Last February had a fairly extensive operation on my knee-
Md told me I really should have had it done years ago,  my Dad slapped
his forehead in one of those classic "oops I forgot something"
pantomimes when he saw me on crutches and parroted the idea that I
should have had it done years ago as well.
He'd forbidden it in my teens as he always figured I'd get ti done the
day before my physical if i were called up.
