    Red face Well I'm just thrilled.....

    ...tomorrow at 6 AM I will be back at the hospital, having my knee replacement replaced. The first load of metal was inserted last November, and surgeries in April and this November didn't do much of anything.

    So off I go, trusting in a medical miracle to make me walk again and prevent me from living on disability like I do now.

    I am not happy. Just consider this a bitching moment and be understanding.

    Thank you. I shall communicate further from my hospital bed, higher than hell I hope. Gotta be something good about this.

    Don't know what to say . I have met so many people who have had great success with joint replacements - I just hope this one works out a whole lot better for you.

    I look forward to seeing those posts "from on high" - laughter is definitely the best medicine.

    Mrs 45 Below is in the 'shop' at the moment for some rotator cuff repair work. When I first visited her yesterday she was still a bit woozy post-surgery, but still coming up with some great wisecracks.

    All the best rrr. I hope this one turns out to be a great Christmas present.

    Been touch and go. Thanksgiving was hard, Christmas will be worse.

    I'm on a short fuse tonight, bud. It's not fun doing six months of rehab.

    Thanks for asking. I really do appreciate it.

    Hope all goes well for you. I really miss talking with you. If you get bored in the crash house give me a call or a text. I'll keep you entertained.

    I'm fairly certain that you're only doing this for the attention and to lay around and watch your "stories". But, shhhh, I won't tell anyone!

    Take care and good luck, my friend.

    Ask the doc what the warranty is on THIS one just before they put you under. And make sure it includes parts and labor!
