Yesterday: OK so I have an appointment with the surgeon to discuss my upcoming right hip transplant and only wait an hour to be seen.

We get into a discussion about what hurts and I say my right knee does, I think, but I can't really tell where the pain is coming from, just that it's difficult to walk. The pain in your knee may well be received pain from the hip, says the surgeon. We look at an X-ray of my hip and even I can see the difference between the ball in the socket of my left hip and the big mess on the other side. 

We're here to treat pain, the surgeon says, so you should have your knee replaced first, but the insurance company won't pay for two things in one visit so you'll have to come back next week to get your knee X-rayed. (My GP had sent me to the hospital a month ago for the hip X-ray.)

But the hip replacement is so much easier, I say, everyone says that. No it's not, says the surgeon. They're both serious surgeries. I make an appointment for the knee X-ray next week and on the way home wonder what it will be like when my knee is "OK" after the surgery and I'll have  excruciating pain because of the destroyed hip. 

In spite of all this a friend I haven't seen for ages comes over in the afternoon and we have a brilliant game of UpWords.
