walt is in India now and has just had his new hip installed.

Here is his words:
Its all good here, it is Tues 10/21 about 8:30AM, I am the proud owner of a BHR birmingham hip resurfacing! I was up walking with walker day after operation and been doing PT ever since, my shit was one of a kind, very unique case per the doctor, he took a bunch of fotos during the op, pretty cool , will share them later, but now just focusing on getting stronger and saying peace to this place, food is good, the culture is way different, the male staff are cool as hell the chicks kinda are rude, they say it is the language barrier, whatevers, i just aiming to get better. hit me back when you r able, thanks again for the vibes.respect and hang it there brother!

What is incredible is they say he could be riding again in 3-4 weeks.. It was the love of the kitecommunity that made this possible.. Walt has promised to try to help as many people as possible to try to repay the kindnes that he was showed.. I believe him... Thanks to each and every person that stepped up and showed some love... You guys and gals all " F in" rock!!! thanks again Ted B

Great news!

here's wishing Walt a speedy recovery

get back on the board soon (but not too soon!)

safe travels home

ps...maybe he needs to brush up on the Kamasutra to score with the local girls?

if this settles walts mind anymore im nursing this back to health at the moment.........
p.s. drinking at rowdy partys is bad............

thx for the update Ted!

Good to hear all is working fine!
