  • Fun With A Month-Old Knee

    Well, the knee replacement is 5 weeks old today. I can walk further than I could before the surgery – miles are again in my world. Not many, but some. I’ve been able to control the clutch for the past two weeks – took a drive down to Rattlebone with Renata – saw a great Read more

This section is important – but I am hoping that other people Read more
