Medical Update on the Ricker boys

My brother, David, who is recuperating from total knee replacement surgery, wrote this in an email this morning.

Yes things are progressing very well, thank you. They took out the 26 metal staples on the 27th. They have been giving me physical therapy at home and working my butt off. Today I start going to physical therapy in Presque Isle. It will be 3 times a week for a while. I have graduated down to one crutch, and sometimes I forget and head across the room without it.

I, Vernon, saw my eye surgeon this morning. He is pleased with the results of my surgery, as am I, and scheduled the left eye surgery for November 19th.
