I had a cruciate ligament done a few years back. It takes time, getting back full use, but it comes. I can't dance mind you, but then I never could... |

22 Aug 07 - 05:01 PM (#2131423) Subject: RE: Alan Bell's new knee From: The Barden of England Alan was at Sidmouth this year MBSLynne, and we were talking about his up coming 'new knee'. In fact we were having a bit of a giggle regarding how he was going to get around Fleetwood - probably on an electric scooter type thing with his leg pointed straight out. He did say he wouldn't be able to do his 2 weeks of pre-festival tours around town, but I'm sure that people have stepped into the breech for him. In the meantime all my best wishes to you Alan, and look forward as always to the fine festival that is Fylde. John Barden |

26 Aug 07 - 01:59 PM (#2133927) Subject: RE: Alan Bell's new knee From: GUEST,Penny Black on a Cookie free diet! Just to pass on Alan's regards - He came along to The Marsh Mill Concert today (we were filling in for him and the band) Looking quite chirpy and managing on a couple of sticks, He'll see you all at Fylde. To anyone who came along to see Alan at the Mill and was faced with us two Old Fogies and a Drummer (Eric from Loose Chippings) sorry! but glad you all stayed and appeared to have a good time :0) and thanks for the donations to our A.R.C. (Arthritis Research Campaign) collection. For those who have asked about Bill (Hunt) our bass Player and third member of the duo.. He's keeping a smile on his face (ably assisted by pints of real ale) and awaiting any day now to be admitted for surgery, so Jerry (RatCatchers) will be deputising at Fylde for him - we might even coax Eric along as well! A plethora of invalids at Fylde this year!! Looks like it might be a dry Fylde so me tin leg's gonna be OK! Pete |
