It was my luck, I got the Orthopod and her first operation of the day and my photographing a surgeon doing one, was a knee replacement! Hey it's visually cool!! :-) And makes for great pictures! ;-) However, I suggest you immediately dismiss any thoughts of a local to stay awake and shoot yours! :-) It's visually incredible and quite photogenic, but the noise from the "tools" would drive you crazy. ;-) OK in all seriousness, it's a very wonderful procedure of our modern medicine and with the warmest of feelings I wish you well and the greatest of success and recovery, allowing you to carry on your wonderful photographic career! Take care dear girl and be prepared for a bit of a few days for recovery, tough it out, after all you've had assignments much tougher to cope with than this will ever be. The crew are all pulling for you, we wish you well with a speedy recovery and your after op report. kindest regards, ted - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
