[AT] Knees

[charlie hill]

Larry and Herb,

My mother had her second knee done last year on New Years Eve at age 91. 
She came through it like a champ.  She took the residential rehab option for 
her second one as well and was happy with the choice.  Herb if you are 
thinking of doing it, do it NOW.  Without meaning to be political, things 
are changing in the world of medicine and you might not always be able to 
get these procedures without the approval of some bureaucrat who is more 
interested in cutting cost than in your health and well being.

Charlie
