Boating yyfy. With the river flowing nicely after yesterday's rain we had a blast today. This would have been a frightening stretch with so much water in the past. Lots of practice and confidence meant riding a weir that written guides instruct you to avoid and I once thought impossible and a bit deadly was an utter scream. So good we did it twice

I'm walking again with no crutches. Been out of plaster for just over two weeks. Got a significant limp but physio helping no end. Back to work Monday after next.psyched.

How long do they reckon before you are back to full fitness.

Following on from the NNFN thread.

We heard last night from the people we house/dog sit for that Fizzy the Border terrier turned up last night! A full 11 days after she wondered off

Alcohol, drugs and sex obviously.
Puppies in a few months surely.

Reckon I'll be driving in a week. Not said about full fitness. Need to get power into the muscles but it's coming back rapidly. I'm off to center parcs in 8 weeks and the physio reckons I'll be pretty much fine by then to go in pool, on slides etc. Might give badminton a miss.

And on a Swan.

Can't believe the dog turned up! The owners must be so happy - you must be pretty pleased too

8 weeks before you can swim I would have thought that you would be ok to do that now. What about climbing.
I managed my first shower in 3 weeks this morning as I'm allowed to take the air boot off and gently weight bear. Consultant reckoned 6 to 12 months to get back to full strength

Scouse D · February 14, 2016, 05:03:44 pm

Dunno webbo, I reckon they have no way of knowing for sure. My progress has surprised the physio. I'm going to the foundry this week to do a bit of toproping to get some idea. Every day I hammer the exercises but it is paying off.

Double yyfy
Decides to try driving. Felt totally fine ie zero pain and can emergency stop with no issue. Yyfy

Drive to burbage to 'have a look'. Had a painful potter in trainers then decided to squeeze on a rockboot. After a nervy few minutes started to understand what my foot could and couldn't do. Soloed route 3 and 20ft crack. Felt like crying I was so happy. Yyfy

Had awesome day at Neath Abbey today, so good to be out in the sun, love this spot, and only 90 min from my house to the boulders.

That VDiff solo was one of the nerviest things I've witnessed but a glorious moment when you topped it out. It'd been a last minute decision to head there but well worth it to see the psyche pushing through the pain and the joy such a simple thing can bring.

My highlight of managing to go round with the vac is not quite in the same league.

And it seems that my last problem of the day was a FA!
