Popped into the precinct for a coffee.. Bumped into people that I had grown up with..
We all trotted/limped in to M& S for coffee..

It was like a bloody doctors surgery.. Everyone talking about their ailments.. Then the subject of driving came up.. At one point the guy at the next table even joined in...
:grin: :grin:   Of course all the men thought they were the best drivers..  
When it was time to leave... it was the men who struggled more trying to stand up than the women..  :smiley:
Don't ask me.. I know nuffink..

I actually had a face to face with a newish GP at my local surgery yesterday!  Nearly six months since I damaged my knee, no xrays or scans, just several diagnoses from A&E, and different physios, I still have ongoing problems, particularly on stairs. He's arranging an MRI, to find out what's really wrong.  At last. 

I was impressed, he listened, I liked his manner too. Lets hope I can now get a proper diagnosis, and get it sorted. 
Its not how old you are, but how you are old. 💖

Good luck with your MRI, I had to get one on my knee when all my trouble started. I had keyhole surgery a week later, but at the Day Surgery Unit. Was told at the time though that I would need a full replacement in the future, and I did.

When I damaged my kneee all I got was one X-ray and like GM, follow up physio appointments - the first few over the bloody phone !!   I just stopped going to the physio as it wasn't helping me, I think I should have stuck with it in order to get an MRI.  This is what a friend of mine did earlier this year and now GM has done the same. For me I guess it's back to square one  :boo:

I was only 42 when I first damaged my knee. I did it at my sisters in the July, thought I'd just pulled a muscle. By next January I was still in a lot of pain and my GP sent me for the scan in desperation. It turned out I had torn the cartilage pretty badly and I had the keyhole surgery to remove the bits.

I wish you ladies had been sitting with us over coffee yesterday... One of my friends is using a stick for walking.. he has knee problems.. also getting over a stroke.. Such a lovely guy and a fighter , literally, he was a boxer back in the day..

I've got a meet up on Monday with girls I worked with 50 years ago !   Instead of fellas, clothes and night clubs the topics will be something similar to Scrumpy's meet.  :grin:
