Okay, I have been to PT this morning-for my knee. Anyone w/ neuropathy can well imagine what this has done to all other parts of the anatomy as if neuropathy is not enough (:- p). I am 3 wks. into this. An effort to get prior insurance authorization for an injection and I was approved-that takes place on 8/10. Insurance had already approved 6 wks. of PT. Yup, I will finish out that 6 wks. too. I can be as stubborn as a hog on ice at times.

@johnbishop off the topic of "N". The old cowboy I worked w/ in the early 70's was in WWII. He never talked about it and never said which branch. He and I were a team and could rope and brand calves in the Spring that would have put rodeo hero's to shame. When the weather warmed and we could work the higher altitudes we worked on Dude Ranch's. His wife was 100% Cherokee and he was 1/2. The things I learned by watching.

We had taken a pack trip into the Bridger Wilderness and a retired NY cop was allowed to tag along for free. It was when this cop shoved me aside while the old cowboy (Oscar) and I were packing a horse and said, "This is man's work!" No doubt which branch he had been in as I not ever heard a profane word from him. The retired cop was silent the rest of the trip. Also explained his strong dislike for high water.

We all have pasts and when you stated you were in the Navy this past popped into my mind. TMI perhaps, but a happy memory.

English teacher?? Correct grammer only makes enemies. :-p
