14:4134156I have just got back from the Margate Hos/ they have told me I will have to go in A.S.P. to get a new one,But I am still hopeing to do the dip as I said before a rope might have to go around me to stop me falling over because I might get up again,but it is wait and see what I am going as.We are in Horly on Christmas day but will be coming back Christmas night just for the dip,but if I go in and have my knee done before then ,I am told it is no to the dip.

00:2334740Vic,
Look after your knees mate, when they've gone you have had it. I had a new one two years ago at Margate which got infected and it was a long healing process. It is not too bad now but it is still swollen and I can get a 90 degree bend on it. I need the other one doing but I have put it on hold for the time being.
I have had Sciatica for about ten weeks, talk about a "pain in the arse", that is where it starts and goes right down to my ankle and it happens to be in the leg with the new knee. The doctor says it will go away eventually whenever that is. I am hobbling around on a crutch at the moment.
Just go down to have a look on Boxing day Vic, let the others get their feet wet.
A Merry Christmas.
Alec.

11:4034871Been down the town and got what you need for your Boxing Day dip, Vic?
Presumably that'll be a ticket to Barbados, then!
Or a hip flask for the Highland Park?
True friends stab you in the front.
