RIPKANISTAS:  Just wondering--who got the beautiful TSV watch and which metal color choice and color of MOP? 

Also, anyone get the 1/4" by 36" or 52" Verona circle link OTO?  Which length and color?  I caved on the 52" black and chocolate choices and think they'll be fun to play with.  ~Peach

@Dallas-Dame, thanks for your well wishes!  I now have a Judith sparkly heading my way for "recuperative" purposes.

@LuckyPeach, it was my left knee, and I had it done Oct. 13.  I'd had bone-on-bone arthritis for almost 5 years and life kept getting in the way of tending to it, but it finally completely broke down, so I took the plunge.

It's very painful surgery and a painful rehab, but I'm already off a walker and on a cane and beginning to feel semi-normal (thank you, 24/7 painkillers!)  I should be able to walk on my own by the end of the year if all goes well. 

DH continues to watch your DH's projects with great interest!  I hope that he is doing well and, of course, that you are, too!

I put the blue topaz bypass ring on my wish list -- I already had ordered the new garnet ring with the square stones and I'm excited to receive it.  DH and I met in January, so I'm partially to the stone for that month.
