Default 3rd Knee Surgery in a month
Hi gang I know you havent seen a lot from me latley. That is because I had both knees scoped a month ago. I went back to work too early, tripped and fell and really damaged the left knee to the point where they had to go in and repair it. I am up and around but having problems putting weight on it. Not a happy camper I have seven commissions to do and people phoning wanting them done. I hate it when I cant carve and it irritates me that I was so stupid I would probably been ok by now if I hadnt tried to rush it. So if you were wondering what I have been doing the answer is watching Alimate Fighting on TV and not much of anything else. I am off to British Columbia for that big carving competition in Campbell River on the 22nd of this month already have my ticket so I hope I am well enough to carve by then.
Colin

Scared me a little Colin, when I read the subject line "3rd knee surgery in a month", I thought you had three knees. Get better soon so you can make that show and start carving again.

Hi Colin,

I wish you well and a speedy recovery. When we get older, the mind can still do what the body can't. I hope the only knives you have to deal with are your on carving knives.

Colin: The main thing is to take care of that knee. People should understand you are temporarily incapacitated. Take care of that knee and you'll enjoy BC a lot more. Good Luck.
