Hows your knee doing?

It hurts.

It hurts.

I find a judicious use of frying pans helps Maybe not so much for the pain but for my mood

The Artemis II mission has just been so exciting for me…!!!!!!!
I was pretty young, but I still remember when Apollo 11 landed on the moon, as it was a really big deal. My Pop had worked at the Redstone Arsenal/Marshall Space Flight Center, in Huntsville, Alabama, from ‘66-‘68, before he was hired by IBM and we moved to No Cal.
I know I’ve posted this before, but he once attended a lecture by Wernher von Braun about space exploration. Pretty cool stuff, to me anyway…!!!!!
I’ve always just loved the thought of space travel, and I love flying, in general…!!!

Gotta say, watching the "live" return to earth yesterday was a thrill. So glad it went smoothly.

I found out something that @Baron Von Capybara didn't mention. His relatives are going to showup at the Midwest Gaming classic on April 25th and April 26th. My proof is according to the Midwest Gaming Classic schedule, there is going to be an event called Capybara's on Quests.

You asked.

I'm booked at DL in a month (woohoo!) and am hoping to get the pain levels controlled enough to NOT need an ECV. I really don't wanna have the extra cost or hassle of one. I want to be able to just bring the cane. At Disneyland, there's so many stairs that you can request Return times if you can't do stairs, so my plan is to get return times and then go sit down for a while. I've been working super hard to get it mobile again; physical therapist said it had amazing movement for surgery a week prior.

But the pain needs to settle if so because damn.

 

[wdwfan4ver]

Probably not; I had knee surgery April 1 and can't do stairs right now. Probably not going again until late May.

Good luck on the recovery and hopefully you don't need an EVC next month for Disneyland.

Parts of the city I live in got flooded back to back nights and not done with heavy rain this week.

Before today, there already is 5.92 inches of rain this month and this is more than the normal average of 3.86 inches of rain for April.

Where I live in the city isn't flooded.
