Hi Michael,
anesthesia. Apparently I sent some really
funny (alarming to the recipients at the
time) e-mails.
I've not done that, that I'm aware of. Generally I stay off the

You get to plan ahead ... I didn't have that
luxury, and it was worthwhile getting in touch
with people no matter at what low level of
rationality.
I know, sometimes you've just got to bite the bullet and get the job
done. This has been "in the works" since I first saw my doctor about it,
at the end of June. That visit was when he first brought up the idea of possibly needing a new knee.

Please have him keep us posted.
Maybe I should start making a list of those he has to notify? (G)
You could have him just put reports on the
echo, and that would take care of part of it.
Yes, for the folks here but there's also family, church family, American Legion/Auxilary members, quilters group.............that need to know.

The numbers on my posts give a guidance as to
whether others are receiving everything from
Doc's.
And the numbers are good for me, sometimes if I want to go back to

I'm glad someone else admits to using them
now and again!
They can be useful at times.
No problem with the occasional unintentional
glitch. We're not in a condition where we'd
have big a problem with excess messages anyway.
No, there were only about 50 in today's packet.
And that's a good day.
I know; I think there were about 20 in today's packet.
Hopefully nothing serious but good thing you were around and

Eventually I suppose.
In reality, probably not likely but nice to know the knee would be able
to do it.
I'm presuming that people knock themselves
(or their husbands' selves) out to make good
stuff and a good impression. So you all eat
well as the result.
No, usually there's a lot of "junk" food. One lady does usually make

That's a shame and an opportunity wasted.
True, but the ladies seem to be more interested in their sewing. Most of
them use the Wednesday afternoon time for other projects, the retreat
for quilting.

Though some of these things sound good.
I did have a sliver of the coffee cake but I'm not that much of a fan of cranberries. OTOH, I made it a point to get some cheesecake and sausage
balls.
Relatively sensible choices, given where you
are especially.
We can usually get to where we need to go, even if Southwest does

The thing is that they don't generally cut
you a break for taking you out of your way.
No, but the Miami airport had a nice Mexican food stand at one point. I
got a sample of their goodies on one stop. Another time we were routed
thru Nashville. Delta always sends us thru Atlanta.

Someday I am going to grate a piece of maple
(or something more aromatic?) to see if wooden
nutmegs were ever a realistic possibility.
Don't know, they might have made some interesting "decor" pieces.
Apparently that's the use they have now. Fit
into the slots of a curio box.
I put thimbles in those slots. (G)

You can save them for later, after I'm gone.
They're long gone.
Most likely. I wonder about dog anesthetics
and sedatives - dosing of people is such a
finicky science, and the safe range for some
smaller pet should be even more constricted.

The risk of anesthesia to dogs and cats
is twice that of to humans.
No surprise.
