Just got a call from the surgeon that my wife of 37 years did well with hip replacement surgery.. [View all]

Sharing that with you guys because:

A. We can use all the good news we can get;

and

B, I'm sitting here by myself in the hospital cafe eating Cheetos by myself.

Hope she's good for another 37 years; I'll check the warranty.
