    He was walking without a limp when we left and seems ok now, though we'll have to see how he is during the evening/night. The fall seems to have freed the nerve from whatever was trapping it :D:D The doc did say it could go as quick as it started, seems he was right :D

    yay if Mr 3Dogs is better :j:j and well done to the 11lbs loss, and to you 3 Dogs for your 1lb loss.

    Just passing-through. Hope the fall fixed Alan's problem. There is nothing worse than a trapped nerve.

    Yes, I told them that not everyone paid out yet so assuming she will get it in the next batch, I think she was going to check but I had forgot about it till now so will ask Linda tomorrow

    Morning all - nice bright day here again :j

    Alan had a good night and is ok this morning, with just a bit pain in his leg - nothing like it was, so that fall does seem to have done the trick and freed the nerve - fingers crossed it stays like that. Got a message early this morning to contact the hospital to arrange his physio so that's come through quickly after all. I'll be ringing them shortly to book his appointment

    Watching the cricket on telly at the moment :(:(

    Rat's to not being able to get the dicount Beanie.
    And yes it's good new's, the only downside is when I have to go back to work!Got use to doing a walk mid morning so I could take advantage of the bright sunny day's we've been having and knitting in the afternoon when OH has gone back to bed after taking his pain killer's.
