Can't afford it sadlyI hope you have private healthcare as getting a knee replacement in the public service can be a very slow process unfortunately.

"What's that on the road ahead?" as opposed to "What's that on the road, a head?"I used to teach as a casual teacher and I used the example "Let's eat, Grandma" and "Let's eat Grandma"
Oh yeah! Autocorrect drives me in sane... but also its the American mispronunciations and use of their spelling that drives me insane! But we're off track... and Ticky will kill us or delete us!One spelling (or grammatical) error that drives me particularly nuts (and there are many that drive me nuts) is the inclusion of an apostrophe before the 's' in a plural. I still reckon many people put it there because they don't understand apostrophes. But I've also noticed my phone "autocorrecting" by inserting apostrophes where they don't belong and I typically don't notice until I've posted a reply (and sometimes don't notice even then). If I do, I go back and edit, lest anyone think I don't know how to use apostrophes. But it's taught be to be more tolerant of those who put them where they don't belong. It may be their phone, not them.
There are probably other autocorrects (or autoincorrects) that devices make that we don't notice in an informal setting where we don't always proof what we read.
“Helping my uncle Jack off a horse” Vs “Helping my uncle jack off a horse”."What's that on the road ahead?" as opposed to "What's that on the road, a head?"
"What is this thing called love?" as opposed to one you don't want to hear from a potential love interest ... "What is THIS thing called, love?"
Can't afford it sadly
See how this goes , thank you for the adviceI am sorry about that. I hope the waiting list is not too long.
Correct. I’ve asked for one and I can’t get one because I’m too young even though I need one. Knee gave way yesterday and I fell over. My kneecap is chronically dislocated and the only thing they recommended me was the removal of the patella.I hope you have private healthcare as getting a knee replacement in the public service can be a very slow process unfortunately.
The anaesthetic makes it feel betterSee how this goes , thank you for the advice
That makes no sense to me. If there's damage and it needs to be fixed it shouldn't matter how old you are. Surely if you're younger it increases your recovery rate.Correct.

KJ is metric whilst cal is imperial.Was just in KFC getting a bit of lunch. I noticed they display dietry information in kj as opposed to cal. I think people are very much more aware about calorie intake in regards to weight, and do you think they display it in kj to obfuscate how fattening they can be?
Just got a Zinger burger with a slice of cheese and bacon on it = 3600kj. I decided out of curiousity to convert that into cal, and it was 880! Holy moly; just for the burger and no chips or drink...
I have to agree , if he's not working just guessing he could apply for a disability pensionThat makes no sense to me. If there's damage and it needs to be fixed it shouldn't matter how old you are. Surely if you're younger it increases your recovery rate.
You're right, I might've worded it poorly. I mean to say that I think people are much more familiar with calories as a figure in relation to dietry intake and maybe aren't as aware with kj. I've never in my puff heard people talk kj in terms of monitoring what they eat, etc. Kinda figured that KFC display it in kj as people might be put off to a degree if they see the figure in calories, haha.KJ is metric whilst cal is imperial.
Roughly 8,000kj is 2,000cal. So divide the number by 4 and that gets you close enough if you aim for a 2,000cal a day diet
If it helps, they are displayed in calories in the USA and that doesn't stop them at all from eating it!You're right, I might've worded it poorly.

But calibre is measured in the metric system so probably causes them all to freak the **** out again!They probably think the cal means 'calibre' this burger is in 30.06!

I was told that the knee replacements lasted 15 years or so, but I agree, if you need one, you need oneThat makes no sense to me. If there's damage and it needs to be fixed it shouldn't matter how old you are. Surely if you're younger it increases your recovery rate.
I’m on the disability pension already and I still can’t get one also.That makes no sense to me. If there's damage and it needs to be fixed it shouldn't matter how old you are. Surely if you're younger it increases your recovery rate.
So you don't have private ? sorry to intrude but i can share your pain .I’m on the disability pension already and I still can’t get one also.
No kj is Australia'a recognised measuring unit... has been since the mid 80s! I think you are a little behind the times...Was just in KFC getting a bit of lunch. I noticed they display dietry information in kj as opposed to cal.

No, replacing a knee used to have a very limited life span (i.e. 15 years (less if you are overweight)) and you could only have 2 at most before the bone will not longer hold; so doing if before you are 55 or 60 almost always guarantees you will require a wheelchair for mobility. It also depends on bone density (I think), and what the specific issue is...That makes no sense to me. If there's damage and it needs to be fixed it shouldn't matter how old you are. Surely if you're younger it increases your recovery rate.
