Please tell him I am thinking about him and hope the worst is over. In case you are interested, I found this little blurb on the femur..... The femur is the thigh bone. In humans, it is the longest, most voluminous, and strongest bone. The average human femur is 48 centimeters in length and 2.34 cm in diameter and can support up to 30 times the weight of an adult.[1] It forms part of the hip (at the acetabulum) and part of the knee. The word femur is Latin for thigh. Theoretically in strict usage, femur bone is more proper than femur, as in classical Latin femur means "thigh", and femoris means the bone within it. Looks from the picture like you were able to get the traffic lights all green at the same time. Good work. Drive safely on your way back to Maryland. Sounds as if you haven't had a whole lot of sleep yourself. Stay awake behind the wheel. A 20 minute nap at a rest area does wonders for the next hundred miles or so. My best to Senior. Later, Phil.
