Looking back, I just didn’t know how to say how I was feeling, not really, and it’s hard when you have a reputation for resilience and reliability.

If I go right back, somewhere in about 2007-2008 something started to go wrong. I suddenly got arthritis in both hips, reducing my mobility almost overnight. X-rays confirmed that it was significant, but I got advised that I was too young for a hip replacement and got physio that managed to overcome some of the worst aspects of it.
