Re: Knee replacements
Reply #12 –
Sad to read that you lost your wife, Fluffy One. But glad that the surgery helped her to at least enjoy her remaining years.
When facing similar surgery I was told by the neurosurgeon to lose weight first, then see. It worked (had to cut back on the pies!!!). I have a rather nasty osteoarthritis in the right knee and lower back, and an extruded disc. But the knee does have a little cartilage. I shouldn't say this but thank the gods for Oxycontin/Oxycodone and good old Endone!
This is starting to sound like the conversations between my brother and I (he's a similar vintage)... "How's the back, not bad, how's the knee, not bad, how's the gout, not bad, how're the kidneys, on the improve, how's the liver, gave up the grog, how's the PTSD, nah so so, yours, nah experimenting with new medication..." (my bro also served in the RAN and has PTSD as well... coupla miserable pr1cks when we get together only rescued by our encourageable senses of humour).
Complex post Baggers and not one you can respond to with ‘X2’.
First of all, I want to echo your words about Cookie’s sad loss.
Next, I want to commiserate with you about ageing bodies and the impact of serving your country.
Finally, I want to have a good laugh at the pies and the senses of humour of the two miserable pricks ?
