Mr. B.

I have indeed been blessed on this trip so far. I'll know where it's headed in early February.
Maybe Davenport will happen this year.

Dan,

The first time I had it pulled the nurse grabbed a hold of it and pulled it out in one swift move. This nurse pulled it out by the centimeter. It was weird to say the least. Kind of like a snake crawling out. Slowly.

I've experienced worse. I have raised children.

Just received a call from the doctors office. The surgeon has looked at the latest tests and ex-rays and the infection is gone and he suggested leaving the temporary medicated knee in unless I wanted another operation to replace it with another more permanent one.

They will monitor the one in there every six months to see how it is doing and at close to 73 year of age I'm sure it will out last me.

Thank you everyone for your support. It has helped more than I can tell you.

Steve.

Excellent, Steve, I like to hear good news.

Good to hear buddy! Medicine Knee...wasn't there an Indian battle at medicine knee? At your age you could have been a NCO by then...

Yea I guess I could imagine you like the guys in the cranberry commercial, "and thanks for your support." Now start singing "I don't need no doctor!"

Glad things turned out OK!

Fast Eddy (Steve) ain't no Steve Marriott so we don't want him singin' that tune, but it is great news!

Thank you Curtis. Feels good to have it over. Now I can make plans. Looks like bike camp is in the future.

Steve.

Thanks Chaz. Vancouver General Hospital has a shortage of nurses and they are cancelling surgery's because of it. I was more than happy to help them out.

Steve.

Mogollonmonster, thank you. I'm glad that they saved old age for the last. I couldn't have handled it when I was younger. Would have cramped my life style but now unfortunately old age is the life style.

Steve.

Silverbear, Thank you. Bike camp is looking good so let Mooshie know that she will be sharing the couch at meal times and the cookie deal is the same as always.

Steve.

Russel, I thank you. To have the respect and admiration of ones peers is truly humbling. I appreciate it beyond words. I sincerely hope that I am able to continue to do so.

Steve.

 

[fasteddy]

M.T. Thank you for your kind words. I do indeed thank you all for your support. As for the singing, I'll leave that dog sleeping on the porch.

Steve.

Tinsmith, Thank you for your support through this. As for Steve Marriott we're all better off I don't try to be.

Steve.
