They're well-known for taking the knee.

And being genuinely flexible.
to be attended by a nurse called Denise.
apparently it smokes all the rest
I already spotted a couple of very visually arresting nurses when I was there yesterday, so here's hoping. On the other hand though.. I will have to try to be on my best behaviour when the time comes. You see.. I don't know if this is commonplace, or just me.. but whenever I am coming around from any sort of anaesthetic or sedation..any female I see seems like a Goddess and I instantly fall for her... God only knows what I have uttered in those situations, before I'm fully conscious again..
It certainly resinates with me...
Is Denise’s surname Brown, and does she have kids?Good progress, Mull and exc. news. However, the best place for knee op's is Neasden Hospital, (NW London) and to be attended by a nurse called Denise.

Blimey Sue, with that level of twisted opaque punnery I’m worried you may be at the start of the road I am lost on. Do your friends smile at you weakly whilst walking backwards quickly yet?Is Denise’s surname Brown, and does she have kids?
because knees ops have traditionally been the preserve of Mother Brown
They’ve been doing that for years. Always try not to let me get between them and the door.
Re. question 1. Mull - Yes, I was given some knee exercises before my op. As you're in the mood to go direct to the main man, might be good to ask the question. Here in Suffolk, I can refer direct to the physios, and they're the folk you need to see. Of course, it'll be down to your own medical status as to whether rest, gentle exercise, or something more vigorous is appropriate.Right! Stop that!
On a sensible note. I have two questions for those who have been fortunate enough to undergo Total Knee Replacements.
1. Were you advised to do knee strengthening exercises before the surgery? I was before my cartilage op 40 years ago, but so far nothing has been said re: the knee replacement. Obviously I shall ask them ASAP, but I never underestimate the powers of the PFM Massive when it comes to advice. You'd think it would be a good idea, but at present, the pain I experience is directly proportional to the amount of time I spend standing or walking... so not sure that anything other than complete rest is going to help.
2. Pre the Op..did you get referred pain? At present my left knee is much more painful than the right, although it was the right which was initially slated for replacement... and the pain travels down my calf and into my foot.Bending the knee is very painful. I'm guessing it stems from a 'small effusion in the suprapatellar bursa' seen by the radiologist...and wondering if it needs a steroid injection.
.......just curious to know how this will help you get to the shops?If you have knee issues I recommend the "knees over toes guy" on the internet. He suggests walking backwards on a treadmill as a start.
By stopping your knees hurting?.......just curious to know how this will help you get to the shops?
