Jim,

Thanks for that vivid impression.

However, only part of your description would be true.
I haven't had the ability to get on my knees for about 5 years now.
Having NEW knees will do that to a person when the surgery is performed
as my was.  The incision went directly over the knee cap.  And now,
that is were the scar tissue is located and getting on my knees is
very very painful.  Sadly, I only have but two knees to give to the
medical profession, so I am screwed.
I say the above not for sympathy but to educate.  To those reading
and new knees are in your future be advised that the above is true.
What you need to do is find a surgeon that understands and will
make the incision that goes around the knee cap. Such as ----____----
I know a guy that had one of his done and has no problem
getting down on concrete with his knee.  Brought a tear to my eye watching.

BTW Jim, with what I (we) do it is necessary to get down to do the work.
I do get down on the floor to work as needed but my knees do not touch
the floor.  I tell the customer not to watch, since is in not a pretty
site to behold the getting down and especially up.  :-)

With all that being said I would leave the screwdriver on the floor
and pick it up for you, only after I am up.  ;-)
