Nemesis

Osteoarthritic knees are betraying me.  I loved running but had to start walking. I now have to take up cycling full time. Or strolling.  I'm grumpy today because they hurt. I can't do what I love.Replacements are needed. A brace will tide me over until I can have that surgery which may take a few years. Cranky crone.

are those dad's legs?

no. seriously.

get some danskos they will change your life.

also why not just get a new knee? so what if you have to come to america to pay for it. so what if you have to get another one when you are 70. you only got one life....enjoy it....be pain free!

ok i know i probably sound flippant....but you don't have to be in pain!

i love you mom. i can't wait to see you in a couple of weeks!

you are hilarious! and the BRAVEST person I know! I would not post my legs (also I don't have a blog, so couldn't post them!!) without the exact proper lighting, excellent panty-hose, and the highest perfect stilettos that one could only STAND in - not made for walking! Anyway - now you know that I am probably far too vain to be your friend, but I'm gonna be, anyway! I agree with Mercedes - "be pain free" girlfriend! Sorry you can't do what you love, but I saw you yesterday, and you LOOK gorgeous, Bonster! Good on ya'!
Much love - K

I'm with Mercedes on this one: those are NOT your knees, but I'm assuming the pain is. Time to become bionic!

Knee surgury is the worst ever. Have a few cortisone shots and try to delay as long as possible. Trust me, I know!.......CH

You're right those aren't my legs. Mine have the thickest arthritic knees but no veins, no hair.
