My right partial knee replacement appears to be a success as I recuperate with another scheduled this fall on my opposing knee followed by a Cardiac Ablation that I hope to squeeze in by year’s end.
I should begin next year with significantly more energy and comfort than I possessed this year.
Thanks to those of you who extended your warm wishes.

Paul,
I am very hurt that I didn’t know of these maladies and their corresponding surgeries! (Is this the big payback because I didn’t receive visitors last year while I was in knee replacement rehab?) I should have called you–I’ve been getting a strange vibe. PLEASE CALL ME IMMEDIATELY!

Sure thing, Ween. I’ll call. In the meantime, please accept my apology for ignoring “point to point” communication with such a dear friend.
