Really?

No to both I'd say.

There are a lot of public service folks on strike though, if that's what you mean. But I wouldn't necessarely link that to inflation. It's been boiling underneath the surface for quite a while, way before all the Ukrain shit happened.

DB should be safe.
Yeah. From what I read it was linked with the inflation so dunno.

As for DB, there were plenty of news over the past couple of days saying that DB might shatter just like the US banks and the Swiss one. Germans said there is no crises in their banks but that is quite normal as they dont want to scare the public so they dont start withdrawing their cash. Swiss government also said their bank was totally fine but after like 48 hours they lost billions and UBS had to buy the bank in end so it doesnt collapse. But there's still fear among people, many are pulling their cash out from the small banks, some are depositing to the big ones, thinking how those banks are "too big to fail" so their money is more safe there. Which is, unfortunately, true. But that'd still cause a big chaos. I'm not predicting it to fail but imo it shouldn't be of a huge surprise if banking sector in the EU continues to collapse.

Yeah. I’m doing the non-surgical route for the time being. Consulted with the orthopaedic surgeon and my sports physio about more recent studies that showed a certain percentage of people with full thickness ACL tears can return to pre-injury perfomance levels through rehab and strengthening of the muscles alone, so we decided to go that route for the next year and see where I’m at then.

How’s your recovery coming?
Sounds like a good plan, that's great if you're still able to do things like hike in the meantime too.

I just got knee surgery last Friday for my meniscus, sitting in the doctor's office now hoping I could get the brace removed and stop walking with a cane :xfingers:. I've just been sitting in the same spot on my couch for the past 5 days and I'm so done with that. I'll see how quickly I recover from this one before deciding to do the other one because I need to be healthy for a job I may potentially take. It feels like the end is finally in sight though :touched:
