The pain is constant now and I have been advised that I need a full knee replacement. Now, I only saw my Orthopaedic Surgeon aContinue reading “It’s not just about my knee…”

It’s OK to have a ‘Pity Party’ every now and then!
I was just reading an entry in the Blog of ‘Twitchy Woman’ who I follow. Love the name by the way! She is right on the money as far as I am concerned. When she talks about having a ‘Pity Party’ now and then, I think we are pretty much entitled to it! Check outContinue reading “It’s OK to have a ‘Pity Party’ every now and then!”
Not so Perkie…
I follow a Blog called ‘The Perkie Parkie’ who is usually a regular writer of her Blog.

Pain is a complete pain…
I’m sitting here tonight feeling more than a little bit sorry for myself. My right knee is getting beyond ridiculous how painful it is.

Time to rest before the next adventure…
Right now I am sitting in my sister-in-law’s lounge resting up after a busy week boating. It’s lovely to be back with family and telling them all about our adventures. While I was on the boat I was able to do everything I needed to do and my knee coped very well. Off the boatContinue reading “Time to rest before the next adventure…”
Not so cruisey cruising
We are coming to the end of a six day cruise in a narrow boat on the Lancaster canal. It has been a wonderful experience and one we will never forget. As I have been battling a knee injury for months I wasn’t sure how I would go. I was a bit nervous to beContinue reading “Not so cruisey cruising”
