Oh bless you Saucy. Take a deep breath, get yourself together and ring Customers Services/Complaints at the Head Office stressing that you are disabled and housebound (over-egg it a lttle) and ask them to sort it out for you. Tel: 0845 7225533. You will feel a lot better getting it sorted out even if it takes that bit of energy now. Do this to make Auntie Axe happy? *g*

Thanks for the good wishes regarding Dad - he may perk up again and surprise us all, but it's not looking likely so am trying to spend as much time as poss with him without tiring him out.

Actually Saucy, if you can't bear to do it, PM me the details of your order (Ref Number etc) and I'll phone them for you. I would relish having a fight with someone over the phone and I'm quite good at it :D

Auntie Axe it's good to see you back, but I'm really sorry that your dad seems to be so poorly.
Say Hi to S/E for me.

Another Aymer?? There's more on here than I realised

I signed up for them at one point but I never really went on their forums or anything and I'm too old now.
Sorry to all those reeling from the shock though:o

There was more I was going to reply to, but I can't remember it all now! :rolleyes:
I've just come back from my second physio appt and I've gone from having only 5 degrees (like degrees of a triangle etc) of movement in my ankle, to 25 degrees today!! :T I'm well impressed with my wee self!! Next appt is next thurs now, with another exercise to add to the others and do at home in the meantime...

I've not got used to the weird ergonomic crutches yet, but because of the whole wet leaves outside and wanting to feel confident enough on my crutches while I'm alone/dealing with stairs/going through the hospital corridors I haven't actually given them much of a chance, truth be told.:o

Good news about the ankle movement, but don't do the Wolf's trick and go at it like a bull at a gate, OK?

Ha! I'll try. Tbh, I've got a cold atm which is stopping me... I didn't do the exercises much over the last two days but when I did I pushed myself rather than just giving up when it twinged, iyswim, so I'm pleased with myself I'm not expecting miracles tho.;)

ooh BZ do be careful on wet ground, they do tend to be all slippy in bad weather it's horrible when you can't get outside without them, and don't feel safe with them! Well done on extra movement!

Yeah the wet ground, complicated by wet fallen leaves, freaks me out! Luckily I tend to only have to get to the car and back, with hubby's supervision, otherwise he'll get the wheelchair out...but it freaks me out all the same!
...And has prompted hubby to think of weird things like when I should conceive (when the time comes) in order to not be heavily pregnant in winter/late autumn when the ground's slippy!:A:rotfl: I couldn't decide whether it was really sweet or really funny that he thought of it! I swear he'll wrap me up in cotton wool and bubble wrap when the time comes...:rolleyes:

Awww BZ, atleast he does think of it though Me and DH will be going to Dr's next week to start our ball rolling DH had the snip after his littlest was born and regretted it ever since, so we need to see what can be done so we can have a lil one

Trying to get into college was difficult when I was on crutches as the entrance has loads of tree's around it!!! So lots of leaves, had to take very tiny steps to make sure I didn't slip and managed it ok Anyway, hoping I can go bed now so will see you all again tomorrow (so long as I wake up on time for work!!) roll on weekend!!!!! xx

Sleep well Bevan!

I've given up on the crutches for the most part to be honest, have had to admit defeat and using wheelchair for just about anytime that I'm outside garden, which is frustrating, I loved how inconspicuous I was on my crutches, feels so free and dare I say... normal!

I do get the odd trip down an aisle or two of a small shop every now and then though, when it's been an unexpected trip... and crutches are fab for other people's houses (I know which things I can grab onto, and where they are in my own house ) I'll get there though, just annoying, stupid rebellious legs!
