Well Chris, at least the hardest part is over, but there is still a long way to go for you both. I can only wish you two all the best and send a lot of good vibes from from downtown Germany to help in Jen's recovery. Please stay strong and this too, will pass. Please take care of her and yourself my friend....

Gute Besserung from Bamberg

she must not put her foot on the ground so to move about she has to grab the simmer frame an hop an all i can do is just guide her to make sure she wont fall over oh dear

When I broke my ankle and had a screw put in to hold the break together, they told me not to put my foot to the ground until I was told it was OK. This was repeated at the fracture clinic. After 3 months, the senior consultant at the clinic asked me how well I was walking. I said "I don't know, you told me not to put any weight on it" He replied "Yes, we say that, but most people don't take any notice". The result was that I had severely restricted movement in that ankle and had to have some (painful) physiotherapy for months, and I still can't lift my foot very far.
I had a similar conversation with the consultant a year after my accident: "Why is that screw still in your ankle?" "Because you haven't taken it out" "Well it's too late to remove it now, you'll have to live with it".
I did set off an airport metal detector once, in Kinpo airport, Korea, which was a bit scary.

I'm sure Jen will get better soon.

Chris, please explain as I'm innocent in these matters - just what do you mean by a 'knocking shop on payday' is that some type of drum workshop? :astonished:

He is suggesting that red lights will be illuminated outside a building when the factory workers get paid.

Thanks mate - for a moment I thought it might be something sinister - I'm reassured it's only a payday jolly ... !

I might have gone on a cultural survey once or twice - but purely for a solely intellectual evaluation of course! Have no recollection of such moments ... aah, it comes back to mind now - those wonderful museums!

Some of the "ladies" on display in the Reeperbahn belonged in a museum.

I agree! There were some that wouldn't look out of place in the (un)Natural History Museum! :smiling5: :smiling5:
