Thanks, B.D! I did injure my knees when I fell in Honduras several years ago and have already had the torn meniscus (menisci?) repaired. The doctor thinks that damage probably contributed to the early arthritis in my knees. After the last trip to the Mosquito Coast, I knew something drastic had to be done. The recovery time is supposed to be 3 to 6 months and I'm leaving for Guatemala on September 5th so I'm in for some intense physical therapy! I'll have my Leicas with me in the hospital, but I'm not sure if I'll be up to photography :-( Tina Tina Manley, ASMP http://www.tinamanley.com photos available from: http://www.pdiphotos.com http://www.mira.com http://www.agpix.com http://www.newscom.com - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
