Thanks for the well wishes gang. I have to say that I am very proud of Mrs. Monkey. She was extremely aggressive with her former company and in her job search such that she was able to leave early and landed 3 job offers. And this is after not having seriously interviewed in 10 years! We feel very fortunate because it is still a very sour market out there.
Got x-rays, saw the doc. He said knee is pretty swollen. I thought, "no shit, Sherlock." Blood work and MRI next, but need to wait for new insurance card since we are on Mrs. Monkey's plan at her brand new job.
The GES is nice, but it will suffer from similar problems to the 007t--it's underpowered for the O2. I wanted very much for that not to be the case, but listening to the combo at several meets convinced me.
