RE: [Leica] Carrying multiple bodies...

Well, the PT will undoubtedly, uh, suck...but from everything I've heard
from people who have been through the implant process - it really does
work. Good luck! Wait a minute - can't you arrange to have Ted shoot the
surgery? :-)

Thanks, B.D!  I did injure my knees when I fell in Honduras several
years 
ago and have already had the torn meniscus (menisci?)  repaired.  The 
doctor thinks that damage probably contributed to the early arthritis in
my 
knees.  After the last trip to the Mosquito Coast, I knew something
drastic 
had to be done.  The recovery time is supposed to be 3 to 6 months and
I'm 
leaving for Guatemala on September 5th so I'm in for some intense
physical 
therapy!  I'll have my Leicas with me in the hospital, but I'm not sure
if 
I'll be up to photography :-(
