Monty's Knee Woes: Double Replacement After Ignoring Doctor

Monty, the well-known gardening personality, has shared details of his battle with persistent knee problems that have affected him for over ten years. He admitted to ignoring medical advice, including prescribed painkillers and the suggestion to stop digging, which ultimately led to the deterioration of his knees.

He recently underwent a double knee replacement surgery. Monty expressed optimism about his recovery, drawing a parallel to his aging Land Rover, and anticipates being able to resume his activities with the help of skilled surgeons.

This openness about his health follows previous candor regarding his experiences with Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD). Monty also discussed his personal gardening habits, noting a preference for solitary time in the garden, even differentiating his practice from that of his wife.

He finds solace in dedicating specific time to be alone in the garden, describing it as a personal treat. Even with his wife, they tend to occupy the same space rather than actively garden together.
