I want to thank everyone for their cards, calls & visits after my knee replacement. Dr. Fabian & his great staff at Roosevelt Hospital did their magic on December 13th. I spent 2 weeks on the orthopedic rehab floor at the hospital before returning home this past Saturday.
It was good to be home. Many thanks to my neighbor & friend Helene who watched over Renoir while I was incapacitated. I could not have existed this long without my dearest friend Mark who visited, set up my new computer, took care of Renoir and idiot proofed my apartment for my return. No swivel chairs or throw rugs for me to deal with. Today is his birthday & he is with his wonderful lady Natalie.
My family cared, visited and gave me the love I needed when I could not walk a step. Vedran visited me almost every day and always brought something I needed.
They say ones worth in life is measured by ones friends. If that is true I am the luckiest man on earth. If I could have a drink I would toast all of you with a big THANK YOU.
In a few weeks I will resume writing my regular articles.
UPDATE February 6th- I am close to finishing my physical therapy. As of today I am at 2% having a straight right knee. Got to get to 0%. Also today, my degree of bending the knee is at 118% with 125%-130% ideal. I am almost there.
UPDATE March 6th- I was cleared to drive last week. Back to my yoga lessons from Adrienne (it will be 7 years in April that she has come to my place every week). My 9th grand niece/uncle was born on Monday- Marshall Michael Kapon (John & Dasha). Hope to start travelling in the next week or so. Thanks for all your good wishes.
