OK, so how about a YAY post?
When I left work to have my knee replacement surgery on 7/24 I saw all of my work friends. Things have been in chaos where I work, and when I returned to work 5 weeks later, the entire floor was GONE. 2 of my very dear friends moved to Vermont. (They were husband and wife.)
So, today, the husband stopped by my office. He asked me about my knee surgery and told me to make sure that I have the left one replaced. OK, here is the COOL part! It has been 5 months since I saw him. He told me that I look TEN YEARS YOUNGER! Now, this guy is very famous scientist. He is NOT a flirt or charmer. He is just a good decent man. Can you imagine how that made my day??
2 minutes later, our former dean/chancellor stopped by. He had his hip replaced 9 months ago, so we tend to chat and compare notes. As he is leaving, he turned around and looked at me and says, "BTW, you are looking fantastic!”
Maybe I shouldn't wait too long to get my other knee replaced!!!!
Who knew a new knee could get you 2 cool compliments in one day??????
Happy New Year, everyone!
