Last updated: October 17, 2025 I've been pain-free on this artificial knee for 10 years. They told me it would last 10-15 years. I nodded like a good patient and then did what I always do- ride my bike a lot. Since January 1st, I've put down 5,000+ miles. Since July of 2024, about 8,000. That's lovely... until this year, when the knee started barking again.
I said, 'OK, this is what I'm dealing with. I don't know the total damage done, but I know it's something that I'm going to have to work back from.' 'I gotta have faith. That's all it was, the main part. Like it was you have faith and belief that what's done for you is going to be for you.'
I have serious concerns about the impact of real-terms education budget cuts on already inadequate provision and about the lack of real appetite and ambition for improvement that this represents. The prison service has a duty to protect the public by making prisoners less likely to reoffend when they are released, but too often it is failing to fulfil this responsibility.
Striker Lucas Akins has returned to Mansfield Town following his release from prison, the League One club has confirmed. The 36-year-old was jailed for 14 months in April after pleading guilty to causing the death of a cyclist by careless or inconsiderate driving. Adrian Daniel, 33, died 10 days after he was struck by a Mercedes G350 being driven by Akins near Huddersfield in March 2022.
Ozzy Osbourne died 17 days after his spectacular farewell concert in July, an event that had millions of metalheads in big, beautiful tears over his legacy. It's doubtful, though, that Osbourne would've made the trek to Birmingham, England - or, to be more blunt, still been alive - if it weren't for the intensive physical therapy he received in the months leading up to the concert.
Los Angeles Dodgers right-handed reliever Brusdar Graterol confirmed that he will not be returning this season as he recovers from offseason shoulder surgery. "I'd like to tell all my Dodgers fanbase that I would have liked to be in the postseason but my rehabilitation hasn't been easy, so I've already changed my mindset for 2026," Graterol wrote in a post translated to English. "Thanks to everyone for always being attentive, I love you Dodgers fans."
A man in his mid-50s with a spine bent in half from multiple bullet wounds, Darryl is practically skipping from cell to cell, rousing the other detainees and encouraging them to join us for class in the makeshift studio-an otherwise unused basketball court with no nets. The gray space is windowless and aggressively lit overhead, yet free of all distractions. If you close your eyes and take a deep, deeply vulnerable breath, ignoring the security guard with a taser on his hip hovering at the door, you can imagine this is a cement sanctuary for silent contemplation, maybe even healing.
Ministers are pushing through powers to photograph, name and shame offenders who have been ordered to complete unpaid community work in England and Wales. The sentencing bill, now moving through parliament, will for the first time give probation officers a legal power to take and publish the names and pictures of individuals ordered by courts to tidy grass verges, litter-pick or scrub graffiti.
My whole left side went out... I had to learn to walk again, and that was tough. The doctors said they didn't think I'd be able to go back on stage again. I go, 'No, no, I'm gonna do it. Watch and see.'
Katie told her life story. She spoke about how she got married, and she spoke about how her focus was on boxing for years, and about how she was the first woman to bring professional boxing to the Olympics.

She spent three hours with us, we had tea, [her] mum Bridget [Taylor] was there.
When Chris Wilder had a massive stroke four years ago, doctors told his wife that he might not survive and if he did, he might not ever walk or talk again. The former Valley Health Foundation executive director, then 53, had been rushed from his home in the Santa Cruz Mountains to Good Samaritan Hospital after Kate Wilder noticed her husband's face slump a sign of a stroke.
Variously described as an architect, painter, novelist, communist and convicted fraudster, Fernand Pouillon's life was punctuated by abrupt reversals of fortune that might have sprung from the pages of Dickens or Dumas. Throughout an eventful career, he ricocheted from intoxicating success, to financial scandal, prison, exile and eventual rehabilitation. In 1985, when Pouillon was in his early 70s, he was awarded the Legion d'Honneur by President Francois Mitterrand. Yet just over 20 years earlier, Pouillon found himself in custody awaiting trial on charges of corruption.
Arsenal forward Kai Havertz has had a knee operation which the club have described as 'minor.' The Germany international missed last week's 5-0 win against Leeds after picking up the problem during the win at Manchester United on the opening weekend of the Premier League season.
I thought it was serious, but it wasn't as serious. But still something [to] get rehab on and that's what my main focus is right now, is just to attack rehab and do what I've got to to get back on the field and help the team.
