Charles - I think it is great that they are going to recognize some of EWGS people for the work they do. That is great. I was so sorry to miss the meeting yesterday but knew Shirley would handle it well. I think it was best to stay home, rather than walking around like a drunken sailor and I do feel much better. Hopefully that is the last of the problem. Bette

Bette - I was surprised to hear you were having a problem after your last knee opertion. I have been holding off getting my painful knee replaced due to the massive embalism I had after prostate surgery 11 years ago. Two ladies I knew had an attack of embalism after knee surgery and they are not with us any more as a result. Was your attack a result of or caused by your knee operaton? I would be interested in finding out why this happened to you at this time. Shirley did as you expected and drew a few laughs. It was a good program. I have used the State Archives over at Cheney several times getting school records from the Palouse.

Actually, no, Marshall - it had nothing to do with my new knee. For some reason unknown, I react to the anesthesia in strange ways. I am a real light-weight with drugs. Last May, when I had the 1st one done, same thing happened. I get a spell of vertigo and last time I had no nausea. I did it again at about the same length of time since the surgery (5 weeks) and was so dizzy but this time, I couldn't keep anything down. Hence, didn't want to go out and have that problem. It is about over with, and I feel good again. The knee is healing, I am walking without a limp, going up and down stairs, etc. But I am a firm believer in the CPM machine or as I call it, the Rack. It keeps your knee moving for 3 hrs. twice a day and you keep bumping up the angle. That is why I think I have done so well with the knees. I no longer am on cumadun of course, but have had no problems with the knee at all. Glad Shirley got a few laughs - she had to step in this time in a hurry.
