My osteoarthritis, especially in my knees, is by far the most selfish part of my body. I can barely get out of my car or off a regular-height toilet any more. I had to install handicap bars in October in my condo and I’m only 46. I didn’t realize I’ll have to miss months of work for each knee replacement until as recently as January.
