OT: Knees. Was: Looping STUDENTS

["Nik" <fluke@gotadsl.co.uk>]

Hi,

My Dad had both his knees totally replaced when he was around 55. They had 
degenerated totally due to arthritis. A couple of weeks after the op he 
was 
photographed dancing at my sister's 21st birthday party, with his knees 
still bandaged. In all, a very successful procedure and his knees were 
still 
going strong when he passed away at 65. It's a daunting thing to go 
through, 
but with a good surgeon and a following wind it works.

All the best,

Nik
