[Woodcarver] pattern

[Mike Allen]

Hi:  I've had two knee replacements, and that procedure is not a pretty
sight.  They bend your knee as much as possible, then open it up, cut off
the end of the femur and the fibula, pound the metal part into the fibula
and mount the metal cap onto the end of the femur.  My orthopedic surgeon
actually climbed up on the operating table to get enough leverage to pound
the implant into my lower leg.  They cut and shape the bone ends with a
Sawz-all!  A face replacement would be less gruesome.  Mike

Hey Steve;

How about a caricature of a woodcarver with a partially carved Cyprus knee
titled "Knee Surgeon"?
