Fell and jacked my knee loading out of a dive bar gig last night

Its all about weight now. My MODX 7+ is like 16lbs and has all the sounds (except B3). My iPad is two pounds and has all the sounds the MODX is missing (B3x and Model D). That, with an aluminum stand and two Alto speakers, finishes out my rig. I doubt anyone (including my bandmates) can hear the difference.

Well...the "good" news is.....you qualify for medicare :)  I had 3 ACL surguries over 30 years, 2 worked, 1 had to be redone, and of course many I know have "new" knees. I was surprised to read a few years ago that knee replacements increased life-span by 6 years on average. I'm also 65, and my right minescus does not tolerate running or hiking downhill any more. However it does recover in a week with ice and elevation, and it is fine with mountain biking...though I am less enthusiastic, and classic XC. 

 

Man is a god in ruins....and it goes downhill for there....LOL. Hope your knee feels better. We are lucky that lighter options are a reality now. My brother moved the Hammond I play now to gigs....I can't even imagine. It's a full blown RT-3.
