I said I’d explain later.  Last night I came home from work and I was pottering around the house doing bits and bobs when my knee started hurting.  Within minutes I was in agony and I spent most of the night sitting on the sofa with my leg up.

I’ve had chronic osteoarthritis in both my knees for years and I’ve had quite a lot of surgery on them and the pain last night was like the pain I’ve had in the past when I’d just had surgery.  Anyway, it’s still hurting today.  Don’t know why.  It’s not swollen much more than it usually is and it’s making all the usual grating, grinding and clicking noises but no more so than normal.

It’ll either pass in the next day or so like normal or give me hell for the rest of the winter.  C’est la vie as they say in Djibuti.
