My final (stationary) bike ride today with all my original body parts. Tomorrow a hospital will install an artificial knee.

For the last few months, I can only walk about 100 meters without using things such as hiking poles. Even bike riding on the street has become difficult because I can no longer pull the hills. I switched to stationary.

This has been coming on for years, so here I go! I hear the surgery is “not that bad” but the recovery is long.

I saw a female dentist yesterday, a “lady dentress.” lol. 😂

Only the second time in my life, but I’ve had the same male dentist for 40 years with only a short gap.

The gap was when Brian and I were in Arizona, I had one “lady dentress” and one California surfer boy dentist, suntanned with tats and piercings. That was exciting.

The term I used above I get from 1950’s, early 60’s TV, shows like What’s My Line, Andy Griffith. Lady Doctor, Lady Sheriff, Lady Druggist, etc. All female guests on What’s My Line got asked, “is it miss or Mrs?”

I don’t even say “actress” anymore. “Actor” covers it all.
