Back from Christmas shopping and I think we have all the big stuff done. Now it's just stocking stuffers, mostly candy, and a surprise gift for DaWife because she told me what to get her, can't have that.
With the sun going down so early it's nice to be home before dark and in time for a nice nap. Simon and Riley agree.

Home again and doing well. Physical terrorist said worst pain will be days 3 and 4 so I have that to look forward to.
We got up at 4 (freaking) a.m. to shower dress and get to the hospital by 5:30 a.m. My walker and I are about to head to bed for a nap.
ePaul, you can do this.

Congrats on the new knee and best of luck with a quick recovery, Rob. You will be recovering through the shortest daylight days of the year. Our shortest is Dec 21 with 8:42 of daylight.

My walker and I are about to head to bed for a nap. Sleeping with a walker sounds really uncomfortable, unless by "walker" you meant your spouse.

Here's what my wife thinks of me: My Hanukah gift is a small, wide wooden whisk broom and matching mini dustpan for sweeping crumbs from the table and countertops. Looks just like this one.
Why do I always have to be the tidy one?

If you eat over the sink like a proper macho man there will be no crumbs on table or counter. (A local radio DJ suggests the need for a restaurant for single men. No tables. Just a bunch of sinks to eat over.)

Valet parking at a hospital in the summer for many years has taught me something about who have had done what you had done. The patients (PT stuff) who pulled up to take advantage of valet parking keep coming back all summer. The ones who park a bit away and walk to the door don't return for nearly as long. Rest well, Rob.

David, I forget that the length of days differs from south to north. A quick Google search indicated that December 21st is also our shortest day and that Tucson will have just over ten hours of sunlight that day. Phoenix will be a little under ten hours that day.

The important question is what did you get her?

Good luck Rob! A TKA is a big deal. Do the exercises they teach you and you will do great.
First three months are the toughest and it will keep getting better for a year or more. It’s a good operation.

By the way, the hospital didn't send me home with any of the old parts. My dog, Ruby, would probably have enjoyed knowing in them.😉

I do! It used to drive my old man nuts.

A lump of coal.

Couple of late-in-the-game surprises on "MNF" tonight as Packers fall to Giants, Dolphins fall to Titans.
