What a very good nurse!  What a very good Chat too, Cal.  You will do just fine, and now you know it.  You asked all the right questions of just the right person, and got all the right, reassuring, answers.  Good for you!!!!  Good you took April, because by March you will be able to do what ever you want.
Now I will hit the hay.  I will sleep well since I read your chat.
I googled Dr. Joshua Niemann, and saw what Barry Hutchinson Sr. had to say about him.  Two knees and a hip were done in 2023 on Barry, and his praise was glowing for your Dr.  He is a good one.

hi you guys its -8 here broke old record weather lady michelle said again. it was lo in the barn and it was cold in there not as bad as outside if i stood right under a vent blowing down i could feel some heat. 16 in longyear  45 raining in ice man rains so much in ice. i would hate that. longyear you need to keep your artic weather

hi joho that nurse also said keeping me overnight to control my pain so i am thinking be some pain how could not be but they control it for me when that block wears off i will ask if i can keep my socks on i cannot go barefooted at all not for along time have lots of nerves stuff with my toes and feet really i need my shoes on but at least the socks. i think dr niemann will be good and better use him now in case he decides to go elsewhere that happens around here good doctors go elsewhere. i took april cause not enough time in march before jim leaves so just do it when jim gets back i should be good come may i am going to do what they tell me take my pain medicine and like my arm on my rotator cuff object was to lift my right arm way up high straight which i can do now object to straighten out my knee leg. jim was saying yesterday about ways i could get in the barn NO jim no barn they said no barn it is really dusty and indy acts up and hard to get around NO i will be doing good in the house and going to pt. you are taking off a week to help you will be in charge of the barn and indy i did everything when you was down and when you sat at hospice with your dad and then went fishing left me with a sick goat shoot joho he told dr niemann you dont how hard it was for her to come see you he said i have an idea well jim you should have one too been like this for years i can feel my knee just like rottening away getting worse that arthur eating it up.   i am happy you like dr niemann too. i hope i got a good one i know some who used him and really happy they did.

Encouraging words for new knees.  They are surprisingly quick to function for us.

I will send Abbey pics.  Sounds like your knee plan is working out great.  I say again that you will be very happy to have it done.
Seems like Ukraine is not going to like Trump's deal.  It is as if all Zelenskis fighting was a waste of money and life.  What a shame.

President Volodymyr Zelensky publicly faulted the American proposal because it did not include security guarantees   and why would they trust Trump oh excuse me the King. thank god that man does not own a dog or a pet  Polk, Andrew Johnson, and Donald Trump did not have any presidential pets while in office (however, Johnson did take care of some mice he found in his bedroom) isnt that cool johnson took care of some mice he found!!

6:05   I really like the beagles.  My best dog ever was Duke the beagle.  He was wonderful.  All the neighborhood kids would come sit around with him all Summer long.  I am always amazed when I meet some of them still, and they tell me how much Duke meant to them as children.  One family especially loved Duke.  They had a eight kids, but no pets.  Some of those kids were always out back with Duke.  He was an outside dog in the Summer.  He liked it that way.  He liked company.  In bad weather he was an indoor dog.
Not sure why I went there this morning.  Nostalgia I guess.
Now I will ay CUL EV1 GBU and GB Ukraine too.
