Day 94 Taking a break


We are of for a couple of days to the RUHR area in Germany

See you in a few days



Day 93 Satisfaction

Statistics show that most people are very satisfied with their replacement knee(s). The operation can of course go wrong, but the majority are a routine procedure for orthopedic surgeons.

The mortality rate in the UK is 0.5 %.
So it's probably safer than crossing the road :~)



By younger people, they mean the age group 50 to 65.

Replacements last an average of 15 years, but can last a lot longer if one is careful not to indulge in heavy sports etc.





Losing weight helps too.....................

...and while looking for illustrations, I came across this gem (and more)
"I didn't fight my way to the top of the food chain to be a vegetarian."

Day 92 Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Since my knee is more bendy, I have been sleeping a lot better. No more tossing and turning and feeling wrung out in the mornings...

But now I sleep like a log or my favorite animal :~))

              

The only thing to wake me up now are these b......'s

day 90 Knee Kicker

Just to get back to the subject of knees...............


NO !  It's not at all what you were thinking....






It's actually a device for getting fitted carpets into tight corners :~)))





How to Use a Carpet Knee Kicker:

- Start in one corner of the room.
- Push the teeth of the knee kicker into the carpet
  approximately 1 inch from the wall.
                                           - Slam your knee swiftly into the cushioned end of
                                             the kicker to hook the carpet onto the tack strip.
                                           
                             AGGGGHHHHH _ not something for me then !!

WARNING!
Serious knee injuries frequently result when carpet layers kneel on hard surfaces and use a knee kicker to install carpet.
