Good Morning, Gents!
How are we all doing today? I know it’s been a while since I’ve been in but life has been busy. I think I remember the last time I was in I mentioned my wife was in a local production of Fiddler on the Roof, which was a smashing success, by the way. Well, that production end up getting extended one week because the lead lost his voice the second week. Because of this, my daughter wound up having to step in and play a couple small parts in the chorus, no lines, or solos, but still had to step in and help out the last few shows. Totally proud of her for doing that. My daughter is in a show that opens tomorrow, so the last three months I’ve been taking her to her rehearsals during the week after work. Weekends have been spent cleaning, organizing and other necessary things.
I remember a while back mentioning that I had hurt my right knee, I felt a “pop.“ Well, I had my MRI last week. In short, I won’t need surgery. The bad news I wasn’t expecting is that my left knee, which the orthopedic surgeons had taken x-rays off, will need to have surgery at some point in the next 2 to 5 years. I’m hoping to extend that some by losing weight and strengthening the legs. Before my trip in June of last year to Disney World I worked out most days of the week, working the legs was part of it, and it worked because I didn’t feel pain in my knee during that week. So I’m going to start that again. I have PT tomorrow morning and will ask the physical therapist about that and get some ideas from him/her. Anybody here who has experience with arthritic knees, love to hear from you.
Have a good day gents.
