This blog is to be my experience of before and after my knee replacement operation. A chance for me to chart the change to my life.
I am going to write when something matters or happens or occurs to me.
I want to make sure that when i, in my new bionic state, am pain free and back to walking the dogs on Cannock Chase, without sticks, I can remember what it was like before the operation and never take anything for granted.
I have been crippled with Arthritis for the past 10 years and am now on two sticks and in a lot of pain every day. Up until last year I thought there was going to get less and less colour in my life and the pain would become more and more to the front of my life. But then i was told i could have one knee replaced. Yay Yay Yay. I am on a waiting list.
I am trying to lose weight because i am not a small woman and i want this operation to be a success. I am trying not to make plans but its hard not to.
There are a lot of people in this world who live every single day in pain. Who never complain. Who never expect special treatment.
I am not one of those.
I whinge
I shout
I swear
I might even give in to a tear or two from time to time.
