Good news, Doc was pleased with my knee progress and has scheduled the second for 3/5/18, although the surgery scheduler has told me there's a really good chance to get in mid to late February. Now for the bad.
Last week I got hit with a nasty sinus infection that developed into pneumonia. Started feeling punny last Wednesday and by Thursday i felt like death warmed over. The good news is I had an appointment with my knee surgeon and when I showed up with a mask, he prescribed antibiotics right away. He was afraid that the infection might somehow get to the knee.
Anyway, for the better part of 10 days now, my soul activity has been sleeping, going to the bathroom and occasionally eating a little soup.
Since being in the Persian Gulf and getting the "Fungus" in my lungs, pneumonia has been a very real problem when I get sick, happens very quickly and kicks my butt when it does. Although I'm feeling a tad more human, not really up to moderator duties yet. Maybe a couple more days and I'm be okay.
