Re: PAW--Week 35--Dad at 81
Christine, please thank your dad for me for his dedication and sacrifices made during his service duty. I need to plug knee replacements here, given that he's seen a doctor about knee issues. I had 2 total knee replacements a few years back and it has made all the difference for me. Arthritis issues with the knees finally got to where the pain became very bad, even with pills rubs. It finally got to where I had to do something about it. I had them done on separate occasions and would recommend the same for anyone. The pain/recovery from the operations was well worth it as I am totally without pain/issues. I believe with out the replacements, I'd probably be in a wheel chair. HTH He looks like a much younger man than his age.

As you can see from the picture, he's aging quite gracefully--and he's active as if he was 60. He's a retired 8th grade science teacher, and he's retired military, having served in Korea, then as a reservist for 31 years. He was a paratrooper as a Green Beret and also earned Canadian jump wings during his military career. A few months ago he went to the doctor because his knees have been really bothering him. At one point his doctor asked, Now, Charles, how many jumps have you made in your career? When my dad said about 60+, the doctor said, Well, no wonder your knees are bothering you at this age! Sheesh! It's so hard to think of my dad as 81. He just hasn't changed much to my mind: he still tells his funny stories, he's always chauffeuring various offspring and grand kids about town, and he and my mom still sneak off to downtown hotels for get-away weekends--in fact, I was informed tonight that they are going away in a few weeks to one of their favorite hotels on the south side of Chicago near Hyde Park. Go, Dad!
