My doctor says that I'm "too young" (dear lovely man) to contemplate an operation at present and indeed, I know I'm not at the stage of needing one. It's just that I thought that getting thinner and fitter would stop it getting worse for a while, and it hasn't, which is a bit of a bugger really.Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00822383355869390919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-38910252736447273702009-07-02T09:31:28.095+01:002009-07-02T09:31:28.095+01:00Poor you, I hadn't realised you suffered with ...Poor you, I hadn't realised you suffered with arthritis - especially as you lead such a full and active life.

Pugsley is quite hopeless at it and is far more use out in the fields, scaring crows.<br /><br />I'm fine - it's just that I rather thought that all I've been doing to get fitter and weller would slow the progress of the arthritis. I know I will have to have a new hip at some time, but I'd rather leave it as long as possible. My doctor is against the thought of me having X-rays and so forth at this stage and I take his point - it's the effect it's having rather than the wear on the joint that matters - but I prefer to know what's going on and I don't like guessing. However, it's probably good to have to let go of my more controlling inclinations. Possibly.Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00822383355869390919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-83414609900364026712009-07-01T17:56:34.163+01:002009-07-01T17:56:34.163+01:00naturally I meant to say 'up which to put your...naturally I meant to say 'up which to put your grandchildren' but my fingers are not as educated as they would have me believe.
