I would kill for a $75k mortgage... think more in the region of $280k and thats with us paying it off like crazy for the last 2 years!

17.5 yrs old. dodgy knees. real bad. looked ahead. stopped Uni. was already in full time work, so bought 90k home, 11sqm in Woodcroft from my grandma who moved to smaller home in an oldies estate

borrowed 45k from oldies and 45k "other means", after 7yrs owed 45k

sold for 210k

paid back oldies, borrowed 130k from bank and bought 272k 22sqm home in Morphett vale and stagea

got that down to 75k as at now

never travelled, never had a "holiday", dont go out (bad knees so thats ok), but had the nice bike, so I havent missed out so to speak.

but yah, knees are still no go. house valued at 350-380k so we'll look for a 300k home and reduce our morgage again. make it a bit easier on my state-of-mind.

in short - I forsaw that my knees would possibly be a bugga (pain/issues/docs back at age 11) so I decided to start early.

good decision, good decision.

bad knees tho, wouldnt wish them on ANYONE

Man you've certainly had a tuff time there but it sounds like you've got your head screwed on the right way with what you've accomplished so far.

A mate of mine that used to be an Inspector at Holden Hill had real bad knees too (probably from chasing too many crooks from his uniform days) and ended up getting a titanium transplant on his real bad knee. Not sure if you've looked into that sort of thing or whether you're even a candidate but I thought it was worth a mention.

yeah they wont do Total Knee Replacements for me as yet due to age and height

only option I had was a) neck myself, or b) rip out both kneecaps and put wedges thru the tibias (to control the legs)

I chose option b) after much thought

this will have to see me thru for a decade.

had to give up my bike riding last year - one day hope to get back on a Sled like yours

[Tangles]

surgeon wants to f**k around with my right knee more

tendons are dislocating so he wants to get in there and tidy it up again

f**k off

so not ready for 13th knee op

not yet sunshine, not yet.

[Tangles]

cheers for the catch up Lee

thanks for the effort for arranging the coffee

was good to see you again this morning

take care, look after the soon2benew-family dude

[Hotwire]

Brendan thats BS!

So did they stuff up the surgery last time around and that's why the tendons are dislocating or is it just because of how your knee is?

[Tangles]

whats BS?

that we had a coffee this morning?

liar !!!!

pants on fire !!!!!!!!!!!

oh, knee.... errm, yeah

some of the synthetic stitches have come away, leaving the tendons to pop out around their path of travel.

needs to be cleaned up and restitched, ie, tendons/ligaments are stitched together to enable me to bend, in lieu of patella(s)

but yeah, not ready for that atm.
