The left knee has bone on bone arthritis. It goes through cycles of pain and dysfunction. Currently it is making me walk out of line which hurts my left knee.

The right knee is doing much better. I still have some foot drop in my right ankle so that also throws of my gait.

Wow! Way worse than where I am! Sounds to me like you clearly need it done!

Morning Old folks I am fortunate.

Yesterday I was walking across the grass and did not see a hole. When I stepped in it, the left knee gave out and I fell. It was nice and soft grass but that was very painful! The knee is swollen a bit now.

I am using voltaren on it

Tuesday's yard work involved squatting/bending/kneeling - my hips have been complaining ever since - not too bad today. Hands and shoulders are doing their usual complaining. Oh, the joy of many birthdays.

Oh, the joy of many birthdays.

Well, there's all that cake, ice cream, and presents too...

People get presents on their birthday?

 

[Sally PB]

Well, in their younger years, yeah.

We went to a tractor show today. The "new" tractors were about my age. There were 100+ year old machines there. A thresher, a baler, a steam driven sawmill.

Really cool to see. Also really loud. Wish I'd taken ear plugs.

I love the old machinery!!!
