it is hoped that your infirmity was treatable?
Well, I can walk fine and everything and always could, but the family doctor's told me I'm more susceptible to getting arthritis earlier in life than most other people. Seeing as my knees get noticeably hot when I walk around during the colder months, I guess that's the case.
Sad thing is I don't even now what condition I have -- if the doctors ever told my mother, she doesn't remember. I guess I should ask the doctor myself one of these days.
