Having been diagnosed with osteoarthritis in both knees, the journal will track my thoughts and reactions to medications, fitness, relationships to those closest to me and my state of mind as decisions are made. Hopefully the journal will document the process toward probable operations for knee replacement, recovery and life with artifical knees.
There is no intention to become a medical expert. Rather, it is the exploration of the disease and the personal impact it has on one individual attempting to sort through relatively complex new information and interpret that information as best one can. Looking back, one will find mistakes, folly and maybe even some fortuitous wisdom.
Maintaining a sense of humour is a priority.
