That is very sad, but I'm glad he has you to help him.
From what you have said he seems to have quite a fulfilling life!
He does. And I'm really glad to see that CarolM liked this quote after the loss of her tortoise. Loving a tortoise is a different kind of love. They become a part of you.

I told her about it as it is a consequence of the accident, but I have to see my GP to be referred for any treatment.
Goodness knows how long that will take.:rolleyes:
But I managed to wear shoes and I did drive to the hospital!!!:)
Had a few twinges in my leg and foot en route but got there and back in one piece!
The physio advised me to only do short trips at the moment.
I'm happy to do that and I'll be able to do my own shopping again!!
Independence here I come!!!
I think that's the worst thing about being off your feet. I like doing my own shopping. I save money which gets my animals more. Yes, I'm what's called animal poor.

It's not cold out there, but it's windy, windy, WINDY!!!! So I took care of the animals and came back in the house. Now I have to figure out something to do that will keep me from feeling guilty about not doing housework!

The physio was quite pleased with my progress and has added some more exercises to build up strength as well as flexibility, but again stressed I wouldn't get 100% mobility back.
That's OK though I'll settle for 99.5%!:)
You'll get the 99.5%. It just takes time. You'll do swimmingly.

I did some yesterday. Does that count? And you're offering moral support to the CDR. That counts big time.

Nos da from me too.
Physio day tomorrow.
The broken leg is pretty good, the knee of the other one - agony!
I was going to drive myself for the first time since January but a bit worried the knee may lock.
I wonder is she can do physio on both?:)
Good evening Lyn.

Glad to know that your broken leg is better, but sorry knee of the other leg is not all that well.

Wishes to get well soon.

I wish we had sunshine. It’s cold wet and miserable here. I know. The garden needs the rain, but it doesn’t make it pleasant to go out!
Hi Linda hope you are well.

Sorry to know it's cold back there. It's nice and warm here. Temperature reached 24 degrees C today. Went out for a nice walk in the sun, as a little later on it will become too hot to walk in the sun.
