> So to start day three I will back up to day two. Last night, I was talking to a pre-operative patient about his surgery that was to be today. I asked how long his knee hurt, he said many years. I asked what he did for a living and he said agriculture. I asked "you drive a tractor?" He laughed, "No, no tractor. I use a machete."
