Many of you who have visited Downtown Sounds over the last seven months have noticed that I was limping around.  Well, two weeks ago the problem which caused the limping was fixed when I had a new hip installed at Cooley Dickenson Hospital’s joint replacement unit.  The pain hasn’t been too bad, but I’ve been uncomfortable and not able to do much except watch shows on Netflix.  i still won’t be back in the store for a while, but as I start to feel better I will be able to get back to work little by little.

Bionically yours, Downtown Joe
