Sorry everyone, I have been wrapped up in my own agenda lately as I have been waiting for a year for an Ankle Joint. As Marg will tell you, I was limping well when she was here with Roy last year. Since then, I have been keeping up my usual work rate and as the Ankle gets progressively worse, it gets harder and harder to cope. I now have trouble making 100 yards without extreme pain, apparently there is no cartilage left in the first joint thus the pain. The delay is not due to the system failure but all mine as they would not take me in with high blood pressure. That problem is now resolved and today I have been for a pre op survey and passed with flying colours so am staring down the barrel of my first bit of titanium implant within the next Month. The downside is that I am not allowed to put my foot to the ground for at lest 6 weeks after the op, that will kill me!!!
    On the positive side, I have a long standing desire to learn Google's sketchup, Her in doors will have to wait on me hand and foot (YEH), there are some books I need to catch up on, pester Gabby to distraction, and recall some of the favours I have done for others as I never charge for my work, only the materials. I will shut up now as you must be getting PEED off by now IGGY  8) 8) 8) 8)

I'm with G.B.. Titanium rocks! I've got a titanium hip. Broke it on a Monday, got operated on on Tuesday, walking with crutches on Wednesday was home on Friday and walking without aid buy the following Friday. It will more than likely outlive all the rest of my joints.  :D ;) ;D

 Thanks G B and R R for your encouraging comments. I am not concerned about the surgery but the recovery time is a pain. Because the Joint is so small, they fit a hinge rather like a dovetail joint and the bone has to grow back around it to hold it in place so the after care is as follows. 6 weeks in a cast during which time you are not allowed to put your foot to the floor at all then another 6 weeks with a pump  up boot followed with another 3 months of intensive therapy. The tools will be rusty and the car won't start, but on the + side, I get to virtually spend the winter in bed and hope God will pay the winter fuel bills. Iggy.

Ian, don't listen to Marge her bark is worse than her bite. Believe me, I'm married to a MARG too. Coming up on 45 years of threats that come to nothing. Fortunately she is out at the moment so she wont see this LOL.
Take care Ian.

Good luck with your upcoming surgery

You'll get a full page out of it and that should keep her.................(fill in the blank)
