Liz...correct on both counts...but how did you guess??!!! Micca did comment and say "Shave What??!

A sponsored weight loss programme....could be just what I need especially with the wedding in 4 months!

Black Walnut....Micca also commented on the Bunny thing but it wasn't about hopping!

I have good movement in the knee but it is restricted. It feels great to have the cast off!!

The cast was taken off my leg today YEAH!!!!!

The knee feels very weak and unstable but the strength will come back with physio which I start in 3 weeks time. The consultant said Im not to go back to work for at least another 6 weeks but hopefully I am going to work from home.

Liz the Squeak and I are going to go swimming so I will be up and about in time for the wedding and handfasting!!

SINS....the cast is uncomfortable so hugs and cuddles are only short in duration. We can't cuddle on the sofa like we normally do....but in just over a week the cast will be removed and cuddles will be back on the top of the agenda!!

Nice, Allison. Now Micca is hacking away trying to catch his breath and catsphiddle is forced to look after him. Take care of each other, guys. I too am interested in how a cast on your leg interferes with hugs. Must be some strange Brit thing.

Blessings, Khatt and Micca- May you both mend soon! Now we know where the Mudcat Recovery Ward Headquarters should be!

I finally found a joke- not that it's close to the brilliance above me. But for what it's worth:

Shakespeare and Burns arrive together at the Pearly Gates.
Peter informs them there is room in heaven for only one more poet, and
the way it will be decided which goes in is by a contest to see who can
create the more ingenious four-line stanza using the word Timbuctoo.
The Bard of Avon is first off the mark:


"I took a walk along the shore
And heard the mighty ocean roar.
Forsooth, a ship hove into view,
Bound methought for Timbuctoo"


Burns hadn't heard of a place called Timbuctoo, but his ribald
imagination came to his rescue in heaven as it had done so many times on
earth:


"Tim and I a-camping went.
We spied three lassie in a tent.
Since they were three and we were two,
I bucked one and Tim bucked two."

coming late to this thread but wanted to say I am there with ya Khatt! I went thru this over the summer and it is no fun whatsoever. It's a long road getting all your normal motion back but take it slow and you should be fine. I am not 100% yet after my fall and broken leg but mostly there! Hopefully by spring I'll be doing everything I used to...so hang in there and know there will be an end to the slow process of healing.

Tip--drink comfrey tea (helps bones heal) and hold off on taking calcium for a few more weeks...

Im feeling well, the cast is a lot inconvenient. Micca still has a bad cold and cough and consequently we have the heating on all day which is good for him but not for me!!

Micca dotes, and Khatt denotes
Her pleasure at his doing so
Physio terrorists loom
Lock your room.

Coddled eggs, and broken legs
And humping on the stairway
Micca looks after thee
Doesn't he!

Watch out for that itch Khatt Dear, and don't get too overconfident with bumping up & down the stairs *grin* Recommend Hot Toddies for both, with or without a cold! Positive thoughts...

Beware being 'coddled', I happen to have a lovely set of 'coddlers' & this involves being screwed.....

Frogs sounding as if they have tonsilitis can be a dangerous thing. Last saturday night the frogs in our pond were groaning. On Sunday the pond was full of frog spawn. They're groaning again tonight..... Now I know Micca has always had a briliant voice but......

He does indeed. He managed to get the cold walking between the hospital and home everyday to see me in the freezing cold. Can't really deliver too many hugs to him though because my cast keeps getting in the way!

Hey!!! Jenn is an "occupational terrorist" ... and I expect she will enjoy that term.

Best from both of us, and hope you are up and about soon...but don't rush it. You are a wonderful person, and deserve to be coddled on a regular basis...and remind Micca of that in the unlikely event he forgets.

One of my friends phoned the local pizza delivery place to order me a desert called Hanky Panky she said I wouldn't be able to have any real 'fun' for a while and the take away place refused to deliver it to the hospital!!

When I had a broken leg (many years ago) my mother made me eat lots of figs. They're supposed to be high in calcium. I liked the taste okay but those little crunchy seeds were offputting. We compromised on fig bars (Fig Newtons are a big brand over here in the U.S.). Fig Info.

Eat healthy, relax at home, and don't run on the stairs now that the rail is up!
