    bless ya bob...hanx for the offer :) speaking of hobbling, went back to see ortho-doc this week...he's going to straighten my leg to ease pressure on my knee - it involves cutting a wedge-shaped piece of bone from the longer, less worn side of leg bone below the knee, thus straightening it and relieving the stress on the bad side :eek:

    on the bright side, he had his done 20-odd years ago and says it's brill once it's healed :)

    They did this with me and crossed some ligaments :eek: Worked a treat. I was in pain for a bit whilst it healed but after about three months i felt like i had a new lease on life:D You won't regret it.

    Mine was unstable as well so something had to be done as i kept falling at strange mens feet:rotfl: :rotfl:
    That was more painful i can tell you, felt like my knee was constantly knocking itself out. In the end i gave up waiting for ambulance or A and E to put it back, so i knocked it back in myself:o
    The operation sorted all of that and made me walk all proper. Unfortunately no Key hole because of what was involved, but i never wear mini skirts anyway..the world couldn't cope:rotfl: :rotfl:
