J and I were involved in a car accident in April 2008. I drove round a corner and met Swedish tourists who had forgotten which side of the road to drive on... a head-on collision. Fortunately the only damage apart from our car being written off was to my shoulder.... a broken bone which took a while to heal. It was starting to click and be painful with the onset of autumn 2009 here and I went back to the doctor in May.
He diagnosed early osteoarthritis (OA) developing in the joint and recommended me seeing a physio. So now I am seeing a physio for my shoulder and my hip which is also giving early OA problems. Discovered the hip problem when playing squash recently... it almost stopped me moving for about 4 days!
I need to keep active and build up the muscles in my joints to keep the pain away...
Another funny thing... my physio is Richard McConnell, a New Zealander with a Northern Irelander surname... His parents hail from Belfast... and his sister is living in Carrickfergus... Northern Irelanders everywhere!!!!
