Here's a Friday flower for you. Some of you have gotten it, but since it was
relayed, it looks like not all did.

I just arrived home from the hospital, sporting all new knees.  I am doing
really well,  the surgery was incredibly successful, and I am (at this
point) in far less pain than I was in Sunday.  My  activities will surely be
limited while everything mends, but I had a great surgeon, excellent PT
people, and a caring hospital staff.

I had the surgery Monday, and today, I was climbing a short range of stairs
and walked about 400 feet.   Those things told the Physical Therapy people
that I had passed, and they signed me off.  I will have a couple weeks of PT
at home, and then some rehab at a local center about six blocks away.

I'm excited about the prospects of getting back into  walking where and when
I want.  I think it is going to happen for sure.

Thanks for all the well-wishing I've already received.
