I'm still recovering from my knee replacement surgery and it went quite well. A little different from the right knee, a robot, named Frank, assisted and I had to spend a night in the hospital. All good.
I'm able to stand with weight on it, briefly, and tomorrow is my first appointment with my Torquemada PT.

The Ukrainians are Not Zs
The Russian troops had a Z displayed on their equipment and uniforms. Ukraine therefore canceled the letter Z, so that makes them not Zs.
The most popular theory used by military experts to explain the letters is that they were written according to the respective areas where the Russian troops are usually stationed, with Z potentially standing for Zapad (west).
Others believe the letters were drawn in an attempt to avoid friendly fire, while some pro-Kremlin Russian military experts have speculated that the letter Z stands for the name of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy, and the letter V for Vladimir Putin.
The Russian defense ministry itself has not commented on any of the theories, and instead posted on its Instagram channel that Z meant Za pobedu (“for victory”) and V stood for “power of truth”.
The Germans are not Zs too. German States Outlaw Display of Russia's 'Z' War Symbol.
