Having had a knee replacement this spring, a few months after another guy I know had one I have to sit on myself. The other guy tried doing too much too fast and his is screwed up. He's now behaving but he's been told that his recovery is now going to be well over a year. So I know what it's like to be on the other side of the fence in this situation. It's hard having to ask for help and admitting there are certain things I just can't do anymore. Get him involved as much as you can.
We had an old guy here who was forced to quit farming about 15 years ago due to age/health issues. He was about going nuts. Then his wife of many years died. When he switched tenants for his crop land he got a good guy who not only visited with him regularly but had equipment with buddy seats. The last 2 years the old man was alive Gary would call me (he knew I was available most of the time) I'd drive over, get the old guy into HIS pickup and drive him to whatever field Gary was in. Then between Gary and I we would get him in a tractor or combine. The first time Gary was harvesting beans. The old guy actually cried he was so happy. He would ride with Gary for hours. Gary would call me to pick him up. When his daughter showed up without notice one time he wasn't home. She panicked! Call the Sheriff! One of the deputies pulled in my drive looking for this guy. When I took here to the field they were and she saw how happy he was and that he was safe and in good hands she was ecstatic!

This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
