DICKIE KNEE

Just got back from the Docs with some extra strength painkillers as my dickie knee, which I mentioned in a previous post, isn't what I thought it was, I assumed it was Bursitis because of the swelling, and had been trying to ease the pain with just paracetamols.

Seems the x-rays have come back showing I have Osteo-Arthritis and I have been told I will need to go for regular pain killing injections into the knee every so often.
Arrrrghhhhh! I've heard they are not very pleasant and hurt a lot!!! FAINT!
I'm not good with injections, I love CSI, anything forensic or autopsy, even blood and guts, don't bother me, but injections! FAINT!.
I have been told by lots of different people over the years (even a few Doctors) that I should have gone into nursing, but I can't even stand the thought of needles never mind sticking one into someone. FAINT!
I've had loads myself over the years but I still go all icky at the thought especially now I know it will be painful!!! FAINT!

Two good things that have come out of all this though (always look on the bright side of life!) is -
1. The constant pain will finally subside.
2. The Doctor told me I was TOO YOUNG for a knee operation at the moment, whoo hooo, I'm too young!

Still take Max out for his daily walks though, I won't let my little lad have to stay in all day,
responsibility and all that.

Well folks, that's all for today. FAINT!
