and anybody else that may be interested. About 8 days ago I got that new knee I was telling you about when I saw you in Lexington last month. Had a setback last Friday night. Woke up with violent tremors and gasping for breath. Took to the hospital by ambulance and was diagnosed with a urinary tract infection. I had no idea those things could be that bad. Thought only woman got them but found out old men get them also especially after having a catheter.
Everything is going fine now. However, I have some pretty serious doubts about my surgeon. I asked him if I would be able to dunk a basketball after surgery and he said sure. I'm no where close. To top it off he advertises surgery with a "robotic arm". I'm pretty sure he is a lying SOB. I looked very closely and his arm is flesh and blood just like my own.

Just wait a few more days, I am sure you will be dunking. ![[Smile]](smile.gif) glad to hear your surgery is over and successful (sans dunking), but sorry about the UTI. Those things can really knock you back!
BTW, the doctor is tell you that you have to lower the rim to a little under 7 feet, didn't he?

BTW, the next time we both go to a UK game, I expect to see you running laps around the field after each touchdown.

My drug dealer just happened to be in the neighborhood and I mentioned this to him. He says dunking a basketball is all about elevation and, apparently, you are just not getting high enough....says he definitely can help with that.
I can set up a meeting if you want....told him you lived way up in Illinois and he said no problem that he has a lot of "friends" in Chicago and is up that way almost every week.
