I hope the knee does get back to normal for you - it's been a problem now for close to several years, right?

The change of job seems like a really positive change - one now with more responsibility, so that's good. I've had more responsibilities recently in mine as well, which has been a bonus, but that hasn't been met with a pay increase, but I'm fine with that.

How many other people you were directly working with are still working for the other company? It will be interesting to see a year or so from now, whether the company in question will still be around, or if the Feds will effectively run them into the ground from that bust. It must have been unnerving to say the least!
