My knee replacement surgery is tomorrow. I'm calling 2014 "The Year of the Knee." It started in January with that cortisone shot that apparently introduced staph into my body (an absolutely freak occurrence according to all) and proceeded through many months of knee strengthening and learning to walk again.
So now I will go back a few steps - use a walker for a bit. However the knee will be stronger and the arthritis gone.
I hope to travel to the East coast, swing down South, back to the West and then up to Oregon for the months of October and November. I look forward to long, lazy conversations with good friends I have not seen in many years. It will be, by necessity, a physically easy trip and I plan to do a lot of it by train. See more of this wonderful country. It should be lovely.
I assume that by December my knee - and my life - will be back to normal.
I learned a lot about myself in this Year of the Knee. I am also glad the experience soon ends!
Wish me well.
