# hello.

see that knee? i'm having it partially or completely replaced in the next little while. i can't walk much right now nor sit at the computer desk and i just got some test results back today that explain some things - turns out that my damaged meniscus is not so bad, my ligaments are ok, but they're both being aggravated by the real problem. the real problem being, of course, that the bones in my knee have degenerated quite a bit and are about to collapse. so, off to the surgeon i go to determine if i need full or partial knee replacement, with the probability it will be the whole damned thing.

further details can be provided if you're really interested. as i only have a desktop computer, i'll be away from here for a while in all likelihood, unless i buy a cheap laptop. say goodbye to my damaged flesh and await my coming titanium or ceramic robot parts.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

thanks for the pleasant words, but i have to hobble off now. see you all anon.

# Fucking hell postie
that's crappy luck mate but hopefully it will improve the quality of your dancing, and perhaps your life. GET THE DAMN LAPTOP HOW THE FUCK ELSE CAN WE HURL ABUSE AT EACH OTHER.
Also: sorry but I have to admit I did giggle initially, you look very pregnant in that pic.

# haha, you cunt. that's my knee, not a swelling buttbaby.
i don't dance, though - i think it should be illegal. no skiing or running either, but i hate those activities too.

i will be hurling plenty of abuse into the air, chances are someone will hear it.

# You know as well as I do
random aimless abuse is only partially satisfying.
Dell referbs sometimes have some very good deals on laptops if you can swallow your corporate distaste.
I'm with you on the dancing by the way. It's not an activity I've ever been very comfortable with.

I'll gaz you later, but as someone that has witnessed more than a few knee replacements I'd have to say that you're in good hands.

# Ouch
I was on crutches for 3 months a few years ago with a damaged meniscus, was seriously no fun.

I really hope you get better soon.

# good luck with your surgery
i feel for you mate.
i havent myself had to get surgery on my knee but i know a few people unfortunate enough to have.
on the bright side you get to sit on your arse while people wait on you hand and foot and you have an excuse to act like a total wank sock
