What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

Thank you!
Meniscus pain in for real. And I know you like your walks.
I had surgery to clean up the tears and fragments a couple of years ago, and my surgeon said "this should buy you a couple of years before you'll need a total replacement."

Thank you! Must confess my main priority is not overtaxing the patience of my incredible wife. She's taking care of me, our daughter, a rambunctious puppy, all the cooking, even watering my tomatoes.
Hang in there, honey! I'm trying to get back fast😀

I'd better ~ she's now saying she wants me to show her how to start and run the tractor because she wants to mow.🫣
I just had to laugh a little because Nancy and I had the same conversation about the mowing Jeff .

I have not carried a knife in exactly one week. Or much of anything else.
Last Thursday I received a total knee replacement. Started physical therapy the next day, and have my third session in three hours. First time putting on blue jeans instead of sweat pants, so to celebrate, I stuck two faithful old knives in my pocket.

Still quite a ways from being cleared to drive, so no reason not to be taking pain meds. I need them. First, I'll need to be able to walk without my walker before worrying about driving.
I put this off knowing we were getting a GSD puppy. Unfortunately, now at 9 mo. and 80 lb, and filled with puppy excitement at seeing Daddy, I cannot be in the same room with him til I get stronger.

Cut way back on my garden plans because of this, but worked like crazy getting some essentials planted while I still could.

Guess the responsible thing to do right now is practice guitar!🎸 And read some books. And take some naps.🥱 And do my PT exercises🤨
Good luck rick,I'm also on that dreaded list,lucky for you that you have that rambunctious bag of bones to get you moving when you just might not feel like it

I remember not too long ago, people with long, ugly scars, and long hospital stays after surgeries. When they removed my kidney, I ended up with four 1" stab wounds, where the robot did its thing, and a longer 3" incision, that they had to make to remove the kidney. I was home the next morning, and walking around the back yard. I wasn't walking very fast, but I was moving.
Apparently I’m gonna have a 4 inch vertical incision on the small of my back. I don’t mind. As long as it represents my relief.
