    Oh Val, sorry about being squashed and the meds upsetting your tummy. Why do some people think it is ok to take up so much space?!

    Hope the holiday was lovely prior to that.

    I have had OA since mid twenties. It affects my hips and knees. I had a THR on the left aged 30 and now have a resurface-replacement on the right - done May 2010.

    That sounds like the plane journey from hell, valval. There's little enough room on some planes/with some airlines to start with.

    Glad you're getting things under control but such a shame you had to.

    Hope things keep improving.
    If at first you don't succeed, then skydiving definitely isn't for you.

    I think I have the solution: private jet next time, yes? Only you and Steve in a cabin designed for six, perfect.

    I am sorry that you have had this to deal with, I hope the meds are having a good effect and that you soon feel better/brighter. As if you don't have enough with which to contend . . . . . . Take care. DD
