      RIGHT!  well there was another Lyn who said she had NO PAIN, and was asked by the surgeon to return so he could 'show her off' to his students!  That's why I said it must be the name!!!  But six days of sickness is truly horrible . . .and I think  really in spite of a slow start I've more of less caught up . . Bend isn't as good as it could be (some people report bends of 150 which is more than my good leg!) but it's over 100, and lets me do what I want to do, which these days is really not that much! . . .If I could stop the pain and numbness in the thigh,  that would be a bonus, and it would be nice to have normal feet again . . .buy hey, I can walk two kms in twenty minutes, which is a lot better than before!
