knee operation This was taken in my bedroom. I had a whole year of hospitals and so forth, and this was the culmination of (please god) a very successful knee replacement. This is part of me going through life and surviving on one's own actually.

zimmer frame Now the zimmer has gone, and I'm still managing very well indeed. I hate to say this - there's a commode in the corner, which was an absolute essential thing for me living on my own.

I don't like living on my own but am making the best of it.

I do as much as I can for myself, and just thank god that I've had such a wonderful life, wonderful husband, wonderful family, and thank goodness I can still drive.

I won't give in.
