Dick, at least your fingers still work. If you can get to the computer, it's to our benefit. We need you around here.

I sort of know what you're going through with my heel still healing from a fracture in September. And, my 20 year old son had an ACL repair this summer. He was back to normal in less time after major surgery than I am (will be) from landing on my heel from 4 feet up!

It takes longer later in life, but you'll get there!

Dick, I am praying for a complete and sudden healing of your brand new knee...and just think..your surgery is in a place where you can show it to everyone too. Hopefully, you will be doing a happy "HOP" on Christmas Day. God Bless you. June

Adding my wishes for a speedy and continued recovery, Dick. Could be that by Christmas you'll be dancing like the gentleman in the wonderful banner.

Thank you, again, for the good wishes, folks. Much appreciated, I assure you.

As to that nifty banner, I think I was that thin . . . once . . . before most of you were born!

Glad to hear that you're on the mend, Dick! Seems December was a good month for surgery - both my Dad (83) and my father-in-law (76) had heart surgery in the past two weeks and both are, thankfully, now home and recuperating well. Modern medicine is truly a marvel - the ability to replace the original bits with artificial bits keeps getting better and better!

Mind you, Paddy, we could get to the stage of being like the road-sweeper character in a UK sitcom. "Had the same broom 25 years.... only had seven new heads and four new handles...."

Keep doing the exercises, Dick, and take care.

Hey Dick, What? No QT movie of the replacement? Even a few jpgs of the new KS (Knee System) will be appreciated.

You are missed.

Why, Harv! I never thought you'd never ask!!

On the day I was discharged from hospital, My Beloved and I were having a conversation with my orthopaedist. In the course of that discussion, she showed him her new CC-size ID supplied by her surgeon, subsequent to her hip replacement last summer. One side actually carries a "minature" of her x-ray showing her titanium implant, should future airport security personnel wonder why she's seting off alarms.

My surgeon, Mac-fancier that he is, then rejoined with the comment, "Maybe we should give you a mini-DVD of your procedure!"

I can see it now: Opening Scene . . . the TeeEss Banner, accompanied by a drum roll and brass quartet of memorable proportions.

The world, she surely is achangin'

I have repeatedly marveled at how large a role our many (and successful) internet searches played in preparing ourselves, as patients, for these separate surgeries, including choice of the docs to perform them.

And, again, the TeeEss wishes mean a lot to me. They warm the heart, I assure you.

Boy, am I embarassed! I must have been crunched for time when this topic first went up, and figured that I'd do it the next day. . .And then thought that I had done it! Ah well, you should be quite a ways down the road to recovery, Dick, but I'm hoping there won't be any "congestion" as you approach the destination. So. . .The only thing left, is for you to inform us of when you run your first marathon.

Dear TeeEss friends, this banner’s great,
With its clever rhyme, that does conflate!
Yet one knee, only, was the main ToDo
So how come I've rated, now, Banner Two?

Better than med-i-cation for the pain that’s here,
Are my TeeEss visits, in bringing cheer
To an aging frame, as it strives to train
Laggardly muscles back to the game.

Thank you, artiste, for the smiles and the joy
Which again brings home, to this Olde Boy
The marvel that Macs so readily attract
People with great charm, skill, and . . . knack.

RHP,

with a heart full of gratitude

Iffn' the banners bring you joy and "are better than medications" then they are doing what they're supposed to...

I dunno who did them though...
