I hadn't realized it had been so long since I'd posted an "Observations," so it got over-long.
Trains are so damned evocative. You can see why people get obsessed with them. And I'm so in love with the idea of ghost trains. Fie on reality, I say! :-D
Wrenched Knee is better. They seem to trade off as to which one is worse at any given time. When the weather heats up, they generally do much better. When the weather gets cold, it isn't a pretty picture. Like the knee doctor said, "This won't kill you. You can put it off for a more convenient time. But it will get worse with time." Which is essentially the case. However, both times as I've approached the date of surgery, Mom has taken a turn for the worse. With this surgery, you're up and walking rather quickly, but there's intense PT involved and not much room for taking care of an aged parent for a few weeks, and that's the killer for me. There's no one else to care for Mom while I'm laid up, and we can't afford to pay someone. So, surgery is off for the foreseeable future.
