Camera in the bag, no pictures for a while

Left knee replaced. The procedure for the replacement was interesting. It starts with a CAT scan. The readings are forwarded to a company that makes replacement knees from the CAT scan info. They are produced to match the existing leg bones with little or no shaping of existing bone upon being surgically implanted. Having said that, the surgery did take three hours. In case anyone is trying to count that is 41 staples with some stitches along the way.
