 -> fascinating from an engineering aspect.  Kevin found an Internet site
 -> which showed videos of several alternative methods of preparing and
 -> fitting the protheses.  I tried in vain to show these to some of the
 -> nearest and dearest, but they couldn't face the sight of blood and
 -> bits of bone flying around as the socket in the pelvis was machined,
 -> and the hammering home of the spike on the metal ball into the end of
 -> the femur after the worn bit had been sawn off.  Wooses!

It is all engineering.  In fact almost everything is some form of
engineering.   The little that isn't, is psychology, which causes some
people to pass out, as you have described.
 
 -> An unwanted complication occurred last Wednesday evening as a car
 -> crashed through my side fence and into the corner of my house, causing
 -> extensive cracking to two double brick walls of the kitchen.  That is
 -> going to cause difficulties, cooking while remedial work is done.  The
 -> insurance evaluator said she will have to get a structural engineer to
 -> survey the damage and specify what has to be done.  All this will take
 -> quite a long time, I fear.

I am hopeful the kitchen will be at least as good as before.  Living
in the house while repairs are being made will not be easy.

MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.05
 
      Title: Eggplant Meatballs (From Father Orsini's Italian Kitchen)
 Categories: Newsgroups, May.rec
      Yield: 4 Servings
 
      2 lg Eggplants
           ;4lb
      2 c  Italian bread crumbs
    1/4 c  Chopped parsley
      3    Cloves garlic
           ;minced or 1 tsp. garlic
           ;powder
      2    Eggs
  1 1/2 c  Grated Parmesan cheese
           Olive oil for frying
 
  Wash eggplant, cut off ends, peel, then slice into quarters and boil
  in salted water until soft.  Place in colander to drain and cool.
  Once cooled, remove most water from eggplant by carefully squeezing.
  In large bowl, combine eggplant with remaining ingredients. Mix well
  and more bread crumbs as needed until you can form into one-inch
  balls. Roll in bread crumbs and fry in olive oil until very brown.
  Someone made these for a potluck in my office.  They were larger than
  one inch--maybe golf-ball sized or a bit bigger.  She had a simple
  tomato sauce on the side.
