Well, KT buggered the right knee up years ago in a 3 wheeler accident and about 8 years ago buggered the left knee up, tearing both the inner and outer tendons, then when His Majesty came down with cancer and had to have a Super Port installed, that ended my swinging efforts due to being told do not do repetitive motion. So in 2013, I had recovered and had the port removed in July. Went back to start swinging 6 weeks later and wound up crawling back to the Royal Carriage due to bad knees, worn completely out...Oh Sure, I can pull myself up using nearby Totlot play equipment, but the old knees hurt too much to fool with it now at 73. I still have the mding spirit, but KT needs to find an enthusiastic assistant to do the kneeling and digging!
Have yet to come across a volunteer for that job!
Knee operations are in the future, but since KT gets around ok and can, when necessary get down and back up, His Majesty is putting off any knee surgery until He is at least 80. Knee replacements are only good for about 15 years....and 80 will be good because KT does not figure to be still earth bound by 95! And He is never going to have it done a second time! Life is too short to be hung up that long.
