I have been planning this trip to Oktoberfest with my brother in law and best friend Betrunken for over a year. Approx. 5 weeks ago I broke my femur neck at the hip and had surgery to correct the injury. I informed members of the blog that I would not be attending this year however Betrunken and several other friends would still be attending. Next week I will be at the six week mark since surgery and I am recovering well. I think my age, light weight, and overall athletic demeanor have helped. Oh, and of course my desire to drink bier with all of you. I’m still using crutches however I am walking very well and without out any pain. So I have decided to attend the fest. I will have to drink half as much bier this year because walking drunk on crutches is not an easy task. The way I see it, I would rather come to Oktoberfest and drink half the amount of bier than stay home thinking about everyone else drinking without me. In closing I have one damaged leg but god blessed me with an extra one. I have two good arms to support the crutches. You can knock me down but I’m getting back up to fill my glass.
Prost.

What an Oktoberfester ! ! ! ! !
I will certainly nominate you as the second inductee into our Hall of Fame (I'm the first, of course).
While we all look forward to your trip, I hope it is the right decision for you. Ask your doctor for a "Blue Man Tag", it might help gaining access to lots of stuff.
Worst case for you, a few extra Euros for a taxi instead of the U/S-bahn.
Yee Ha !!
Fantastic news....
We will soon be raising a glass, not in your honor in abstentia, but in person!
Get the blue placard... may come in handy.
Just wish others had your spirit and determination.
Wow! I, as a former Marine, must salute your dedication. I look forward to sharing a beer with you. Awesome story! By the way, a drunk guy on crutches might look a little like the guy from Something About Mary.
