Nicola - that sucks about the running. :/ Does it hurt you to use the cross trainer? My high school had a gym, and I always chose it over the treadmill 'cause it didn't impact my ankles. I have this odd thing where if I don't place my feet in a certain way, my ankles lose control of supporting my weight and I fall over. :oops: But - it might be able to satisfy your love of running, at least a little bit. :) I suppose your doctor's probably told you all the equipment and stuff you can use, though. :)

You're so lucky you have a GP that gives you all this advice! =/ Our practice is so oversubscribed that you're ushered in and out before they've even had a chance to diagnose you! xD

I dunno about a cross trainer yet - I guess if I do go to a gym I'll just have to try stuff and see what works. I've never been in one - I always just ran on the streets.

Ah, it was my consultant that has told me all this - I was referred to the hospital by my GP for the x rays and MRI that preceded the arthritis diagnosis. But everyone has been great. We are lucky to have the NHS.

Indeed we are. Can you imagine if you'd had all this done, then been hit with a bill for £8,000....!

Aye him, with his wee bawbag face grinning away. His bawbag collar sticking out. His bawbaggy mustardy jumper. Bawbag.

I know. Not to mention all the surgery I've already had. The fixator they used in my leg when I had it lengthened cost £10,000 alone. Here's a lovely pic!

It is, loving the floral curtains.

In all seriousness though that is one menacing looking contraption. Like some kinda medieval torture device.

Ooft.

Floral curtains. Two entirely different things. One-track mind, you.

Can't they get you the dual screen, one keyboard/mouse/PC thing? One of the girls in the office has two monitors but only one keyboard/mouse/PC, she just drags certain programmes over to the right screen & drags the mouse from screen to screen, depending on which one she wants to use.

Wow, good spot devilsduck. I was too distracted by how busy the wallpaper on the left screen looks.

Annoying me today... running for 9:30 train to miss it by seconds and have to wait an hour for next train.
