Newly Patented High Speed Steel Alloys

Cool. It’s a bit niche for what you are doing, but it was interesting to follow the research.

I’ve been out-of-office the past few weeks recovering from knee replacement surgery…so far it’s healing well.

I’m always interested in learning more about this subject. I was traveling out to Chicago last week.for a gear failure analysis course myself.

I’ll avoid the knee surgery as long as possible. I understand the recovery can be very painful. But it sounds as though you are doing well fortunately.

Don’t wait forever, though. I had bone-on-bone contact for the last couple years or so. People who wait longer than me have more trouble recovering, because they lose so much muscle tone. I was walking on the joint the day of the surgery, and could tell that the pain from that contact was gone. The incision and muscle soreness are pain that I can deal with.

I bicycle over 1,000 miles every year, and the knee pain is relatively minor for me. So far, I think I am doing ok.
