Brought you over here, sweetheart.

Yes I will make a list, great idea Jax. Mr S says I sway when walking too. I bet I look like a feckin weeble as I walk. Tomorrow is the big day so will see what he says. Sometimes when I get in the car I have to manually lift my leg up to put it in. However I can walk 10 miles and it doesnt stop me doing that although I do pay for it.

Last day at work for me today which is lovely.

Did they say Mr JC needed further treatment Jax?

His notes have been sent to his surgeon who performed the original implant and he's due a check up anyway.
And that lifting your leg into the car is exactly what Mr JC used to do. He could walk for miles with Bess (she was a lot younger then).
He was in just 4 days and apart from the first few hours on a morphine pump all he took after was ibubfrofen or paracetamol. As he'd lived in denial for so many years about the pain he was in......he was amazed how well he felt after. He rarely takes anything these days.

Back to the more important stuff.......I threatened Mr JC with telling his mother about the state of his grundies if he didn't agree to new ones. I my MIL.

Think I’ll add a few more layers JC, it’s still back to winter here. Thanks for starting us off, hard to believe it is May. Anyone I have heard of who has had a replacement felt they should have done it sooner so go for it Starty. Off for my walk in a few minutes.

Good luck tomorrow @starty!
Hilarious pic @JackieClaire!!

Very busy day. Exhausted.com
Love May, it might be my favourite month.

Morning all!

There wont be any naked gardening here JC! at least until I have removed my winter pelt

It is good to know that Mr Jc could walk for miles albeit I expect it was painful. same here, can walk for miles like this morning, but boy was it uncomfortable and at time excruciating. Gorgeous weather tho and lovely and warm after a while out there.

Hospital at 12.30 will let you know how I get on. Keep all crossed that I get some help please

@starty
Ye know I'm beginning to think all the walking / running we do ( well not me ) is maybe not as good for us as we think ?
Mr S also walked for miles & miles and is now a candidate for a replacement knee or two
Maybe because it's more often on a hard pavement ?

I think now that the route I took - weight training ( basically because I'm a lazy cow ) was in the end more beneficial.
I hated all that sweaty aerobic stuff we did in the 80s

My bones & core are strong and the only aches & pains I have are from a really old RSI & increased gym work.

Just some musings as my Rosie sleeps on my chest here hiding from HER walk with MrS - I think she HATES the car..

Good morning everyone and good luck Starty. Nobody likes the hospital visits but they are necessary. My BIL had meeting with consultant this morning following biopsy last week and was good news. Did the cliff walk with him yesterday afternoon and it was food for the soul. Love May too Mary and this is a long weekend, yippee. Gardening planned but not of the naked variety lol.

Xpost Rustytop - great news for BIL

What cliff @rustop59 ? Howth ?

Cross posted there Satz. Agree about the pavements and the running does seem to be hard on the joints. No fear of me getting injured. Walking the doggies for the past 20 years in the woods and now doing the hill walking but at my own pace. No aches or pains so far. Does Rosie get car sick? We had a Goldie who used to, she loved her walks and swims but hated getting in the car,
