Good points.
Remember,it's business; not personal. As soon as you allow it to be personal,you lose.
I was just asking to be sure I was reading it correctly.
Knees are progressing. Still a lot of pain from the surgery. Ice and stretching helps, but it still hurts a lot. I am probably pushing too hard and expecting too much, but having seen friends who failed to push and had to be put asleep and have the physically manipulated,I choose to push, ( and whine a little).
