    Hi Mr. Jimmy,
    You certainly do not appear so happy. You must be smiling soon on the inside!
    Groovy socks. Match the tennis balls on your speed racer very well.
    Happy rehab!
    Steve B.

    If that’s “happy”, I need to add this to my list of concerns…you know, right along with raising two teenagers, the presidential candidates, retiring too young, and if I should run to the store for a diet Pepsi and milk duds.

    Seriously, hope it is going well…we are back to the hip doc tomorrow with Marissa…fingers crossed he will have some answers for her pain,

    As of now, I am in control here in the White House… And here at JimmyCsays.

      Finally, someone has recognized dysfunction and dereliction of duty and has stepped forward to take the reins…Thank you, General Haig.

      Best comment ever.

      You know, sometimes Vicodin does that to your mouth, and it erases any Botox you had before surgery.


      • on July 24, 2016 at 10:18 pm jimmycsays

        I wasn’t aware of such surgical subtleties, Tracy.

    Ah, no worries, Grumpy: the compression socks/leotards will eventually be replaced by normal men’s hosiery and a beneficent attitude.

    Also? Looks like there’s not that much swelling (relatively) on the new knee. Looks to be a good outcome.

      Six weeks in compression socks, Will…Off at night back on in the morning. I guess that’s one benefit of fidelity: It’s not a pretty sight, but she will see it through.

        Also … keep your feet up!

        Congratulations!

    Jim – Glad you are home and things are going well. You just need some pie. A la mode.


    • on July 24, 2016 at 10:22 pm jimmycsays

      For the first time in years, Jim, I have no interest whatsoever in sweets. I am really sick…

    Clearly you got yourself out of your bed and to your desk, and I can see your computer right there at your elbow. Another couple of days you’ll be driving yourself, much to Uber’s loss.


    • on July 24, 2016 at 10:22 pm jimmycsays

      I’ll only take Uber if David Plouffe comes around and picks me up…

    I didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. Saddest picture I have ever seen. Probably should be the poster picture for “New Knee Times.” If I have to make the decision to have this type of surgery…I believe I will pass on the surgery and re-start the daily induction of Southern Comfort!!!


    • on July 25, 2016 at 4:07 am jimmycsays

      Once you get to the point I had reached — pain with every step, just hobbling with a cane to fetch the morning paper — those are the only alternatives you have. But I guarantee you, John, at age 70 — like we are Southern
      Comfort is not the answer. Look what it did to Janis Joplin…And she was 30-something.


  8. on July 24, 2016 at 10:37 pm Laura Hockaday

    Jim:
    That was sure fast surgery!! Glad you are home. Why don’t you take some time off from your blog and just relax. I’m sure you should stay off your knees.
    Cheers,
    Laura


    • on July 25, 2016 at 4:05 am jimmycsays

      Actually, Laura, the doctor and the therapists want you up on it as soon as possible. That way you don’t lose as much muscle tone and you start building up flexibility in the new joint…The joint itself feels very good. I feel like hell otherwise.

    They shoot horses, don’t they?


    • on July 25, 2016 at 2:57 pm jimmycsays

      Don’t put me down, podner…I’ll be back.


  10. on July 25, 2016 at 2:44 pm Julius Karash

    Thanks for sharing, Jim! Now what have you got for tomorrow? Anything for this weekend?


    • on July 25, 2016 at 2:56 pm jimmycsays

      I think I’ll be going with “evergreens” for a while, Julius.


  11. on July 25, 2016 at 5:01 pm Stacy Kearney

    Well. you look thrilled.


    • on July 25, 2016 at 5:58 pm jimmycsays

      Life’s just a bowl of cherries…Too bad about the big pits.


  12. on July 25, 2016 at 5:38 pm John Altevogt

    You always did look cute in nylons.


    • on July 25, 2016 at 5:58 pm jimmycsays

      I thought you might have kept that between us, John.


      • on July 25, 2016 at 6:29 pm gayle

        Does Patty know? :-(


  13. on July 25, 2016 at 7:33 pm jimmycsays

    No, Gayle, she usually doesn’t read the blog…Mostly just looks at the first line or two that come with the email notification that I have posted. So I can get away with murder, and all sorts of perversity, on the blog…


    • on July 25, 2016 at 10:35 pm gayle

      You devil you.
