Hi Folks,

I had surgery on my right knee today to
restore mobility and reduce pain. For the
last month it's been bed, bath and kitchen
and much gritting of teeth.*G*

Following orthoscopic surgery, my doctor
told me that the damage was worse than
anticipated and took an hour longer than
expected to repair. However, he said it
was very successful and that I could
anticipate renewed agility, a significant
or complete reduction of pain, and a
full recovery within 6 weeks.*G*

I'm looking forward to some quality
time at the bench followed by a belated but
successful season with the feisty red eared
sunfish. Thanks for the calls and emails and
especially your effective prayers.*G* Warm
regards, Jim
