Stephen, we'll be keeping your father in our thoughts. I hope his surgery goes as well as everyone I know who has had it done.

HI Stephen, met you and your dad a few years ago at National Trail, I believe the Div 3 or the Jeg's meet. Hope everything goes well for your dad.

As the owner of two new knees, one 5 years ago, and one last October, the results are worth the pain, which ain't no fun. Some advice; do what they say, get up, walk, and physical therapy are the answer to a fast recovery. I still go to physical therapy just cause I like to go. Get a workout, find out the fish and game report, get all the gossip from our little town, and sometime have a beer with the PT who I played Little League Baseball with. When you can go to the PT facility, those guys get you well fast. Best wishes. The first couple days are tough, but it gets better fast. Once he is out, if he needs some encouragement, tell him to call me. 985-804-6161

Stephen, your Dad is in my thoughts; hopefully everything will go as planned.

I think I told you Stephen, I had my left knee scoped twice and the next step is a bionic one! Maybe I'll be able to get off the two step faster! Tell Dad I will be thinking of him and as always Kid, if I can help, just let me know! Jim

New knees are worth .02 on the tree. Trust me.

Re: Superstocker Horace Johnson in hospital
 

Ditto what Mr. Teuton said Stephen...Dad went through the same thing several years ago, and stalled the PT....he never fully recovered. Thoughts and prayers with him, you, and the rest of the family bro!!!

I raced with Horace all around AL in the eighties. A nice man that always had a smile on his face.

Hope everything goes well and get well soon.

Hey steven hope your dad is doing well. Tell him dad, marvin and myself are thinking about him. When he feels like talking tell him to give me a call. my father in law had both knees replaced 6 months apart and he is doing great now. Horace should do just fine Jerry Dunahoo

Stephen,
I would have figured he would have needed Tommy John surgery to fix his elbow from rowing that 4-speed all these years. Seriously though, the other Johnson gang from Georgia are thinking about your dad. Not sure I've ever met a nicer guy at the drag strip and one who is definitely dedicated to making a 67 Fairlane go down a drag strip. Tell him dad and I say hello.

Stephen, My thoughts are with you. Tell your dad I am thinking of him. Dick Butler

Re: Superstocker Horace Johnson in hospital
 

Hey Stephen, You get Dad all fixed up he may want to steer that Fairlane again. Praying for a speedy recovery.

Re: Superstocker Horace Johnson in hospital
 

Stephen I'm sorry that your Dad is in the hospital, hope all is going well. Also sorry about you losing your driving job in the Fairlane. Hey just kidding, but its time for the ole' Man to get back in the drivers seat for a couple of passes. Take care

Stephen, please pass along my wishes for a speedy recovery to your dad. Labor Day would be a good date to celebrate the conclusion of rehab.

Re: Superstocker Horace Johnson in hospital
 

update: dad's surgery went very well. he has walked 60ft a couple of hrs after the surgery, and today he walked just as far. Its goin to be a slow progress, but hopefully we can get him out to the races before the end of the year...who knows maybe INDY:D. Dad goes home friday afternoon

RJ, and Jeff colvert,
Is that the reason why he keeps renewing his license?? thats fine, I'd love to see the old man row the gears again....those are my fondest memories!!

Jeff Tueton, he will be calling you soon!!

Dad says thank you, thank you, thank you to each and every one of you!! He cant wait to join you all soon!!

Re: Superstocker Horace Johnson in hospital
 

That's great news Kid! Give dad my best and get that PT going! Jim:D

Re: Superstocker Horace Johnson in hospital
 

Stephen, I'm very glad to hear the good news, and I hope things continue to go so well for your father. Hopefully we'll see the two of you at the races sometime soon.

My wife had her knee replaced about 4yrs ago.
It takes about a year to get back to no pain.
The Doc even let's her go skiing.
