Royal Berkshire enforced holiday.

Good luck Bryn, hope all goes well today.

[Bryn]

First on list. Should be up on my feet later today.

Tripped over a power cable last night and managed ti break the neck of my left femur. Full hip joint replacement scheduled for tomorrow. Damn it!

Did the very same last year while in Switzerland.
You shouldn't be in pain, but you've got to be patient I'm afraid.
All the very best Bryn

Got back from theatre around noon GMT.Tried to post but fell into deep sleep until an hour ago. Feeling fine thanks. Lots of physio to look forward to.

Again, many thanks to all for your kind thoughts.

I will find out in a few minutes.

[Dave2002]

I will find out in a few minutes.

I hope it's something tasty. Glad you're feeling OK. Good luck with the physio.

Lamb with stewbeans, with mixed veg. and long grain rice. Again, very fine for a prepared microwave meal meal.

Ee gads Bryn! How awful for you. Hope you'll be out sooner rather than later!

I am very sorry to hear about your accident. Do be patient after the operation, as you’ll find that there are so many ordinary things you can’t do.

All the best.

Indeed.Not helped by the fact that following a nasty RTC in the mid-'70s I have limited flexion and slight over-extension in my right knee.That was a contributory factor in my tumble on Tuesday night. However, with appropriate caution, I will still be able to lead a reasonably active life.

Bryn, what's the prognosis for resuming your driving job - or will you think about permanent retirement now? Glad the op went well and the food reasonable.

Driving seats in large vehicles tend to have a reasonable height to them. I am advised by the orthopaedic surgeon that it will be around 3 months before I can drive professionally again. By then I will be due my next annual PCV medical. I go to a medical osteopath for that, and will be guided by him and the DVLA.

Car driving presents more of a problem. I might have to buy sort of commercial vehicle with a higher driving seat.

Maybe you could take up tennis - http://www.retiremove.co.uk/andrew-castle-hip-op/

Or marathon running! Actualy Andrew Castle looked pretty good playing some while after his op.

Best wishes again. Glad it seems to be working out.
