Hey @Uncle Willie, long time lurker checking in.

I had meniscus surgery yesterday. Just before rolling me into the OR the anesthesia assistant and nurses went over a bunch of questions (which had been done earlier but OK). When I said I vaped nicotine, the assistant basically hissed in my ear that I need to stop as it was worse for my lungs than smoking. I turned my head to look at a nurse on the other side of the bed and said 'Funny thing, they have vape shops in hospitals in the UK' and left it at that. The good news is that's about the last thing I remember until I woke up after the surgery, so the anesthesia was pretty good!

Looking forward to being mobile in the new year and losing the pounds that came on in the past 9 months. I thought it was arthritis acting up again, so I did RICE and my PT exercises then tried taking a short walk, but my knee blew up. Rinse and repeat before I finally called an orthopedist. MRI revealed the meniscus tear and the usual conservative course is to head to PT first. Tried that and got bounced out when my knee blew up again. Then had to wait for a surgical consult and getting on his schedule. Recovery PT starts in Jan. and I'm so ready for it.

Sending positive thoughts to @MikeE3 for a resolution to his issues too!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all!

Good late afternoon random folks. My old large Christmas tree wasn't working, not a single light would light up, so I tossed it and ordered a new tree. The first one didn't arrive after a week and then I got an email from Amazon stating that it was going to be another week and still may not arrive. I canceled that order and ordered another which arrived today. I've got it up and mostly decorated, but of course, Misty saw it as a giant new cat tree. I had bought a cat deterrent spray which did nothing to stop her. I had just put my breakable ornaments on top, but it looks like I'll have to remove them all together. I got a bunch of plastic ornaments from my mother. I've been reading, and one suggestion was to put up a second tree that the cat is allowed to climb. I do have a smaller tree, so I'll try that

Doesn’t look like it’s going to happen.

The Amazon tracking hasn’t updated in three days but the usps site showed it made it to the depot yesterday. I just checked and it says arrived at the depot yesterday and today says accepted. Still says it’s coming today but 8 but doesn’t say out for delivery so I’m guessing it won’t come today.

I'll cross my fingers for that.

Can you track the package on the Amazon website? If it indicates "out for delivery", it's rare that you won't get it.
