[Mishmash] On my way to the hospital

[Fred Atkinson]

Hi, Richard and everyone,

    I am at home recovering from my knee surgery.  So far, I can walk on it
well enough especially considering the bandage that is wrapped all the way
up and down the left leg.

    There has been no pain yet, but it will probably be a few more hours
before the anaesthetic wears off.  To that end, he gave me some Vicodin in
case I need it.

    He didn't find the piece he was looking for, but he did find a lot of
debris.  It well may be that that piece disintegrated into smaller pieces.

    We'll see what happens over the next few weeks.

    Well, Dick, since 911 can be used free on any service, I was thinking
about just getting an inactive cell phone and using that to holler for help
if the phone goes down.

    Hope everyone is doing well.

    Regards,



                                                            Fred
