Hi @marcianicholls

I just wanted to say hello from me too.

Please do keep your eyes out for people facing knee surgery it really really helps them to have 'experts' to share their own stories and answer questions they have.

I hope you'll decide to hang around there are plenty here who would value your input RA wise too.

take care
