Congatulations, you must be so pleased. Please take care not to fall over the walking black rug, that is newfie like.

Thank you, yes I expect they used a Black & Decker drill to make the hole for the pin

Thanks Lou

Thank you MissE - my niece also did her kneecap (playing hockey) Doc. said knee and ankles are the two worst things to break

Thanks Tassle, I hope so too.

Thank you Jackie
Keep those lovely knees in one piece Em

Don't worry Vicki I didn't do sprinting even before I broke it

Thanks, yea freedom, you never appreciate it 'till you don't have it

Trust you to think of that Apperently I just put the foot on the scales and 'lean' on it 'till it equals 5Kg. and that is supposed to tell me how much load I can put on it - I would guess it's not meant to be an exact meusurement

Oh yes, with the crutches it was impossible (Had to ask them to move ) now I might be able to navigate around them

Great news, Harvey, but be careful!!

Great news H, hope it's not painful either, but you must take it slowly and do everything they say, otherwise you could knock yourself back again, and be carefuly, VERY careful where you tread, especially if you have to climb over those great big bears around the house like I do here! I stubbed my little toe the other night falling out of the kitchen into the bootroom coz Georgie was getting all excited over his dinner! I can't even wear those lovely new walking boots I bought, just as you told me to I have to wear the old trainers with a big wodge of cotton wool on my toe just to be able to walk! So I'm half with you now!!! Keep it up H, you're doing soooooo well!xxxx

Thanks Nicola, it is tempting to start bounding around

Thanks H - I'm well pleased because since the op. I've had no pain at all, I won't try going over the Newfs but going around should be easier now Ouch, that little toe must hurt hope it gets better soon.
