DID THAT SURPRISE YOU? "Very much
so. I mean, we were pretty decent here when we first unloaded, but if we
can make around the top-10 bracket we'll be in pretty good shape. These
guys make it easy for me. Week-in and week-out they do a heck of a job."
HOW IS THE KNEE? "It's been more of an aggravation than anything. Somebody
asked me how bad it hurt and it doesn't really hurt, it's just a deal that
I've got to be careful with and not break it again. It doesn't hurt at all.
When I broke my hip four years ago, now that was an ordeal but this has been
more of an annoyance."
IS THERE ANYTHING SPECIFIC IN THE CAR TO ALLOW YOU
TO REST YOUR LEG? "No, here I've been able to either right-foot or
left-foot brake and right now I've just been right-foot breaking and just
kind of resting my foot there and letting the rest go. It seems to be very
comfortable, I really haven't had any problem. We'll see what happens."
WHAT KIND OF RANGE OF MOTION DO YOU HAVE NOW? "I'm supposed to be in the
45-degree range, but when I was over in Birmingham on Wednesday we went to
65, so I've got some pretty good range of motion and we'll just keep working
with that."
