My right knee was replaced by Dr. Elizabeth Arendt at the University of Minnesota on January 14, 2010. Actually, the left knee was the original candidate, but a last-minute crisis with the other knee led to a change in plans. My knee problems have bored family and friends for over half a century now: I hope they will soon be behind me. I feel very hopeful because of the successful surgery on the right knee -- it is stable and painfree. I am amazed that I can step into a boat or off a ladder without worrying that I will fall down without screaming in pain from a dislocation.
Surgery is scheduled for Thursday, October 11, at 2:00 P.M. I'm superstitious enough to wish that it were 10/11/12 at 13:00!
