just been signed off by the surgeon who fused my ankle.
85% successful fusion so far, the rest will strengthen with use.
green light to ride my bike, green light to learn to walk again.

Great news Ton. Walking again after a long absense and without crutches can make you feel almost euphoric. I had 10 months of no walking and when i got the green light i went for a stroll round Leeds city centre and it felt like freedom.
Happy learning to walk again.

Nice one! 😀 Good feeling, isn't it, knowing you're better off and you made the right choice?

I had surgery on my shoulder nearly 3 months ago, after 3 months umming and ahhing about surgery/not surgery. I can say now it was 100% the right thing to do. It works way better than it did before and hurts way less.

best feeling is knowing it has knitted. I was shitting myself thinking it had not worked. surgeon said, with the fusion working, and the metalwork, it is stronger than it was before, just a lot less flexible.

onwards and upwards.

oh, and a touring weekend is in the pipeline, just watch this space.
