I probably will beep as I go through security now. Not sure if I'm a cyborg since the new parts aren't electronic, just metal and plastic.

I have been awakened at 6 am to get cleaned up and dressed. I had forgotten there was a six am. Not going home, just getting ready for physical therapy.

I have a chunk of metal in my left knee and I don't set security alarms off so you'll probably be alright.

That's good to know.

Getting dressed was horrible and painful. The nursing assistant left me setting on the side of the bed for over 20 minutes. It wasn't long before my knee was aching and not long after that I was on the verge of screaming. Between the bandages, the cold therapy pad, and the immobilizer, there is a lot of weight on that incision.

Yeah, from everything I've heard, knee replacements are really painful. Good luck Velma, glad everything went ok

That's weird, my nipple piercings set off alarms about half the time.
Always question all authorities because the authority you don't question is the most dangerous... except me, never question me.

It's probably to do with the fact that my metal bits are totally internal.

Pudding/Marvin/Arachnid/Bad Penny liked the hat I made for him and the walking stick I appropriated! :grin:

At least, I think so. :P

Cats have nine lives. The Magic Pudding has used five already. He needs to figure out what he's doing wrong, or he's gonna continue to come back as a cat each time, so you have to multiply each reincarnation times nine!  :o
