Hi Val
Well I am pleased the injection wasn't as bad as you thought it would be.
I hope now that it starts to make you feel a little better.
Well done,
You won't be as bothered now about having your knee done next time.
(hey it will be a nice tanned knee eh?)
Take care,

Take care, Val, and follow doctor's orders. It's a good excuse for resting and getting all the family to wait on you hand and foot. Make the most of it :!:0

felt so much better this morning went to town useing shoulder bag on left side to get some bits i needed (book for hols lol) was shattered when got back how can one injection take so much out of you mind you it probabully the stress that went with the unknown but can breath much easyer so might be working fingers crossed having to remember to breath deep a right pain and you do get very light headed when you forget lol. valval0
