    Thanks for the advice on lifting my leg. I’ve just found a long piece of elastic bandage. Hooked under my foot, it’s just the thing to help with the lift.

    I have very good support. My partner is retired which helps and my adult son lives about 30 minutes away in London. I have my Kindle loaded up with plenty of books and Netflix at the ready!!
