Just a quick post as it's got stupidly late, to say I'm finally back. I ended up being in hospital longer than expected and then had to stay a week with my Dad as the hospital would only let me go if I had 24/7 care - well, not care exactly, but someone around all the time.

So now I'm hobbling on crutches and I'm in a non weight bearing plaster for 6 weeks - fun, fun! Then it's another 6 weeks or so in a weight bearing plaster and after that loads of physio before I'm anything like recovered.

I have a sick note for 3 months and intend to take nihil up on his offer - why not? I'm quaking a bit since I'm rather shy .... but will do it soon!

I'll have loads of time on the computer once I get completely over the op, the anaesthetic and the general mauling my body's had. Currently I'm trying to clear a massive backlog of email and get side tracked into chatting with people! However, soon I'll be posting as often as nihil it's good to be back here!
