Larry,

Sorry to hear about your surgery and hope everything turns out ok. Prayers are with you.

Please keep in mind there is NOTHING wrong in doing the bases when you get on your feet. In other words DO NOT be ashamed because you cannot do the plate. I am certain you already have "done your time" when it comes to the plate and if your partner had an injury you would have no problem in doing the dish for him.

Heck I have guys refuse to do the plate and there is NOTHING wrong with them. Therefore, when you get back on your feet and still have "the fire burning" do the bases.
