Just to bring those who have asked up to date.... I'm on the way to full recovery from my total knee replacement surgery on March 17th. Each day is better than the day before and much motion-progress is being made after each pysical therapy session. I'm now off the walker and hobbling around on a cane while moving around the house. I'm still on an automatic CMP machine for 6 hours each day in bed at home and have a very busy PT execercise regimen during the day which keeps me off the computer. Since I don't have a laptop, it's still uncomfortable for me to sit at a PC work station for any long periods of time which should explain my non-presense on thechipboard... which I have not kept up with.

Looking forward to seeing so many of my friends at the June convention. Thank you all for your get-well expressions and cards.
