Not really -- the doctor spent an hour trying to "clean up" the arthritis and said I need a knee replacement and that I literally have no cartilage in a few spots. But he suggested we could try the gel injections first -- and needless to say I'm going to put all of that off as long as possible -- years, hopefully. And that's not even my worst knee! I have my little stool for weeding, but it's getting harder to take pictures, especially if the flowers are short. I'm sure you can relate, Paul! This getting older is not for the faint of heart, eh?
