>Gotta be said: Kevin and Marcia are your best buddies right now. Marcia's clip around the ear may sting, but it's a call to action. Sounds as if you've taken the first step. You need to take a few more. How many more clips you earn from Marcia before you take the next step is up to you- ideally none. ;-)

>LOL!!!! I'll be around to slap Mike into shape until a week from Monday. That is when I go into the hospital to become the bionic woman {g}. The hospital has WIFI but I do not know how much I will feel like using it...

Don't remember whether you're getting knees or hips, but from the people I know who've had joint replacement, they'll have you pretty busy pretty fast. Hope the surgery goes well and that your recovery is rapid and complete. FWIW, I've heard over and over and seen with people I know that those who take the prescribed painkillers have the best outcomes. That is, that you need the painkillers to allow you to do the PT that gives you the best results.
