Just had my followup with the surgon today. He said get past the 4 weeks of 10 lbs, and then just slowly ease into normal lifitng again since I'm not used to it anymore. So a little more than a week to go and I can get back at it a little more.

One of the nurses told me last year he was ranked 4th in the nation with the procedure.

Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
