Sol,

Thanks for e-mail. Glad to hear that you are on track to fencing and the
rehab is going well.

I had my first physical therapy this morning so I guess that I am track to
recovery as well.

Was it surgery on your knee?

Maybe I will forget my bad habits too. Haha. I don't know about that one.

Hope you can get out and fence soon.

-Todd
