I am waiting on knee surgery, have been for 9 months now... at times find it difficult to put my foot to the floor... but I still go to work, do the shopping and cook dinner, as well house work and washing...obviously hubby supports me and helps when the pain is bad and granted i have a sitting job... but all the same he could have cooked a bit of dinner... and like I said previously did the princess HAVE to have a cooked meal of King Prawns and all that s that was poured on the plate - NO... in my house it would have been a quick 'if it's' dinner...(if it's in the cupboard you can have it)....
