I could understand that. I've had people that have had the knee replacements and they've been fine with them. After reading a whole bunch of stuff with the DA and everything else, I also checked. I got the x-rays back and I put it in chat GP because I couldn't understand what the hell they were saying. It came back with a really good description of everything that's going on. They recommended you should do this, this, this, and this. That will give a history base for the reason why you want knee replacement down the road. Eventually it will have to be done. I'm 62. If I could go with that knee replacement for another five years, that would make me happy. I really don't want a knee replacement. I had a vertebrae replacement done on my neck about six years ago. Six years, seven years ago. They literally, it was a hell of an operation. They cut you to the front of your neck to get to the back to your vertebrae in your neck. They don't go through the back. It's too dangerous. They literally took the vertebrae out and put a dagger vertebrae in. They kind of fused it. I've been doing great ever since. It was a great success. I was having pain, shooting down my arms and everything else. It wasn't pleasant. It was bad. Knowing that, I gained a mass of energy. I am now like 2% Mexican. I'm glad that the surgery went well for you. I herniated a couple of discs, let's see, five and six I think, or four and five. It's got to be 15 years ago. That was just horrendous. They were talking about surgery at one point, telling me I'd be off of work for at least a year if we had to do surgery and there's a 60, 40 chance I could end up paralyzed. I was like, no dude, we're not having any of that. Eventually everything either wore off or went back in place. When I went back for the last MIR, the doctor said, okay, you're fine. You can continue like you are. I was like, okay, I'm fine. I'm fine. I'm fine. I'm fine. But yeah, I know all about that shooting pain down your arms, man. It's no fun. Right now I've got a pinched nerve somewhere or I've managed to screw up one of my discs again. It's been about six months on my left hand, the bottom two fingers. I don't feel it. They're numb and chilly all the time. Do they feel that way? I know they're not, but yeah, it's amazing what the body does to itself when you, when you screw up a nerve. I'm fine.
