Nice way to get out of the yardwork, though.

Oh, I'm veteran of an open reduction foot surgery for a compound fracture , two knee surgeries, a shouder surgery, and three back surgeries, one of which included a hip cut for some spare bone and an abdomional surgery to place some titanium bits and pieces. At 46 yrs of age I have knee that was declared a future replacement candidate 8 years ago. Oddly, it's currently my "good knee" lol.
I've spent more time in PT than I can ever begin to count, and I learned the lesson of listening and following directions a long time ago
