Long after the media spotlight is gone, we’re going to be repairing, rebuilding, trying to catch back up, trying to heal, trying to fill the holes these months left. It’s like a whole second pandemic for us.

6 days after returning from Panama, I had outpatient surgery for a total left knee replacement. This was my third joint replacement (Rt Knee Jan 2016, left hip Nov 2025). Look Out Col Steve Austin. All is going well, but knees are tough, one must strictly follow the rehab exercises especially in the first two weeks - there's a limited window to get range of motion back 😰.
So far so good. I’m keeping up on exercises, and ditched the walker for a cane today. 🤞
