But seriously get well soon so that you have one good foot to stand on and one good foot to stick up someone's backside to get you through engineering!

PS my father in law had the same op about two months ago now and it doesn't sound anywhere near as succesful. Think his surgeon only drove a Merc! - lol But then Dad-Law is nearly pushing 80 and wants to be able to keep on lawn bowling! |
It's great to be back Steve. Your right about the steel I'm now carrying. I am stapled down the sternum, have a titanium right shoulder and now a titanium right knee. I reckon I'll throw out some sparks when they eventually put me in the furnace.
I had to go into hospital for a Pre-Op lecture a week before they did the deed. They handed round the prothesis which is the same as what they are putting into the knee. I couln't belive the weight of the femur insert portion. Would have gone close to a kilo. I shouldn't have much trouble getting the right foot to the floor down when I come around the tight right hander onto the main straight at Wakefiled. Can't wait. Thanks for you kind thoughts too pal. Everyone on this Forum hads been fantastic.
