Hey Opa, How's your knee healing? Hope you are doing well. My dad had both his done and he's a new man, just think how fast your cars will be when you have good knees!
=============================
I got this message from "Bulldog" a couple of hours ago, and realized that I have made comments about my "Knee Replacement" operation to many other PW builders on this forum. Anyway I thought it best I bring many of you who know about "this operation" up to date:
The doctors have given me 3 different dates over the past three months, and each time something causes them to postpone. The delays were for important reasons, but in reality, except for medics, the causes were always minor.
I am now scheduled to go in again on May 5th. The most recent delay occurred the March 21. As I went in for the operation. As usual, they took a blood test, and found that my blood is too thin to handle a major surgery, like knee replacements. Thus, the delay.
For those who don't know, I celebrated my 80th birthday this month. I'm actually in fairly good health, except for the pain in the knee. Many wonder why I would spend so much time on what many call "a child's game". I guess it's because it gives me joy, and rather than sit around watching TV all day, I'm building cars, and walking back and forth testing them. PLUS, I LIKE TO ATTEMPT TO BEAT YOU YOUNGER GUYS. And, this so-called Child's Game takes much more knowledge of physics than the majority of outsiders realize. In fact once you even come close to understanding the Physics involved, it still takes a lot of skill to apply what you know to these 7" pieces of wood.
