You wouldn't have it any other way!
You going to the Carlisle meet?
I still have the plate and pins/screws etc in my hip. TBH I don't feel it in the winter (that I think of), it gives me jip in one way or another all the time. Mainly back problems but that may be down to lack of use/muscle in that area. Certainly doesn't ache in the cold like some people seem to get. Then again its in my arse so I guess one of the more insulated parts of the body as it has a bit of meat around it. Aches from sitting on it too long sometimes too.
Damn injuries! Like you though its that or not walking. I remember lying in hospital in traction facing the reality that I was going to have to have a hip replacement at 25, or however old I was, and although I hate football I was sh1t scared that I would never be able to kick a ball around in the park with my boy one day. I didn't even have a son at that stage or intended on it but you kinda have these thoughts of where you will be in life one day. Like they are a given. Not though are they.
