Re: Commiserations and all that.

Oh, it would still be just as pretty... You just wouldn't find me there!

The whole seeing stars like in the comic books thing is fascinating. Or would be if it didn't hurt like the aforementioned sandpaper-wrapped corncob being inserted sideways into orifices not designed for insertion.

With the post-op knee thing I discovered that the pain-o-meter goes to 11: I saw the needle reach 10 and was still conscious (and still standing). So it must, therefore go to ll, if not further. I'm going to have the other knee replaced in the fall. I will report back.
