Six months ago next week, my right knee was replaced. Four years ago tomorrow, my left knee was replaced. Will I ever kneed another surgery? I wager not, but all bets may be off.

    You poor thing! I’m glad both knees are relatively new now, though.

      Hey, Neola. My orthopedist told me that new knees last between 15-18 years, depending on how they are used. I don’t know if that means NOT using them or using them. Still, you are correct; they are relatively new.

      My right hip was replaced in October of 2022. So far, the left hip seems fine. The bad news — I get a more thorough TSA searches at the airport. The good news — I’m f*ckin’ bionic!

    Do I LOOK like the woman gambler in the cartoon?!

    No, you are adorable and that gambler is plain looking. However, your question called me to look closer and to notice that most of the people, except for the bald guy, have the same cartoon hairstyle!

      I noticed that, too, Beth. Perhaps it’s the cartoonist’s signature do.

      I can’t remember the last time anyone called me adorable I kind of teared up.😢🥸

    I didn’t realize that was a woman until I read the caption… and I had to look more closely.

    Anywoo, funny cartoon.
