      Thankyou smile

      Of course cost to me was nothing for which I am grateful. I'm just on 18 months post TKR.

      Not too bad. Still a little fluid but I can do everything except kneel.

      I tripped and made an acrobatic launch through the air last week and landed on both knees.

      Happily an Xray showed no damage... But still feeling bruised.

      Hope all is well with you smile

Still have long way to go. Finally able to raise leg. Ice is my best friend. So again I say thank you take care and have a great day
