Those of you who have enjoyed my silence the last two weeks...It's coming to an end.  ;D

Ten days ago my new right knee (Feb 9 operation) failed,,,miserably.  The bearing plate between the upper and lower joint slipped out completely.
It sounded like a bag of rusty bolts every time I walked. That happened last week Monday.  Thursday into surgery. 

I am now a proud owner of a completely full new knee, care of Scarborough General hospital.

Back into re-hab exercises and and another 4-5 weeks of home pain before my wife gets a break. ;)

There was no end of help from TEMAC:
- Paul Gray finished a job for me while I was still in hospital
- Mark offered to be secondary chauffeur but the weather was fine.
- Simon Hinchcliffe dropped by with reading material and medicine (chocolate covered almonds)
- Andy Hoffer suffered by bringing over lunch on Wednesday after his return from Victoria.
- Regular conversations with Rob D. comparing notes on suffering (his knee was replaced three days before),
Guy,Mark, Paul, Andy and Simon.

Slowly getting back to normal.
