Don took Sue, Old Fella and myself to Denver to VRCC Clinid where Dr Marion Neely works. He is an Orthopedic specialist ans surgeron. After a careful examination he came up with Old Fella has a bad case of arthritis and the joint is wearing away. Nothing much you can do about that except help him as much as you can and keep the joint bandaged when walking. He told us to keep up the Metacam and he gave us a sling to help him up and down steps.
We are all about to have our first gathering and will hold the memorial service for Bill Johnson. Talk with oyu later.

Might be a good idea to get back into the swimming pool routine. When my father's arthritis got bad his Dr. suggested he enroll in a water excercise program at our local YMCA. Good muscle tone takes a little pressure off the joints.
