On February 19, of this year in 2018, the official statement shall read: Had full knee replacement of the right knee. I find this incredibly fascinating. To think that another human being (along with some assistants) put something into the flesh and bone of another human being that will function better than the one being replaced. Imagine. Replacing joints. Replacing body parts.

It dawned on me after the fact, that I should have requested my replaced bones. I foresee that as being a bit of a problem but I’m willing to argue my way through. I’m planning this in advance as I know the left knee will also need replacing.

So. I offer this note and those to follow as a placeholder and explanation for rather abrupt and elongated silence of mine. I might have commented in advance but was uncertain of how much I should want to share. I’m sharing.
