Have you ever known me to do anything in moderation?

Bad news on the knee. The doc wants to redo it. The infection really screwed things up. I'm going to try and put it off until next winter but it will hurt until I get it redone.

Damn that sucks. You may have to be totaly immobile for a while after this surgery. Since you'll be modding the car on the 24th maybe we should work on the knee too.

After 11 major surgeries on the knee I feel like I could do it myself.

Many thanks for everyone's help. We should finish it up tomorrow.
