Knee Replacement

I figured he was younger than your mom...
I guess it's a case of "real age" depending a lot on your fitness.

Haha. My mom's boy toy (they married in August and "step-dad" just doesn't cut it for me ) is just seven years older than me and two years older than DH.

So, I guess I can see the way to go if DH suddenly croaks or dumps me.

Got a call from the doctors office, they want a Chemical Stress Test before they'll do my knee replacement. My EKG shows "changes" since the one two years ago so they want to rule out a previous infarct. If it shows blockage or a previous MI I have to get whatever it is taken care of before the surgery.

I swear, I'm at my limit of "one more thing".

That sucks on a lot of levels, but in one way it's good. If you have a problem it's better to get it taken care of. Knock on wood the new test comes out clean!

What theKarens said - and it DOES suck in so bloody many ways. Sending you warm thoughts, wishes, prayers, and hopes that it all turns out well!

It does suck, but believe me, you want to get it taken care of now, if there is something. My DH found out the hard way, in the middle of a 50 mile hot, hilly ride.
