wow, bet it will fill better.

 

Heal well. Don't over do it for best results.

 

My knee had like no pain for most of yesterday because the doctor injected me with Cortizone; that started wearing off by late evening and now my knee is just so sore. However, Amanda and I have spent most of the last day binge watching old episodes of Dr. G: Medical Examiner and it’s been a fun and lazy day!

 

Picture of Amanda that I took exactly 15 years ago!

 

Definitely it's gonna hit you now..but it is gonna be much better overall

 

Good to hear it all went well.
Stay off of it a few days, and then ease back on to it.

You’ll be back at car shows in no time.

 

Currently attempting to rent a scooter or motorized wheelchair for the weekend…

 

Good idea to keep your weight off it best you can.

 

I rented a scooter for the weekend!

 

That's awesome buddy, just be careful.

 

Amanda just had to remove and reapply the bandages; wounds were not as graphic as I thought they would be…

 

Racecar!!

And yes, my brother in law has a large scar on each knee and below but he had a full replace

The government is incredibly inefficient! So, Emily likely passed in the early morning hours of Saturday, May 3rd. We found her that night; Emily's dad cancelled her mail almost immediately...

Emily was on food stamps, and two weeks of inactivity triggered a response from the county. Amanda and I both live in Bucks County, and Emily lived just across the county line in Montgomery County. A couple weeks ago, I deposited some scrap money at my bank, which happens to be less than a mile from Emily's condo; Amanda was not with me (going to Emily's condo gives her anxiety), so I drove over there just to make sure nothing was out of place. This was probably two or three weeks after we found Emily, and the front door had not been repaired. The condo has been empty since May 3rd, and Emily's dad just had the door repaired yesterday.

I found nothing out of place, but I did find a piece of mail tucked into the storm door; I was on the phone with Amanda, and she told me to take it because based on who it was from, Emily's social security number was likely on it. I texted Emily's dad to let him know, and he was fine with me taking the mail for safekeeping; Emily's dad was a bit confused as to why she'd still be getting mail, but our theory is that the mail was delivered to the wrong address before her dad cancelled it (or there was a breakdown in communication between various government entities) and Emily's neighbor brought it over unaware that Emily had passed away.

The mail was with my files at home, and my intention was to hand it over to Emily's dad when we go over to the condo to get the furniture that Amanda is being given; I texted with Emily's dad yesterday, and got permission to just open the mail. If it was deemed to be unimportant, I was to simply dispose of it; I opened it, and as mentioned above it was a letter from the county about Emily's food stamps. The date on the envelope said it had been sent out on May 19th, more than two weeks after Emily's death and actually the date of the memorial service we attended; I forget what day it was when I found the letter. The letter stated that there had been no activity on Emily's account (No, really?!?!), and that she would lose her benefits if she didn't make a purchase by like June 25th; I find it funny that the county couldn't have done a little digging, especially since Emily was taken to the same county's morgue!

Anyway, Emily no longer needs food stamps and if the county wants to just close her account, it makes things a lot easier for her dad! Amanda and I ran all of the paperwork through my dad's paper shredder, and Emily's dad was very appreciative; Emily's dad is very busy, so I might go back to her condo at some point next week to make sure nothing else gets delivered by mistake.

 

My doctor said I couldn’t go to a car show unless I had a scooter or a wheelchair; Amanda and I were supposed to go to a huge classic truck show today, but it got rained out. I really wanted to drive the scooter, so I rode it over to my neighbor’s!

 

I mean, I'd tote my drunk ass around on one at a car show.
Tell me you would either.......

I’m about to tote my drunk ass home from the neighbor’s on it!

 

I promised Amanda that I would take her for sushi on her birthday, but my knee surgery was on her birthday; I took her to a sushi bar in Doylestown called Ooka this afternoon and we each had a Sapporo with our sushi. Sapporo is less than 5% ABV and I nursed it the entire time we were there. I had two nonalcoholic beers at home, then we went over to the neighbors’ to finish watching the Army 250th anniversary parade; I rode the scooter and had two beers plus a sip of Amanda’s wine, then I rode the scooter back…
