Bill,

With a total knee replacement, I too, would hesitate to do any activity
that might cause a slip. Things will paste themselves together much more
sturdily in a few months.

What is this? 2009 the year of the leg and foot injury? It doesn't show
that way on the menu at my local Chinese restaurant.
