Thanks for the suggestion, Kathy - it's a choice I don't find palatable at present, but it may well become necessary in the near future. I never thought I would be using a walker to get around, but I have been for the last couple of years.

John-Man and I were going through pictures this evening - here's one of him from Christmas 2003:

America demands Justice for the Fallen of Benghazi!

O stranger, tell the Lacedaemonians that we lie here, obedient to their command.

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

What a cute picture!

You need to save your knees for walking. Ride up and down the stairs to relieve the extra stress on the knees.
