The canulated screw in my left hip didn't sound alarms last times I flew from East Midlands/Palma and vv or from Birmingham on farewell to DC10 pleasure flight with Bangladesh Biman. Was a problem though entering Probate Office in London to file papers for Mrs B's Mum's will.
Like Nogdab though I found myself youngest by a generation or so on a 'hip ward'. Of six in the bay 3 were gaga, one was 87 and sharp as a tack. Other two were me and another in mid life who'd tumbled from something with two wheels - motorised in his case.

Funnily enough, that very show and scenario was mentioned. As was spoofing it next time we fly. I'll get some fit to fly forms written up in native Georgian by Vic

...use of Virgins first class checkin... There's a punctuation mark missing there but I can't tell if it's an apostrophe or a comma.

Aha!, I may need to throw some questions your way if I get stuck, I am doing probate on my mum's estate It was pretty straightforward tbh. But estate was under £70k and, barring a handful of Lloyds (ex Halifax) shares, all cash and split 2 ways with Mrs B and her brother. Mrs B was the executor but I did the legwork. Property and IHT would be a quantum leap in complexity. If you go to the probate office in person remove any sharp tools or penknives you might normally carry. The security x-ray detected a tiny, under 1inch, penknife in my Brompton pannier. Had to turn the damn bag inside out to find it and it was then confiscated. Had to fill in a form appealing to the security manager to get it back. Took about 6 weeks. Understandable I suppose given the same premises house the Family Court and potential for mischief/demonstration in contentious work but a PITA nonetheless. When you come to swear the executor's affidavit it's a lot quicker to do do before a local Solicitor/Commissioner then wait for an appointment at the court. MAke sure you get enough copies of the sealed Grant, the concept of for noting and return is lost on modern financial institutions.

Wimp! I was doing stairs unaided the morning after my hip arthroscopy. That was cartilage repair and bone reshaping; no hardware inserted. The traction left some good bruises, though; went through the full rainbow.

You've got physio to look forward to now. Weeks of it. Not painful - mostly - but bloody hard work. If you thought you'd never hear the name Jane Fonda again, have another think. I lost 4kg and about 5cm from my midriff in four weeks. Having the time off work to do it helped - not that you need to worry about that.

What a bunch of old crocks you lot are, what with your dodgy hips, knackered knees etc. I've just ridden up the side of a mountain and howled back down it again faster than most other people half my age and everything still works. Well, I say that, they still seem capable of walking without making involuntary whimpering noises which I currently can't, but you know what I mean...😕
