I'm at the cottage we will be calling home for the next few months.
They removed my knees using tools that are close cousins to those available at Sears: reciprocating saws, drills, hammers and epoxy. Modern medicine.
If you had assured me that I would be walking, getting into and out of bed and on and off bathroom facilities in ten days I would have assumed you were just trying to be nice. In fact, that is exactly what I did think. But they were right. For a woman who literally does not have a good leg to stand on, I get along fairly well.
Now, me and my bumps and bruises have to relearn how to walk in a manner that does not resemble Frankenstein. I also have to learn to walk and sit and get up without the support of modern pharmaceuticals. That looks to be a challenge.
I will keep you posted as to who is winning.

Such good news. I've been thinking about you.
