Tea? (Part 2)

I am hoping to get permission to remove the orthopedic boot today.

So you may be giving the boot the boot

Belated good luck, NT.

Lots of here. And .

It is very very and here today.

What a difference a different consultant makes.
Seeing the locums at Mr S's clinic was a bit pointless really. Long 2 hour waits, only being seen for a minute or two, no information, no time to listen to the patient, little explanation of the conclusions or results.
Today seeing Mr M in another clinic I was seen only 5 minutes late, Mr M spent time listening to me, talking with me, examining my leg, taking me for a walk to see how my leg was performing, re examining and discussing the options with me. He told me I could dispense with the boot and get on with physio.
However, he called me back just before I was about to leave and had to retract. Mr S had written in my notes that I was to keep the boot for 6 weeks and Mr M couldn't counter that.
He did offer a compromise that I could dispense with the boot except for walking.

So the boot is off, it will stay off until I need to walk anywhere. I can make it across the room without it, and have been doing so a bit anyway, but I will wear it to go down stairs or to go out or if I am standing for any length of time (baking).

I am happy! And so looking forward to sleeping without the boot on!

Excellent news NT, don't be overdoing it though, especially now Arch has a bad back and might need waiting on

Have got in from a hard days work (4 hours) and am now awaiting my sausages to be grilled to perfection, ready for a sausage and egg toastie

.....don't do too much, just take it easy for a few weeks.

Its free to cycle in

I love going past the queue of cars that are waiting to pay their £5
My favourite local spot, especially on a Sunday morning before it gets busy

I will be taking it very easy, it will be a sort of backwards step (pardon the pun) as I will be less able for a while then I have been. I am not even going to kid myself that I can drive, ride a bike or even do stairs properly yet, just hoping I can get enough stability to get up the ladder to bed without my boot on.

I think I deserve the opportunity to massage Arch deserves a massage later.

Potsy, has that nasty snake eaten your cat?

You'd think, being Potsy, that this would have been more appropriate.

Is that a bacon & brie snake shaped butty??

To be honest,for a total of £12.50 me and my lot got a full day out,play on two adventure playgrounds and a look round the farm so i do not mind that cost.

Yeh its a great ride - a stag leapt over a fence right in front of me last time I was there. It was awesome.

Now that is great, would have liked to have seen it.

I'm assuming you mean the animal and not some chav on his stag do?

It's nice being here earlier. We've been for a hobble down to Morrisons for some baking materials. And some beer, which kinda fell into the basket.

Now, time for
