    OK. That time frame sounds right.

        My sister just had both knees replaced on her Christmas break. A week later she went back into the hospital with blood clots in her lungs. Hopefully, they found them all and suppressed any new ones with meds.
        Was she on any medication after surgery to prevent blood clots?

            I didn't use the technical terms for the procedure but merely explained how I interpreted them. He wants me to cut down my running drastically during that nine month period. What is surprising is how much muscle one loses in the knee by not running consistently.

            Upon rejecting the Beatles, Dick Rowe told Brian Epstein of the January 1, 1962 audition for Decca, which signed Brian Poole and the Tremeloes instead.

                yes but they upped them considerably when they found the blood clots.

                    My leg still has the shape of a snake that swallowed a bowling ball. Your deal sounds worse than mine, slow down and don't hurt yourself.

                        I am impressed by you as always. I am increasing my own version of physical therapy. I went to yoga and joy of joys, that hurt.
