The drugs used were obviously hallucinogenic.

Kinda looks like the one I had only mine had stainless steel fittings, not brass.

You need to upgrade your health insurance to what JR has.

Knee was fine, actually the rest of me was not bad either. I was conditioned as well as the other guys. I guess I put enough miles on my Schwinn air-dyne. We're in a heat wave so the gym was almost uninhabitable. That worked to my favor, kids figured out that they didn't want to run after about the first 5 minutes.

For the first couple of months and then after workouts I would experience a burning sensation that ice packs could mask. Friend says that is nerves regenerationg or something like that Dr. said that the younger you are the more nerves you have to be damaged during surgery and the more nerve pain post op. Today, Monday, the muscles feel fine but I do have some slight burning sensations. I can live with it. I'm thinking I'll get stronger and work out of it.

Now if only I could use ice and ibuprofen on my officiating skills!

M&M: No measurable rain for about 3 weeks, presently 100 plus heat index

I have heard of that before as well. I wonder if that's a similar sensation to when your leg "falls asleep" from lack of circulation, and there's that tingling/stinging sensation as the blood flows back in. (I am not a doctor, and I didn't even stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night either...)

Even stronger medications and alcohol don't seem to help mine.

You must've missed out on the rain we got last week; there were some spots in our area of east central IL that got 2.5" - 3.0". However, we've also got the heat now. I think after that rain, and with this heat, you can go into the cornfield and actually hear the corn grow. Maybe I'll do that. It's gotta beat watching the Cubs play...

A friend of mine had both knees replaced AND he had eye laser surgery in consecutive off seasons. He is a year older than me and he only does 3 man games twice a week. He sees the court much better than he runs the court. I will turn 50 during the next season, but due to some of the jokers in my assn, I will not work that night lest I become a victim of some of the hijinks I have participated in during the past couple of seasons.
