doc says he is not considering surgery on the knees until the arm can better support me. if they "repair" the knees, the arm has to be able to bear weight. now, no way. i am able to stand for 15-20 minutes, walking, more like a 90 year old shuffling, but i get around. brodie is still acting like herself, eating everything in sight, sleeping, and cuddling. i pass the time xmas shopping (buy 2 get 3rd free wii games at toysrus, sierra trading 20% off with free shipping http://email.sierratradingpost.com/d...CBB340EB524FBB, and getting credit cards with $100-$200 in gift cards for signing up-the last is one of my favorite pasttimes.) i watch tv and my cooper sleep as well. so time passes...
