Nobody Here
I've never seen this part of the forum completely empty before. I guess everyone is in fine health. That's good! As for myself, I'm recovering from a stroke suffered 3 1/2 yrs ago. A very slow process...

A lot of us do but most work around the issues.
I suppose I'm one of those. I don't consider myself "disabled", but I did have a total right knee replacement on July 31 this year. I worked my keester off for 4 weeks so I could:
1) put on my own socks and tie my shoes again
2) drive an automobile
I met both those goals in 6 days!
Been working that leg and knee like there's no tomorrow ever since. In my 4th week after surgery, I was splitting firewood again. I mowed my yard 3 days after surgery. We went camping 1 week after surgery, 2 weeks after surgery, 3 weeks after surgery, and the 4th week after surgery. My wife and I both work from home, she is full time home, and I'm 50/50 home and in-office. So we made sure she had wifi and we went camping on long week-ends, between physical therapy sessions, and ... yes ... splitting that fire-wood.
Today... well ... put it this way ... night time is the time I feel the agony. Walking is magnificant!
I don't consider myself "disabled". I told my wife, if I were strapped in a wheel chair the rest of my life, I'd find a way to use my radial arm saw ... one way or another!
Excellent! My dad had the surgery and didn't get up and moving right away and he had to repeat it several years later. Best thing is to use it.
