Well Ken, as usual your workmanship is excellent and amazing. I am writing mainly to encourage your wife. "We" went through three years of pain and inconvenicence for my wife, first artheroscopic cleanout on both knees then "half knee" replacement on both knees. This was frustrating and a failure but finally she found a different surgeon and went through the surgery again on both knees which straightened out the knock knee disaster of the first surgery and NOW she wants to walk every day and we often do a loop around the inside of a nearby mall. The key to it all is to find a good surgeon! In spite of two surgeries on each knee her scars are not noticeable unless you really look for them!
