    It went well at the hospital and I don’t need an op :j Alteady signs that the bone is knitting back together.

    That's brilliant - and pretty amazing. It took 12 weeks for the beginnings of bone growth to show on mine and another couple of months for it to complete, though I think that was longer than normal.

    Hope you have a super Christmas. :)

    Just popping in to say Happy Christmas everyone :santa2:

    Had some lovely presents, DD has gone overboard and got me 2 bottles of Whitley Neill gin. Not complaining though :)

    Sent Mr SA out with the dog as she's driving us mad looking for somewhere to bury the bone DD bought her.

    Will be eating main meal tonight, Mr SA and DD have a chicken crown (they don't like turkey) and I've got a nut roast.

    Hope everyone is having a lovely day :)

    Morning all, happy Boxing Day :)

    Hope everyone had a lovely day yesterday.

    Mr SA still in bed. DD bought him a bottle of whisky unfortunately. I don't like him drinking spirits as they don't agree with him, he's also very heavy handed with his measures.

    He was very unhelpful last night preferring to sit drinking his whisky and watching TV rather than help pack away the dinner plates etc. He said his knee and back were hurting :mad: He's so untidy too, leaving a mess everywhere he goes and the washing basket is full of his stuff.

    Anyway that's my moan done for the day.

    Nothing planned for today or any other day really. I'm trying to get a few jobs done in between resting my leg. Everything takes so long, even when Mr SA's helping.

    On the plus side at least I haven't over indulged this Christmas partly because everything got eaten by DS and the GKs on Christmas Eve and partly because I'm not moving much I'm not hungry.

    Slept through most of last night's TV offerings, don't suppose I missed much.

    Have a good day all :)
