Work hard work

After a weeks leave I'm back to work tomorrow. I took the week off to rest my knee, I've been having problems with it since January and eventually went to the doctor. He sent me for an x-ray and I finally got to hear the results this week. Arthritis aggravated by a floater ( probably a piece of bone that has broken off). The treatment, nothing as I am already on anti-arthritics, basically the doctor said go away and learn to live with it. I will eventually have to have a knee reconstruction but the National Health Service will not, yes *will not*, do that until I'm sixty plus. I need to win the lottery and go private unless any of you out there has £3000 + you would care to lend me?

Add to that there are major road works going on just up valley from my home village ( about a hundred yards) which are making the busses up to half an hour late, I am going to have a joyous Monday :-(
