Reasons to be cheerful!

It makes a big difference.

I've not driven since I broke my knee. Today, we went out to an empty parking lot and I drove around a bit. It was both painful and against doctor's orders, but it is good to know I can do it if I have to.

Well done!

I'm sure all the other drivers on the road are happy to know you are out there driving as well....tsk, tsk Velma



Just kidding, good for you Velma...my wife injured her leg/knee some years ago, and we ended up getting her these extensions that clipped to the pedals.
This allowed her to not have to reach out and stretch her leg so much which caused her some pain and discomfort when she drove.

Maybe that could be an option for you once you get back out on the open highway?

Yesterday I visited the Classic Car and Boot Sale in London at the Kings Cross Development. There were vintage stalls selling 1940s and 1950s furniture; household goods such as radios; record players; crockery and vinyl LPs, (vinyl is very big here in UK at the moment - is it the same in US?) posters, magazines and shelf units.  Many of the stallholders were dressed in 1940s outfits, and looked fabulous. The highlight was the classic cars - the 1940s and 50s Cadillacs and Chevvys were just sooooo cool; no cars since come even close. The Morgan is now only second on my list of what-I-am-going-to-buy-when-I-win-the-lottery-list; a 1950s Cadillac or Chevrolet is now top.

No extended super weekend this time.

Just did my taxes.   




Not usually a cause for joy, But it seems the government owes me 5300NOK.

Mrs. Siz must love you a lot, because that licorice is friggin' good (and expensive)

That just made me all tingly. I must acquire this substance!

Completely forgot why I came to this thread...

FINALLY got my second opinion today about my knee replacement. The second doctor (Dr. Perry) agreed with the first doctor (Dr. Hulsey) that it is necessary. I also found out that not only does my rheumatologist think highly of Dr. Hulsey, but Dr. Perry does also. In fact, Dr. Perry sent his mother to Dr. Hulsey to have her knee replacement done. Apparently my Workers' Compensation caseworker randomly assigned me to one of the best orthopedists in the state if not in the entire Mid-Western US. Most doctors of that caliber don't accept Workers' Compensation cases. Well, I suppose I was due  a bit of luck.

I should say so.  Wow!
