Photo challenge: Broken

How appropriate that this is the topic of the day.  Broken.  As in, my knee.  It's not broken, but the replacement needs to be replaced, so as you are seeing this, I am at the hospital gettin' 'er done.

The first replacement was done in 2000 and it has served me well.  But it's wearing out and somewhat misaligned.

Next time you see this knee, it will be bandaged and sore but on the road to recovery!  The slight scar is from the last replacement.  Late last night, I drew a large arrow with a magic marker to mark the spot.

Thanks to everyone for their support and encouragement!  While I'm in there, maybe I could get a tattoo.
