Metal in my back, new knee, for me too.
Aren’t we a total mess, but we keep going on. O

!It is better the alternative.
We need to hang in together and run and work on our trains as best as we can.

Since we've been talking about Ken's walking cane, Mike's eyes, Ed's
back, John's eyes, my eyes, and I'm sure some have artificial
joints--meaning we ain't what we used to be! A photographer's group I
also belong to is in the same boat--we're trying to find a way to fasten
our tripods to our motorised wheelchairs--you know the ones advertised
constantly on TV!
This all means we probably need to speed up our layout building or find
some young kids to help in stringing wires under the layout, replacing
switch machines and adjusting the track in the far corners of the layout.
Years ago, I purchased several low book cases from a neighbor who once
had an office furniture company. When it went belly-up only the junk
remained, so I bought several of them. They are the perfect size to fit
under the layout and hold at least two layers of magazines. The
downside is that once my layout developed, I've had to move them
around. That process is getting more difficult every year, so now it's
to the point of being similar to musical chairs--no extra room unless
you move a half dozen other items. The last move resulted in my
unknowingly leaving a couple of wires loose under a control panel
leading to the power source. My solution is to get my grand-daughter to
retieve them up! I think her arms are long enough now but still thin
enough to get into the area...while mine stopped growing 45 year ago,
are too fat and becoming too stiff!
