The admiral comes home today from the hospital. Total knee replacement Tuesday; second one, first done last summer. This was the right knee, gas/brake pedal leg so she won't be able to drive for 10 weeks. Surgery went very well, actually better than last year. She won't have to use the mechanical leg flexing machine (the rack!) this time. Had over 90 degree movement yesterday, which they said is very good! Daughter comes in tonight from St. Louis to help out.

Sounds like she's off to a great start! She'll be crawling on your foredeck in no time!

David,
Glad to hear she's doing so well. My dad had both his knees done as well. The first one he spent on the continuous motion machine for a long time, but he learned his lesson from the first one & got himself into better shape for the second. That one went pretty well, he was back out on the golf course in 3-4 months it seems like.

Rita & I wish her a speedy recovery.
