My dad has knee replacement surgery tomorrow morning. He’s been a bit of a grouch about it, but I know its because he’s just worried he won’t be as mobile as he was before (although he’s been walking around with a knee brace for oh, 5 years!), and won’t be able to do things like hunt, fish, and ride his horses.  I told him that as long as he does the PT (and he will) he’ll be better than before.  He’s going to be 79 this year.  I can only hope to be active as he is when I’m that age.

And I guess my parents took out my aunt (Dad’s sister) out to dinner on Saturday.  She told one of my Mom’s friends the next morning that she ate too much and her pants were a little tight and she could feel a fat roll. She’s always been like this.  Weight and body images at 81-82 years old.  No thank you.
