At last I am going to get a knee replacement on 6th July. It will only be the right knee to start, but I will feel so much better, Right now it is agony to do anything. I will be fairly useless for 6 weeks afterwards, but my daughter will come and stay over the summer and drive me to physio sessions etc. I met my surgeon yesterday and saw the clinic - amazing place that specialises in hips and knees, so I am very happy.
