This time tomorrow I will be recovering after my knee surgery........................

I am under the knife tomorrow... so hopefully my knees will be pain free pretty soon.

I hope I am not walking like this Black-winged Stilt when it's all over.

The surgeon says I will walk out of the hospital on Wednesday morning... but says I can't drive for five days.
So will I be walking still in pain?... time will tell.


I also hope my knees will still be bending the other way.

 A bit of info.
What you see and probably think are the Stilts knees are actually it's ankles... it's knees are hidden in it's feathers.

The last time I had an operation and was anesthetized I was only seven years old.
 I hope it's another 50 years before the next time.

all will be good 'Drew; hopefully the removal of the calcification if I remember rightly will make for a change for the better for you. You'll breeze through it! Love the stilt photos too. Best wishes.

Hope you're recovering well by now. The birds are lovely and the information about their joints was interesting.

After reading how your surgery came out before looking at these shots, I had a special appreciation for the bent knees of the birds...or do you call them knees. The last shot looks like he is going the jig. genie
