Gen. Sands Scheduled for Appointment with Surgeons!

Official ACWGC Union Army General rank promotion announcements, command appointments and UA awards are made on the Parade Ground. The Mess Tent serves as a casual place for all club members to socialize, drink or have a meal, as long as they spend Yankee dollars! And, as much as we like to accommodate our Southron brethren, they will not be able to vote in any polls held here, or gain access to the restricted areas.

Gen. Sands Scheduled for Appointment with Surgeons!

Post by Joe Meyer »

General Ernie Sands informs me that he is heading into the medical tent on May 3rd for knee replacement surgery, a procedure that may have him ensconced within the field hospital for 3-4 days in total. He expects to be back in action sometime around the 8th or 10th of this month.

He signals me, "Except for the time in the hospital and a day or so after, I will be able to handle things, as usual. I have a new IPAD (my laptop died) and it works great for emails and handling the internet, just no game playing, except some solo games."

I have assured him that I have ordered a liberal supply of the medicinal brandys and cigars from the Washington wharehouse to be stocked near his bed so that he may expect a good recovery. But when I questioned the hospital hostlers as to whether they'd be able to adequately stable his IPAD, they replied that they were not familiar with that breed of horse.

Nevertheless, the General's continued good health is our chief concern, and we wish him a successful outcome and rapid recovery!

Good Luck with everything...

There is a lady in my dog agility class that had both knees replaced. Now she's running with 2 dogs in class, and no pain.
