Sapper -
your surgeon was a brilliant man and his hip joints have saved me endless hours of pain - started 25 years ago when we lived in Highcliffe - knees were bad - uric acid swelling the area around the joints - " why can't you suck that stuff out" I asked - as usual no answers from the medics...finally diagnosed in B.C when we returned to Canada - then a medic told me - in ten years time you will need new hips ! He was right but they didn't operate for 14 years - magically the thigh bone was returned to where it should be easing the pressure on the knees - result NO pain anywhere and I can walk upright once more ! Now after two years - that swelling again around my left thumb - more pain !...... heigh Ho
Youth ? - yes - that was a fantastic two weeks !
Glad to hear that you are looked after on the pension end of things - some of the horror stories about the pensions to-day are worrying until you see the one time payments before the regular pension kicks in...just shake my head as I was laughed at after being rejected for Korea - took the Canadian Veterans dept to squeeze it out of the British Govt - in 1992 - without me even asking !
Cheers
