I don’t think Harry will be worrying about leaving at 85 mins for the drive home to Kent
Oddly I watched us in the disabled enclosure for a Leicester game last time I had a knee op.
Had to listen to the gromblers singing 'champions of England, You'll never say that' as Vardy got them a win.
I'll be giving this one a miss.

Make sure you have a solicitor check over any paperwork beforehand. My mate had both his knees ruined in a dual procedure but when he tried to sue afterwards he didn't have a leg to stand on.

It is not normally badly painful (except when I get the sharp pain once every few months and can't put weight on it for a day).
But it is affecting my gait, and I suspect the 'compensatory posture' is contributing to my back pains.
We went for a walk at Winchelsea today (may post a pic later) but the back ache kicked in quickly.
It is almost certainly walking with fear/tension.
Can't be having that.
Plus the walk down stairs first thing in the morning is a tragedy to behold.
And I can't bend it enough to cycle now.
It's a gonner.

I am really looking forward to getting to the end of the tunnel.
Not bothered about pain.
But I am worried about infection.
A work colleague had problems with that.
As long as it heals, I'll be happy :thumbsup:
Funnily enough I had more problems with my back than my knee post op, which was down to years of compensating for my bad knee when I walked. It took a couple of years to get over it.
Forgot to mention. ice packs, they are a thing of beauty and will push paracetamol as your new best friend.

Another thing to get, those ice packs with the velco straps(temu do them!). You'll want to ice the knee up 4 or five times a day....really helped the missus
Is this it?
