Hours of endless fun can be had with homonyms, you know? Ok, maybe not.
Well, today was the day! Six weeks after I left hospital having undergone surgery on the bust tendon in my left knee I was back at the hospital.....and they took the bloody cast off at last!! Hurrah!!!!
Oh, hello again scratching, hello again sleeping in my bed (as opposed to on top of it with my leg raised on a beanbag) and, most fantastically of all, hello again bathing! Showers are fair enough but nothing beats a long soak, as the tall alcoholic once boasted.
Sadly, I can't bend my knee at all and am still wobbly on my feet so I still have to use crutches. Also, the real pain begins now with endless physiotherapy.....but I'm bipedal again!

(re the knitting - wrong image: you have to finish your row before you cast off. . .)
yipee for you! hope you put half a bucket of Radox in to celebrate
does this mean you now have one of those legs that's all thin and looks out of proportion to the other?
what are you going to do with the cast off cast? you could use it as a planter for herbs on your windowsill perhaps, or an unusual wrapping for a long thing present, or spray it gun metal silver and have it as an object d'art in your home, or send it to Blue Peter and they could slice it up thinly and make a Wembley Stadium arch out of it. . .
(I'm quite jealous really - the only bone I've ever broken is a knuckle and I didn't get a cast for that)
good luck with the physio
Great. To celebrate, let's go out and get legless.
BGT
That should make it easier to get to the Pub!
I'm happy for you and wish you marry scratching.
ILTV,
Ok, you caught me out. I know tap all about knitting (except for the knitting together of two bits of snapped tendon). Fash'n'rash'na Google images!
As to uses for the cast off cast, the planter was quite an inspired idea - mushrooms had already begun to grow on the inside. Said cast-off's actual fate was to be tossed aside into the bin. Ain't that always the way. You work tirelessly for someone, support them, help ease their pain and what happens?
BGT and Fish,
I sense a common theme.....and "yes", this weekend shall be legless time!
Well, we were both retorical!
you didn't knit that lovely bobble cap you're sporting then? would you like a new one for xmas?
*casts on*
Ooh I say, yes please! Rather!!!
Since youre full of energy now, with your cast off, beer in one hand and singing Fuck you Mr. Bush,
it seems the right time to tell you, YOU have been tagged.
Check out my blog for further info.
Dont look at me like that, its not like this is my idea. All I want is for you to suffer as much as I did.
Cripes! That sounds ominous. I shall visit forthwith.
Welcome back to the land of the upright, big boy! When do you start the charity walk to Orkney?
