Wow you did not stay in hossie long! Presumably you passed all the tests with the physio before they turfed you out! Go careful for the next few days. Have you an appointment with a physio in the pipeline?
I wish you all the very best

If you can lay down at night knowing in your heart that you made someone's day just a little bit better, you know you had a good day.0 -
I'm with Elna in the 'well impressed' forum, Gray.
Rest and exercises from now on, I guess.
Please keep us up to date with your progress and don't try to....er....run before you can walk?
Good luck.If at first you don't succeed, then skydiving definitely isn't for you.

Get you, brilliant news. How did you manage that? Can you do the stairs and everything? That is very impressive.
Hope the swelling comes down soon and the exercises are not too painful. I have my pre op tomorrow so I might be back to ask you lots of questions I forget to ask the doctor.
Keep up the good work xxx0 -
