That’s so annoying. How long are you in jail?

I knew you weren’t in jail. I’m so sorry to hear that. My husbands been in a leg cast for 10 weeks and that’s been bad enough and he’s been at home.

Not from UK but happened to catch this. I spent about a month in the hospital last year and another 3 months immobilized while recovering. It truly is depressing. I wish you the best in all ways

Im sorry to hear that. What did he do to his leg?

Thanks. Im waiting on a rehab hospital to tske me, so I can start proper rehabilitation. They say on average most people recover there between 6 to 8 weeks. Its just the waiting for a bed which is dragging on

Blue skies in the East today as well following torrential rain for a few days

Means the grass is going to go mental and will need cutting.

Trip to the beach with the kids today. Maybe a swim

Beautiful blue skies here too. Shame they’re outside the office window.

Good luck! I had a routine operation go south and ended up with a spinal fusion. Thankfully I recovered but it was a trying experience. My heart is with you

Thanks. Op went well. Compression caused nerve damage to my legs which hopefully with lots of physio i can regain. Prognosis is good, just gonna take a long time

Does a Commonwealth country count? I’m not from the UK but I love people who are! My great-grandparents are from the UK and my stepfather grew up between Reading & Marlow…

I get it. Had to wait months to heal before I started PT, which was also months. But I took it seriously and tried to do everything they asked. Hard to believe it was literally a year ago today and I’m back to normal. So you got this!

I'd say so! We share a monarch, after all!

Have 4 big scars, which I don’t love, but if that’s the worst I’ll take it

They can have him. And his brother

May I kiss it better?

 

[CuriousJInLA]

Sounds similar. Also have screws and a cage with a donor disc. I’m lucky. And my wife likes the scars

I’m sure @SirSparky and I can reciprocate in whatever way you see fit
