I’ve been following you with huge interest WFD sorry to read that your markers are up and the PICC has to stay - I hope it is pollen … I have now had my Gallium scan, I had to wait 3 weeks for the drug to come into Australia, and the results are with my surgeon, as of yesterday morning. He will...
Thank you for replying WFD. What were the symptoms you had that led to the discovery that you had an infection? (I have assumed that’s what it is) what are you able to do at the moment with your knee as it is? Because I’ve had a THR left, a TKR left and a foot reconstruction left I’m not sure...

Wow Japan is stunning! I was only in Tokyo this time and I so wish I had longer and wasn’t working. Next...
:loveshwr:I’ve got to say @skiforever I think you’re doing bloody amazing!! :dancy:
If you turn your thinking around to all the things that you CAN do and focus less on the things that are more difficult I think you should be really really proud of yourself! A 3.5 mile canyon walk, diving...
@Kipper11 great to hear you’re doing so well! Good on you - it’s terrific to hear the positive recovery stories too. Thank you for sharing your story. I’m good and although I wish it would go faster (doesn’t everyone!) I’ve got lots of experience of orthopaedic surgical recoveries now so I know...
