I’m scheduled to get a knee scoped Wednesday. If I’m lucky, I’ll be bouncing around again in one week. If I’m unlucky, I won’t do any bouncing for four weeks. Since it’s my right (driving) knee, guess which I prefer.
Anyway, if it’s the unlucky option, I may do some blogging and editorial writing from home during those four weeks. I might even write a column or two. On the other hand, I may just lie on my butt reading good books, watching old movies and cussing out the brace immobilizing my leg.

LARRY DALE,
Best wishes for a successful procedure. You are too ornery not to come out of it with complete satisfaction.
Thanks - for the best wishes and for the ornery compliment.

Got my left knee scoped Thursday. Brace is a nuisance but does help in getting around.
I got lucky. No brace needed. They have me walking with one crutch already. Should be able to get rid of that in a few days.
