It does seem like a lot falling apart in our golden years, so its good for me to periodically remind myself of the alternatives.

Thanks brother! The Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene wear pad is inside the knee joint like the original cartilage (meniscus), between the two nickel cobalt metal joint parts. On average they last about 15 years, but I got 21 out of my left one, probably because I have large bones and joints for my size.
60F @ 93% RH, rain with 7 mph winds, and predicted to reach 62F.
Lots of rain and crashes related to flooding, as well as landslides closing roads, with more rain to come and a flood watch in place on local waterways.
$117.1 million spent this year on homeless support, and Portland is once again number one, this time in the rampant number of cars stolen and stripped on the west coast, most found in homeless camps. The police tow the shells, but make no effort to establish who the perpetrators are. A record number of catalytic converters still being stolen as well, begging the question who is fencing the parts.
I had my stent removed yesterday, but will have to redo my urine analysis test in 30 days, because my system was out of whack from stones and et al when I took the first one.
Alas another (3rd) Covid test this morning for my knee surgery Monday, which I’ve learned to seriously hate but aren’t given a choice. I commiserate with anyone who has to be regularly tested to work!!
