Jens,

Hey honey

I apologize for my lack of reading but how is the knee? Can you do any impact exercises yet? If not, when can you expect to?

How do you feel body is responding to lack of alcohol? Physical & emotional/mental?

Can you feel/see differences?

How are you feeling as far as the depression issue? That is a tough one to overcome ... I've been concerned ...

Nuttin but loff

This may be a dumb question but what did you do to your knee?
