THISTLE

A thistle growing out in the fields .

A nice sunny morning (for a change !! ) must get outside to attack some of my own home grown weeds !!!!!!
Had a Hospital appointment yesterday to see the Orthopaedic consultant - as regards my left knee . I had dad an MRI scan a few weeks ago and yesterday had further x rays and he decided there was no repair he could do but for a whole knee replacement ,for which I have agreed to -- which should take place in approx. around September !! The only draw back is that I am on so much different medication -- so have to see the rheumatologist for advice and perhaps change of drug over the operation period ! Life can be so complicated !!

I like your shot, Beryl. The situation does sound complicated but hope it will really help.

Great shot! Good luck with the knee. My Dad had his replaced and it was a huge improvement for him.

A super shot, great processing. Good luck with the knee. John had a knee replacement a few years ago, and it's fine.

It might be a weed to us Gardeners Beryl but its what the wild life depends on, saying that, I would not have it in my Garden...Fav

I know they are a weed but I love to see them I think they have fascinating and colourful flowers .It will be good to get your knee done Beryl not too long to wait.

Lovely shot. Hope all goes well. medications can be so complicated at times can't they. At least they have got plenty of time before your op to get them sorted out.

[Sue Cooper]

Lovely capture and processing.
Sorry about the whole knee thing. You must be in a lot of pain so the replacement will be worth it in the end.

[Valerie Chesney]
