I had a bone graft done two weeks ago (surgery 5) and yesterday's x-rays show new bone growth so it's looking better. Unfortunately the new surgeon put me back in an articulated brace and nixed me doing anything for the next month.

I agree, alpacas are kind of creepy, look cool, lousy personalities.

As to how fortunate we seem to be finding wives of supreme tolerence. WOOHOO!!

Yes I'm lucky!
