It was quite a way to celebrate my 40th birthday NOT. :(

We had a holiday booked to Florida to visit the theme parks with the children (then aged 8 and 6) but had to cancel it. :(

I was pretty fit after about 3 months, but lifting was still out at that point. I got very bored not being allowed back to work for the next 3 months after that.
What a shame.:(
Did you get to the Florida theme parks eventually ?

I was in for a week :( The recovery time was learning to walk again and it was a long slow recovery.

When I first came out of hospital, I couldn't walk further than the end of our drive and back - it's about 20 yards long.

I wasn't allowed to sit. They loaned me a high "perching stool" and used the ironing board as my dinner table for a couple of weeks. I was also loaned a raised toilet seat, so I didn't have to get down so far to use the toilet. I used a garden kneeler to protect my knees if I was using a computer as I couldn't sit at a desk or table.

I was banned from lifting anything heavier than a milk bottle until I was signed off.

Don't have expectations of going straight back to work.


fighting fit now i hope?

Bit chilly here, but not too bad.
At least you got out and back safely. :)
Hope you stocked up on cheese while you had the chance.
Yes, all - or almost all - went well thank GOD. The new charger is charging though slower than a tort!! Don't know what on earth is wrong. :( Mind you, I tried it before buying it, as I thought: "We might get stuck." :rolleyes:

I bought LOTS of food, NUTELLA CHEEEEEEESE , :p and so on.

(The food not the tortoise speed charger).
Speak politely to it and it may improve its performance. ;)

Glad to hear you're all well.

Was obliged to leave home this morning when the charger of my cell phone wouldn't charge any more. Goodness, I froze to death! But I had no other choice. I bought a new charger, and rushed back home.

It began to rain with thunderstorms (as was expected) and it may snow tonight........brrrrrrr.

That sure doesn't sound like the picture I have in my mind of Jordan. Br-r-r-r!
