Hi Dale,

 RH> Very much so. Steve found out something interesting about mosquitoes
 RH> the other day--they tend to prefer people with type O blood over
 RH> others. His is O; he gets eaten alive. Mine is B and they ignore me,
 RH> for the most part. Guess O tastes better. (G)

 DS> I had not heard that.  I had heard that they are attracted to people
 DS> who drink beer -- which leaves the two of you safe from that score.  I
 DS> once mentioned it as a possible reason they are attracted to Michael.

So we need to know Michael's blood type to see if the theory about that
holds true. Might be fun/interesting to do a survery of those at the
picnic to widen the data base. (G)


 RH> Not fun. I had my last therapy session today but will continue with
 RH> home exercises. He said that in time, this will become my "good" knee.

 DS> Good news.  I have also been going to PT, balance problems leading to
 DS> a fall a few months back.  Fortunately the fall did nothing more than
 DS> a
 DS> skinned elbow, but was scary enough that my primary doc sent me to PT.

Not a bad idea for anybody having problems. The therapists can not only
teach you how to strenghten a weak area but also how to safely work
around problem areas if needs be. I was able to briefly kneel on the new
knee the other day for the first time in years. They also had me try
squatting (unable to do with prior knee injury)--a bit rough on that
last week but much better when I went back on Friday. Strength and
extention are very good but flex (back range of motion) isn't as good
as the left knee; it may come in time.

Catch you later,
