Thanks to everyone for the birthday wishes, was a pleasant surprise to see them today [I was already asleep when Annie posted the OP]

To those of you who do not know, I've had a bad couple of months. I went into the hospital for a knee replacement on 9/18, and all went well. Because we have a zillion steps in our home, they sent me to rehab afterwards. In that first week I had the misfortune to get an aide who either didn't care or didn't want to do her job, and it resulted in a bad fall when I was left alone in the shower. Tore my kneecap away from the tendons and muscles, and needed revision surgery - doc said it looked like a bowl of spaghetti in there. 'Painful' doesn't even come close to describing it - I will say that liquid dilaudid in my IV is scary stuff, but it works. For 6 weeks I've been in an ankle to hip brace, and can't bend my knee past about 30 degrees [and until I can, no airplane trips possible].

All this to explain why I was asleep so early :)

And why it was so nice to see the messages today. :)

Happy Birthday AE! You've been through a lot and these happy wishes on your special day
is bound to cheer you up! Here are some quotes or sayings that will brighten your day.

“Marriage is the alliance of two people, one of whom never remembers birthdays and the other never forgets them.”

“The best way to remember your wife’s birthday is to forget it once.” "I hope Mr. AE remembered." :rolleyes:

“Age is an issue of mind over matter. If you don’t mind, it doesn’t matter.”

“The first sign of maturity is the discovery that the volume knob also turns to the left.”

“And in the end, it’s not the years in your life that count. It’s the life in your years.”

We need a flamethrower instead of a lighter to light up all of your candles.
Hee hee hee, just kidding.:D
