If I have the op it will be my 11th but unless he truly convinces me that they can get it right I may not bother. It will mean another 6 months on crutches and I feel like I'm losing riding time day by day as it is Hang in there Bob, you're a legend! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You look back and consider how many aren't.......most of my original bike mates never survived the 70's. It was like The Killing Fields back then. And since then so many others have gone through illness.......now I don't wonder what old friends are doing, I wonder whether they're still alive. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got a school photo somewhere from when I was about 12. I can cross a few off as no longer being with us now. Rough school, bound to be fatalities though. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my case I've had bad knees for over 30 years......stretched MCL's due to stupid sports in my youth. But it's not a case of they've particularly got worse.....more a case of the rest of me has got worse around them due to advancing years. So where I could compensate for them to some degree in the past, it's getting harder all the time to do that now I'm 66. Which is why I've got to get a lighter bike very soon. However, I am lucky inasmuch as I don't suffer from arthritis......I always figured I'd be riddled with it in old age because of the way I bombarded my body with impacts in my youth. But nothing! But I am partly deaf in one ear due to wind noise on bikes over the years.......and I need to wear glasses all the time now. So.....that's my liabilities at the present time......just got to work round them as best I can! So what's your current situation in terms of physical problems? And we don't need to know your mental problems.....or we'll be here all fucking day! I am totally fine. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
