The same old painted lady

I’m really upset. Jez is still limping, so we were starting to worry about her. Consequently I took her to the vet this afternoon. Turns out she has a problem with her knee. The vet mentioned ‘arthritis’ and the fact that the joint is moving out of the socket slightly. Although she didn’t say so it sounds like something called Luxating Patella. But whatever it is it sounds as though it will be a problem for life. It also means I’ve had to cancel her agility.

I’ve booked her in tomorrow to have X-Rays done so that we can find out what is going on. She has to have an anaesthetic for that. Poor little soul. I’ll let you know how she is when we know more.

I don’t think I’d said, but I was due to play the Friday night death in Winchester this week. Now Joy wants me to swap characters and do the whole week-end. I get to play the local tart. Type cast again. So I’m currently learning the plot and my part. And knitting – I’ve decided to knit a nice warm cardigan/jacket. I used to do loads of knitting back in the 70s & 80s, but haven’t done any for over 15 years now! Don’t seem to have lost my touch though, although I find I can remember what I’m doing if I don’t think too hard about it.
