So with this titaneum rod thingy does that mean you have to declare it at airports.

I can just see you telling the TSA drones where to get off. LOL

I am so glad you are pleased with the care and practices at UCLA.
As they say in show biz Break a Leg is a wish of luck. Worked for the Cowboy too as it brought you to Cali with family and a second opinion that you are happy with.

What about the mudslides down there is that anywhere near your haunts?

Enjoy the Cali air and sun.
I have driven back down a few times years ago and there is a point before leaving Oregon that the scent in the air actually changes to a dry grass smell. On our return trips that scent of Oregon once back over the border so many miles is Sweeeeet!

Yes, OP, I'll have to have a doctor's letter when I fly describing the prothesis; or at least that's what I've been told.

I'm enjoying the time with my daughter and son-in-law. They come to the hospital every other day.

I haven't heard about any mudslides being close to the hospital.
I love to walk barefooted through squishy mud, but I need to wait a few weeks.
