Prayers and Thoughts to Bobthebuilder
As many of you know Bobthebuilder in his brand new 50' diesel Nor tech just set a new speed record traveling by boat from Key West to Cancun. Bob and his crew did an amazing job and are all still pretty excited. Unfortunately for Bob shortly before the return trip a stumble at the dock has resulted in a shoulder injury that will require some serious surgery. He will be having his surgery Wednesday at the Cleveland Clinic.
Many of you have met Bob and of course so many more know him from OSO as one of the true champions and gentlemen of offshore boating. Please join me in wishing him a successful surgery and speedy recovery so he can get back to the sport he truly loves. Bob we are all praying for you. This is what he posted on another thread about the injury The rotator cuff is majorly torn and the upper part of the bicept muscle that goes over the shoulder has been pulled down in front. I am scheduled for surgery this Wed. the 2nd to have everything put back where it belongs. This is really gonna cramp my boating style for awhile, but did not stop me from getting out on the water this weekend. |
Good luck and prayers going up now.

Tracy, I am sick about having to miss Boyne. The fam overruled me and for once I need to listen to them and the doc. :mad:

Get through the surgery and get well soon! |
O.K. Bob, time to take it easy for awhile. Proper rest and rehab is key for a complete recovery.
I just want to know how close Hans was standing next to you when you "fell", you know he wears that Predator shirt everywhere. I 'll ask Terry for his witness statement later............... Please get well soon, and let us know what we can do for you this time!!!!! |
Bob, I got bucked off a horse 3-4 years ago and torn my shoulder up bad, the top tendon was torn off the bone, the peck muscle was completely torn and the rear was 1/2 torn. The best advise I got was the doctors can only do 40% the final 60% is you and rehab. My big advise is get in a pool and start to move it as soon as the doctors give you the Ok. Also the physical theropy is extremely important, you get out what you put in. Mine took about 8 months before it was close to normal and that was with alot of hard work. Sleeping took a long time to get use to sitting up so you didn't lay on the shoulder, then it took just as long to get use to sleeping laying down. Good luck with the surgery

Good luck on a speedy recovery Bob.
Just look at it like this.... Not to many people can say they injured themselves in the midst of breaking a world record!!! I will say a prayer for you big guy. Take care. Chuck |
God bless you Bob and prayers for a speedy recovery. Mark
|
Best Wishes Bob. Here's to a speedy recovery!
|
Good luck with the Surgery Bob, been through it many years ago and my son just a few from sports injuries.... A good orthopedic surgeon can do wonders these days...it just takes a while to get back to normal...
Jim |
Best of Luck Bob!
I'm sure one way or another I will see you up in 1000 Islands! |
Get well soon Bob, take care of you ...

i had shoulder surgery last october at rogue valley hospital in ajax/pickering. had a bad water skiing fall and took a couple bad beats snowboarding so after a while it kept slipping out of the socket. it seems to be all better today, and was worth being laid up for a couple months.
good luck with the surgery! wish you all the best! |
I hope that you have a speedy recovery. You will be back on the water before you know it.

Bob,
From the few times we talked I pegged you as an achiever and a minor setback like this to you is more than likely seen as part of the small bumps on the path to attain & accomplish great things. Hope everything turns out fine I know you will make it happen that way! GL

Recover rapidly, we're wishing you all the best.

Best of luck on the surgery and recovery. I had my left shoulder done where they tried to shrink the tendons back, worked for a while, get it taken care of quickly.

I just checked the Physical Therapy prescriptive bible. Throttling is not listed under any form of physical rehab. :rolleyes:
Get well quickly. T |
