Hi Bob.
Same thing happened to me in London about three years ago now. The worst thing was that it went undiagnosed for three months. Has x-rays in London, nothing broken so they sent me back to the hotel with codeine and crutches. Got back to NZ went the doc and it assumed I had “nana’s knee”. So it wasn’t until the leg collapsed on me again that something was done about. You were lucky to get fixed immediately.
There were some funny highlights before I had surgery and the most notable going to Hanmer Springs and damn lower part of the leg wanted to flaot off by itself.
Anyway due to my delayed surgery all the muscle is wssted and it still plays – I think marathons are a thing of the past.
I now hope you are mended and enjoying the ways of wine again.

Cheers
Chris

If you are still having trouble with the shower Bob, Shorty says she can come up and give you a good licking. Not up to a 3am sponge bath by a night nurse I know but for some reason she loves to lick skin too ? Get well soon mate.

Thanks Ross, less said about the flaming rubbish bin the better. I look forward to balancing the ledger this Sunday.

I hope you getting better and will soon be able to rally behind the tennis net again. The last time I saw you legless, you’re foot was stuck in a waste paper basket on fire.
Of course we can wager on Saturday’s game, as I should have claimed an extra bottle for South Africa beating New Zealand in the Confederations Cup anyway.
Hope the wheelchair doesn’t slow you down too much, get well soon.

Well this will surely test the theory that wine ails all woes and certainly added to the flowery language, Monsieur Campbell I am shocked with that! You should have known better than to try and do that niggly little changing spa filter pre dinner and good glass of wine, that’ll teah ya Might have been better result post dinner and several bottles of wine- limbers you up and makes you like ballet dancer so they say- but what would I know on that one. Anyway, hope you recover quickly and that you are well taken care of, but with Marion on that I have no doubt! See you soon. Love the photo

Well, bugger me Bob, a sight for sore eyes. Notice there are two empty glasses on the shelf besides the one in the hand, suppose you are waiting for the waitress, look in the eye says you are? Did you manage to get the filter changed or would you like me to come around and do for you? Just need to ensure it is dry and hose is in it’s proper place ?
Good luck for a speedy recovery, I am off to the States tomorrow but will come around when I get back to share a glass or two.
Get well and enjoy the pampering. Marty and Sue.

Geez Bob

You sure know how to make a scene and then post a good story as well! Just as well that you know an orthopaedic surgeon in high places, otherwise you’d really be in the crap!!! F**K*N hospitals – they never cease to amaze me how wrong they can get things sometimes. Here’s to a speady recovery.

PS Nice glass!

The worst part about my temporary hadicap is the potential (but temporary) drop in my golf handicap.
