Arthritis Quote by Jonathan Dimbleby

“Recently, I had a hip resurfaced. It's different from a hip replacement because it's done with titanium. I like to think that it's the consequence of riding horses so strenuously, but I fear it's much more mundane and was just early-onset arthritis.” quote by Jonathan Dimbleby
