Thanks for all the encouragement. I had one bit of discouragement. I took a road trip with my dad, recipient of two knee replacements done in his early sixties. We went to Homecoming at New Mexico Highlands University where he was educated and played football. We and spent a few extra days vacationing in Northern New Mexico, a place we both love. He's been a studly man, 200 pounds of mostly muscle and sinew since I can remember. The artificial joints are worn out, he tells me. He's uneasy walking around. He's 83 and says he's not going to get new ones. Replacement of replacement knees is more problematic and he lacks the muscle to rehab that he enjoyed two decades ago. I'm younger and 60-70 pounds heavier than he was. I'm worried about the end game.
