Thanks. I have a friend who first had both knees done at once at 68. Then she had both hips at 71. Lol. Sheesh. I'm so wimpy. You know, if I could get a bit closer to 200 lbs it would
definitely help. Anyhow I try to maintain perspective. When I go to the VA med center and see the level of physical challenges some of these guys are experiencing it keeps me a bit better aware and determined. Still I put it off too long. Apparently I'm not only rough on eyeglasses  and shoes and vehicles. I can wear out some knees too! lol

My condolences, E.

Two friends in one week is too many.

Yes I know a few that did it...One did fine, and the other spent most of her rehab wanting to die. I sure wouldn't do it.

too bad it's not your hips? i heard those are easier to replace. 
sorry for the pain, but hope the docs can help.

They're wrecked. Not replacing them both at once though. I hear it's done. I'm thankful for my VA care. Thank you Mister

Sorry you are suffering, those shots are no fun...Hope the relief lasts.

Crip walk by default. Oldness banging on the door.
Shots in both knees ? Costless.
Thank you civilian citizens. Much love.

An old manager from Sears stoped by my house to tell me a good friend of ours passed away unexpectedly last month. When we worked together we had some good times during and after work. Those days are long gone, but the memories still last. Many concerts attended including our annual Summer blasts with Jimmy Buffett.

She will be dearly missed.

Oh hell. 

I didn't know her well but we had some interesting conversations via PM. You only get glimpses of people from their online conversations but those glimpses are intriguing and often comforting. 

For those of you who knew well, I'm sorry that you've lost a friend. Not matter how well you knew Blueherondruid, we've all lost a voice in the wilderness.

And when you buy, you only get one, where's the logic?

Someone got paid - probably handsomely - to name a car "Armada".
