I have never felt so vulnerable in my life.

On Tuesday, I underwent arthroscopic surgery on my left knee to repair two tears on my meniscus that I do not know how I may have injured so.

Five-thirty a.m. roll call at the hospital, strip, put the gown on, experience cold, get wheeled into the OR, subjected to general anesthesia, wake-up 90 minutes later, get wheel-chaired out to Wifey in awaiting car, bed ridden for 30 hours. 

I'm now walking (limping) about the top floor of my home.

Damn.

I'm reminded of a joke: "Tom visits Dave who's laid up at home with a broken leg. Dave says "My feet are freezing bud, can you do me a favor and run upstairs and get my slippers?", "No problem.", says Tom. Upstairs, Dave's stunning 19 year old twin daughters are sitting on their bed. "Hello girls, your Dad sent me to shag you two!", "Fuck off you liar!" they said. "I'll prove it." said Tom. He shouted downstairs "Both of them Dave?", "Of course! what's the point of fucking one?"

I hosted a group of 25 high school seniors with three chaperones over at work yesterday. At the end of the day, one of those young men stated "This has been the greatest day of my life". I said, "You have a long life in front of you, this too will pass."
