Hello ladies, long time lurker here too. Really enjoy this thread so time I introduced myself. I'm Karen, 55 years old and live in Putaruru with hubby and 2 cats. Mum of 3 and granny to 21 month old Lucas. Avid knitter and keen gardener although that is on the backburner while i await my FSA for a knee replacement, 435 days I have been waiting and when i was talking to the hospital last month they were booking appointments to those who had been on the list 525 days so maybe by the end of the year I might be seen. Then goodness knows how long I will be on the surgical waiting list. However we battle on.
