Knee Injury Update!

Just thought i would update you all about my knee injury. It happened 3 months ago and on Wednesday i saw a specialist for the first time and because i had such a long wait to see someone he has pushed me forward for keyhole surgery for next Wednesday so if i'm MIA you will know why.
I can't wait to get this sorted out!!
Also, i would like to give a huge shout out to one of my neighbours who loaned me a wheelchair and the staff and customers of my local Post Office for all of the kind assistance they have given to me!
As the PO has steps at the entrance some customers have actually lifted me into the shop and the staff have asked if i want any aisles cleared so that i can get around.
Thanks to you all!
