Sorry to hear this ohnonotshopping, I too have Osteoarthritis in my hip, severe in one and moderate in the other. I have started using a stick as the pain from my hip when walking is too much, but I feel so ancient using it. I'm 67 so I'm not a youngster anyway, but oh for the days when I could walk from room to room without having to grab my stick. I also have other medical problems, M.E. Meniere's Disease, GORD, a back problem and can't lift even a watering can full of water or lift anything even remotely heavy and have had to start using Glaucoma drops and I feel pretty decrepit now. It's difficult isn't it, I am someone who reminisces a lot too in a good way, which doesn't help, as I often think 'ah I remember when I was in my twenties...' Get a grip woman, I try to tell myself, you ain't in your twenties now but it doesn't seem to work. I am happy but feel a bit stuck at the same time. As I look out of the window, the grass is so long, the weeds are coming through thick and fast and I worry. My youngest daughter is brilliant, she has a 5 month old baby but still comes over to mow the lawns and asks if there's anything else she can do. If I mention something that I need to do when I'm able, she quickly says 'I can do that for you' bless her. She said only this morning that she will come over to pull up the weeds as soon as it stops raining and I had to put her off (nicely) as I don't want to be a burden! Anyway, I digress, any time you want to pm me ohnonotshopping, please do so and meanwhile, take care of yourself
