Knee Surgery and Pretty Toes

OK--Nat put these pics up--kind of cool, eh? As you can see, I now have a new left knee now to go along with the 8 year-old right one. Hoping that rehab continues as well as it has started this first week. Looking forward to some less painfull biking, hiking, skiing and chasing of the grandkids! Will add more later.

This is what the shiney new knee looks like before they cover the thing up with my muscle, facia, skin, etc. Titanium shelf on the tibia, cobalt chromium on the femur, and ultra-high molecular weight polyethelene on the back of the patella as well as in the middle. Nice, eh?

Nat--thanks lots for the shot of the toes--I did not paint these prior to surgery--doc must have had a bit too much time on his hands.....

OK, so which pictures to put on the blog......

So, here are a few of the old pics from our stash. Mom said to publish ones that would cause the kids to chuckle. I think the one of grandpa Edge will fill the Bill.

One more stinkin' test

OK--so I am slowly figuring out how to add pics to the blog. Will show mom tomorrow, as she would like to have some of the old pics posted for guffaws.
More later.
