Yes, thanks, I’m aware. I’m very active, fear not (mainly walking, rowing, swimming, gardening, DIY). Healing takes significantly longer. But I’m not sitting around waiting to get better - the reason for the torn meniscus was doing the post-surgery exercises a bit too vigorously. It does seem to be healing ok.

You sound like awesome! I hope to be as active as you at 73 and beyond. Already a pretty tough road for me going forward though. 30 years old and 2 knee surgeries in, but thankfully I’m in the health field and can manage my own rehabilitation. Keep on rocking!

My friends and I call it “sniper’s alley” - you keep moving, people are dropping around you, falling to cancer, heart disease, accidents, and you keep going, hoping not to catch a bullet. It’s easy to get downhearted - so many bloody funerals! - so we make sure to have fun too. My friend group is fantastic, I’m very lucky.
Good luck to you going forward!
