Stick to the plan Mike use me as an example of what can happen if you don't.

Good work, Mike - keep it up.

Time sure flies when you're having fun! Can't quite believe it's 3 weeks for me tomorrow too!

I know, Ruby - compared to how you were before the surgery and the fight you went through, I'm really glad about where you are now.

I overdone it yesterday though, Hern. I thought it would be a good idea to go into town for a couple of hours.... Boy, was that a mistake! I ache all over today. Haven't really moved much as everything hurts!

Prime example there peeps, of trying to do too much, too soon!

Glad to hear you are all doing great! Keep it up  ;D

We all overdo it, ruby - just part of the recuperation. It comes from all sorts of places - the enforced inactivity before, the great possibilities now that the pain is clearing up, our shy and reserved personalities. Ice, rest, elevate and you still want to move when you can, just avoid the pain. You'll be good in no time.

We want you there too, Anna. Keep up the good fight, you'll be there.

Thanks Hern. Maybe one day  :)

The call of retail therapy Ruby!! Have a good rest, try next time for going for just an hour:)
Been exhausted myself today from doing "new things" went to bed at 8pm!! :)

You wouldn't catch me overdoing it.  ::) Trouble is you feel good so you do a bit more, you feel bad so you rest. Then you feel good again and forget how you felt last time you over did it. so you overdo it again.
But hopefully each time you do over do it as long as you don't take it to extremes, it will take more to over do it next time. If you get my drift.

Jas (Mr too much too soon)

You crack me up Jas with your quips :) True words indeed!!

Back to work!  Well, kind of.
The last two days, I've been back supervising my son who works with me- just sitting in an easy chair and occasionaly getting up to advise on some floor laying work.
It feels good to have something else to think about and it beats daytime TV- I never realised it was that bad.
How many different firms of accident lawyers do we have in this country? Must be three figures!

Yeah, I'm bored rigid, have watched all Sorts of rubbish on net flicks. Still in quarantine with the lergy.  Good for you, Mike, back to life in the great outdoors. Don't over do it tho!

Anyone else dying to get back into the land of the living??? I don't think I've ever been this bored as I have been this week! x

It seems to me like the world stopped for a few weeks for the surgery, but when I've stepped back in, nothing's changed!
One of the best things was getting out of the van at the end of the day and not having to stretch and loosen up my arthritic hip.
No limping into the house and  wondering what to do about it. It feels like a totally fresh start- long may it continue.

That's great Mike, your new beginning has begun.

Great news Mike! You are doing well :)
Wish you better Sal
Ruby, am sure you`ll feel good again soon :)

Congrats, Mike - one of many improvements coming.

Good on ya Mike! Glad to read you're improving so much!  ;D x
