That really sucks. I had foot surgery for an arthritic toe joint in '04 (age 52), with 4 more as time went on. I've got it in varying degrees everywhere else. I've been reading of some method for causing the cartilage to grow back, but it's in its infancy- experimental. Maybe it'll come available in time for you (and me) to regenerate.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.

I'm going to check with a doc in Mexico. They're doing magic with stem cells that's not approved in the USA because, well, stem cells are bad, m'kay. So far the worst of it is in my thumbs. I have a good laugh when my wife hands me a jar (to try) to open.

We were on abc, fox and npr today. (local, ofc)
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

I'm going to have to get into touch with someone at work to get login information for online content I'm supposed to access and complete.

Trying to come up with a fool proof argument that will convince my wife that we REALLY need this.

Sorry, one of those Brit words. "Oof" being money, "Oofy" meaning lots, i.e., expensive. I though it was used in the Antipodes, too.
