to you was multiple times worse. I pray you recover quickly and get back in the sky.

 

[Mouseflyer]

Get well soon Bob.

 

[rkittine]

Thank you all. I have surgery Friday morning at 7:30AM and that I will probably be allowed to go home on Saturday. But I will be on a liquid only diet for a month and a soft diet for the next two months after that.

Sorry to hear of your misfortune. Take it easy and do what the doctors say. (That will be hard. I know, but, I usually regretted not listening later)
