I saw this thread and thought the worst, what with the heading, so I was quite relieved when I read it. As people have said, three and a half months seems an age, but it's not long, when you think of it. I srained a finger and it took that long to get back to being able to use it properly, and it wasn't perfect even then; and I had an ankle the same.
It's a drag though I'm sure. Could you maybe fill in ther time writing down some of the stories?
