So the journey begins. Can't tell you all how much I have learned from reading the posts and articles on this site. I hope that I may be able to repay in some small way the information and support it has (and will) provide me.
First port of call was the OS with the decision on one or both... my left knee is much worse than my right (thanks golf - leading leg; cross country skiing & squash - the latter contribution major dislocations). My view was that having the left done was like being half pregnant - I would still be limited in what I could do until the other was fixed. I want to do things now while I am still young and fit. The decision was taken to "go the double"!!
My vision for the other side of surgery is to be able to go back to golf, yoga, pilates, hiking and generally striding out (not taking doddery small steps).
I am excited and nervous all at once and relish the idea of being able to share and compare with a great community of people with the same issues and challenges.
I am looking forward to connecting with the wider Smarties community hugs to all - @Maggie94
