Knee update

Getting more lumpy, that's good.
After a morning work out. It will likely be even straighter before bed time.

New pics of old places.

My kids with my Dad at Patio Pizza in St. James. Summer 2007
Billy at the Stony Brook duck pond.
I think this from heading down past Little Africa, and looking over towards the channel by Head of the Harbor/Stony Brook Yacht Club - see that old Green House on the left 1/3 of the pic?

More Old

Christine w/random freak at Neptunes or Summers probably in 1992ish.
Christine during the one moment she was actually "contributing" during bare boat trip to the Caribbean in 1990 or so.
Our old house in Nissequoge. Parents sold that in 1990 or so.
Back when I used to do this... I think this was in Haynnisport on the Cape Cod.
I lived in Boston from 1988 to 1995.
Me w/unknown hottie at Neptunes or Summers probably in 1992ish. Who needs California?

More old stuff

About a 1/3 of the class of 1983 showed up for the reunion.

Second squirrel down

I got one pretty good yesterday. He scampered away, but fairly well wounded. This one I got off tree. He jumped a bit when I hit him, climbed up the tree fast, then dropped like a rock to the ground. Then he dragged himself to the bushes, where I put him out of his misery.

Where I'm at knee wise

Good knee....
Bad knee. This is what it looks like about a week and a half after the arthoscopic surgery. I've got a long way to go. Doc says it is urgent that I do everything I can to get the bend out of it in the next 2 months, otherwise it will be there forever. So Inow literally sit on my floor at home watching TV with a 40lb weight sitting on my outstretched knee. Soon I'll have some more professional equipment, though. Courtesy of my insurance company and the physical therapists I'm working with.

Terry Remke Bag, New Chair, My pain med set up, post arthoscopic knee

This is my knee as of Wednesday night, 2 days after the arthocopy. Not too swelled at all.
You can see the three stitches from the three scope insertion points. Now all I have to do is make sure I extend the need to the max forward and back. You can see a big difference in my left vs right thigh muscle in this picture.

Here is the pain killer set up. The catheter insert point is hidden under the sagging saran wrap. The sag is due to the dripping. Then I put some new wrap over it to keep it more secure. Pulled this all out last night. The with stick on thing on top was a bitch to get off as I had no alcohol, which the reccomend. It stuck to me belly hair tenaciously. Ouch.

The ne, used Herman Miller Equa2 chair we just bought to make up for the same that we got about 2 years ago that arrived broken. Hopefully this one will be fine.
Terry had an idea to sing a song about being a Remke Bag. Very funny.
