 Interesting.  I've found that peanut butter acts as a mild laxative,
at least for me.  This is a Good Thing - I love peanut butter.
I had a knee replacement yesterday, so I'll get to test it.
 

 Knee replacememt? I have heard of hip joint replacement, but had no idea they do it with knees as well! In truth, science is mighty!

 A friend had it. She was an overweight NHS nurse, After 4 further operations to try and clear infection, she said when she contracted pneumonia 'don't revive me. I've had enough of pain'.
 I went to her funeral.
 Other people end up with amputations.
 Hip replacements are very successful though.
 Its something to do with the ability or inability to deliver antibiotics to the wound site

 Ouch! We must pray hard for success! In terms of pain and quality of life, my mother was pretty relieved to finally let go after having struggled with very painful cancer treatment for several years.

Yes. I can appreciate that. Currently I have at least four chronic incurable conditions that may kill me in the end. I take the pills and keep going. Maybe I will die in a car crash instead.

I will pray for that they might chance from incurable to curable with some great scientific leaps in the future!
