Recovery from this knee surgery is taking all my time right now, what with sleeping 16 hours per day, eating and exercising. It inhibits the creative juices. And makes for a boring life.
So rest your cursor a while. Check back in a week, when my Physical Therapist assures me I will dance the Tango.
After this episode, we hope to write a book, Recovering From Surgery In A 300 Square Foot RV…Who Needs Handrails When The Walls Are So Close.

Q & A at a Glendale hospital
From the Blog Wire Service
The public relations spokesperson blinks uncomfortably as she surveys the scene. The Paparazzi have mobbed the hospital hallway, begging for news of the Blog Writer.
Q What is the Blog Writer’s medical status?
A HIPAA law prohibits us from releasing any medical information on the Blog Writer’s condition.
Q C'mon, HIPAA doesn't apply in the Blogosphere, which exists beyond this space/time continuum…on computers in Brooklyn.
A Oh?
Q Rumor has it his surgeon gave him a knee from a genetically modified Holstein cow.
A No, of course not. His insurance would never pay for that. They only cover certified organic cattle.
Q A maintenance worker said that he endured great pain for 18 hours, resisting a variety of narcotic pain blockers.
A True enough. Dr. Lois Lane finally weakened his resistance using medicinal Kryptonite.
Q Is it true one of his arms is now shorter than the other?
A No, tho the brain cells in his Left Hemisphere are narrower than before surgery. He'll never notice.
Q Wait, there's Britany Spears!!
The herd thunders away and the Blog Writer quietly exits Stage Left.

One more knee joke
Two knees walk into a bar.
The left knee says to the right one, “Hey, where did our feet go?”
The right one replies, “I wiped them off at the door.”
Ha ha ha!!!
No more.

Author Under Reconstruction
From the Blog Wire Service
The author of the http://bruceandjennas-rvadventures.blogspot.com/ blog has suspended publishing while undergoing knee surgery. Recovery and legal drug use will inhibit his creative energies. He hopes to collect fresh material during this period...assuming he is conscious.
Get Well wishes and cash gifts may be sent to The Skagit County Home for Wayward Gimps and Ne're Do Wells. Euros are preferred as the dollar is still in the toilet.
Check back on Saturday, February 16, 08 for an unintelligible entry. Maybe not so different from prior posts.

Upstairs, Downstairs. The RV Chronicles
What’s new in the Brod household? Preparing for Bruce’s elective disability.
Knee surgery on 2/12/08, followed by several days in the hospital in rehabilitation.
Did you know that an RV is a terrible place for a handicapped person? Steep entry stairs, more stairs inside, little floorspace (usually occupied by you-know-who underfoot..no, not Jenna!). And the bathroom – so small you step outside to change your mind.
In fact, many fulltimers keep their houses just for situations like this. Not us, obviously. We don’t need no stinking house…ummmm….
So we’re evaluating temporary replacement stairs, sleeping on the pull-out couch, and accommodations for certain bodily functions. Crutches, handrails, injections - it’s like a nursing home around here!
No, wait, we’ll look at nursing homes on Monday. Just in case Bruce doesn’t recover sufficiently in the hospital and needs additional rehab at discharge.
Do you know how many people have undergone knee surgery? Find out by mentioning your intention. Seems like everyone has had it or knows someone else. Or maybe it’s the middle age company we keep.
On a positive note, we have good medical insurance. And great weather for recovery time – 65 degrees and sunny. Not so bad.
You know you’re getting older when your knees buckle but your belt won’t.

PS Not many knee jokes on the Internet. Please send some via Comments. Editor will post the best entries for the good of humanity.

Election update
We have been following the primate primaries. Our household is closely divided.
Jenna and Bruce hew closely to the ABBC (Anybody But Bush Clones) platform and support Democratic candidates.
Denby, on the other hand, embraces candidates using AMSI (Alliterative Method of Self-Interest.) He Considers himself a Canine Corgi who Covets Chow. Therefore he Chooses Conservativatism and supports Republican candidates. He is writing in for John Cox.
