Oh, I do know how you feel and you were so lucky not to have him and his RT in your face all of the time. I wouldn't be at all surprised if he asks to move in w/RT.
My knee is doing fabulous! I have had no issues. I do everything I use to do, climb ladders to paint or reach things, dance, kneel, etc. I can't play impact sports or twist it...but everything else has been a go! I can't believe it's been almost 3 years since I had it done. The scar has faded and when the other knee needs to be done...I'll do it w/o hesitation. I'm only sorry that I waited so long to have the left one done!
Yes, I retired almost 5 years ago. Time has flown. I'm enjoying retirement and spending time w/family and I still do quite a bit of traveling.
Thanks for asking.
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
