    If I was sandpapered down I'd be the same shape but it would need a fair bit of sandpaper.  :( Could be worse...but could be better.

    I know @Ruby12 ... I've been active all my life ... used to have a smallholding ... then before my thyroid problem was diagnosed I snapped my anterior cruciate ligament in my knee whilst on a trampoline ... I've had to be careful ever since then as sometimes it just drops me on the ground without warning ... it did it again last summer ... I was in the garden and OH was at work ... I broke my foot which meant that I was laid up most of the summer and of course that led to problems with the other knee  :#  ... do be careful of your joints, knees in particular ... being hypothyroid can damage ligaments they've told me now  :/

    I didn’t know that Dove . Thank you for the information. Poor you ,that must have been very painful . I hope that you are feeling a lot better now.I do get bursitis in my knees . I don’t know weather that is part of the same problem . However , everything i checked on the internet relating to my health seems to be linked to hypothyroidism.

    A lot better now @Ruby12 thanks ... although I do have to be careful on uneven ground and slopes  ...  hypothyroidism is a good excuse to be curmudgeonly ;) ... it does seem to affect a lot of stuff  :/

    I had hyperthyroidism. That makes you psychopathic rather than curmudgeonly. But you do lose a lot of weight...

    Oh dear that sounds alarming B3 . I had a friend who had that . She had to be on the go all the time . It was exhausting to watch .

    Like all thermostats they're quite useful when they work :)
