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.
Plus you have an other half. I had the luxury
and misfortune of having two other halves,
each wanting primacy. There was a bit of a
postop contretemps when Bonnie was let in to
see me while Lilli was kept out in the waiting
room until I wondered disorientedly where she
was. Lilli was fit to be tied.
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.
[g] I didn't say that that would take care of all
of it.
And the numbers are good for me, sometimes if I want to go back to

I'm glad someone else admits to using them

They can be useful at times.
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.
But I am hoping the echo doesn't grow back
to over 100 a day, because that's too much
for me to read.
So, will you see your doc? I saw my ortho doc yesterday, got all the

Eventually I suppose.
In reality, probably not likely but nice to know the knee would be able
to do it.
If the rest of the apparatus is up for it,
why not?
No, usually there's a lot of "junk" food. One lady does usually make

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

I read "quitting."

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.
Were these last like Scotch egg coating,
only cheesy?

The thing is that they don't generally cut

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

much abandoned it a long time ago) but have a
yucky impression of it.

Nashville - not a bad town, though I recall
little to recommend the airport. Delta, Atlanta,
of course. There's decenter food at ATL than at
any other airport I know of in this hemisphere,
thanks largely to One Flew South, where I've twice,

Don't know, they might have made some interesting "decor" pieces.
Apparently that's the use they have now. Fit

I put thimbles in those slots. (G)
Which would make a wooden nutmeg even more
of a curio.

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.
I'm sure vets learned about it in med school; we never had problems

The risk of anesthesia to dogs and cats
is twice that of to humans.
No surprise.
Vet school trains them well, but the incidence
of animal injury due to anesthesia is kind of
high nonetheless. Horses are said to suffer most.
