Day 9 - Bionic
Thirty years ago I injured my left knee very badly in an accident at work. I had a number of operations, culminating in a carbon fibre patch to replace my damaged cartilage. I knew that that would wear out in time so increasing discomfort when walking distances over the last couple of years ( thank goodness cycling has never seemed a problem) led me to go and see the doctor. Today I got the results of the X ray - severe arthritis and "total loss of joint space" ( that's "no cartilage left" to you and I) - so next stop is the consultant and possible knee replacement.
