Thanks everyone. I think Ihave made it pass one of my goals so far. I went to the doc yesterday and it don't look to good. My infection level has gone back up in my leg and the knee seems to be swollen and hot. I may have to go back in the hospital and have the knee opened up and flushed out again. They may have to take all the metal out and wait 6 to 8 weeks or until all the infection is gone to put in new hardware. This will all be determined after Monday when I see the knee doc. looks like I still have a long way to go. Now my next goal is to make it to Cindy's daughters wedding which is June 4th. So thanks again everyone my Bday will be great and I think about you guys all the time and wish I could join In all the events that you guys and girls have planned. If I could ask as a bday wish is to take lot's of pics, That means a lot to me so that I can see everyone again. Bill"cookieman"
