Thanks Lilly, I was a little down and tired last night, it took 20 mins to hobble up the stairs to bed, but all has changed this morning after a good nights sleep, I am sure when the shoulder and hand injury recover I shall be even more mobile.

How do you have a bath/shower ? thats the next challange

keep all your tesco bags as they are very handy for covering up your pot (if you have one) - you can tie the handles nice and snugly round the top to keep the water out not too tight so as to cut off the circulation mind!

worked a treat for me for both my hand and my ankle.

bath is probably best so you can keep your foot up. or sit down in the bath and have a shower if possible.

a very uncomfortable and awkward time and also embarrassing at times! but you'll be ok.

get well soon gordon!

Dont think a tesco bag will be long enough, better get to tescos for some heavy duty bin bags

Thanks for your wish's and stay safe

Had a great day yesterday, didn't make it for the wheels, met a few people in the village who had a service in the Church Hall next door on Sunday morning and prayed for my speedy recovery. They are so great
Ross was watching Moto GP and had to turn the sound up as the village hall ajoins my house He is feeling a bit guilty now.

Following a night of pain I have inspected under the temp cast and discovered what a s*it job they have done. They have not looked at my foot after leaving A&E on Sat am and I have a blood sack on the top of my ankle approx 100mm x 50mm.

I am off to see the nurse at 8am them maybe MK General, I also have other reasons for never seeing that consultant ever again.

I did have a choice either Northampton or MK, I went to Northampton as Mr Cobb looked after Barry Sheene and many others when the GP was at Silverstone and I thought his apprentaces may be of a similar standard.

I had noticed recently that the air ambulance from Silverstone flies south after a major incident to either Stoke Mandaville or Oxford John Radcliffe, now I think I know why

Trouble with the JR is you have to put up with us lot in Oxford visiting, just like Chippy had to.

Hope they sort you out a bit better and make things a bit more comfortable for you.

Thanks

Sharon,
the service I got from you was the best and unfortunatley I thought this was normal but now realize it was exeptional,
Had to go to the Doc's yesterday as I discovered a rather large blood bubble just above the toes, they decided to leave it but all the Doc's came to have a look as they had never seen one so big !! God it hurts,I have pics

Many thanks for looking after me, your the best.

Will be back in the fracture clinic next Thursday am.

Cant thank you enough

Gordon XXX
