Greetings, Folks!
Had un unexpected operation on my right knee. Discovered it had a major infection, and it had to be 'unzipped' for the third time, and they're attempting to save the artificial joint with IV antibiotics every four hours for six weeks! The IV takes about an hour each time. I'd gone into Atrial fibrillation with extremely high heart rate -- all of which I was totally unaware! The second day after they cleaned out the knee, the a-fib disappeared. Difficult to write just now as the machine making my knee go up and down kind of makes it difficult to be using a laptop. Will attempt to be visiting later today if possible. Just wanted you to know I'd not abandoned ship! Love, Daniel

Oh Boy, Daniel. So sorry to hear this news!
 I have been sick (allergies maybe) since Wednesday afternoon and am home, now on vacation for 2 weeks. You know that expression - 'There's always someone worse off than you' - well, that would be you compared to me right now. I do wish you all the best - get healthy!!!!  Don't  to many things at one and don't give your physical therapist too much grief as they're just trying to make you better! :ref:Looking forward to interacting with you very soon! Slow and steady my friend.  ~Lori
