Legless.......

[garyhiggins]

Well not quite anymore , the medical people let me have my shiny new leg yesterday. I am allowed to put it on, but not yet to try walking without the physios watching to make sur.e I don't do anything stupid. It is going to be a long and (hopefully) mostly upright process, but at least now, if I don't move, I look relatively normal .

Regards, Gary.

Thanks Andrew, I am looking forward too it, especially since the great thief of all things biscuit does such a great job of organising it. It's a shame you can't make it to Figureworld, you'ld like it. See you in November,

Best wishes, Gary.

Thanks Ralph, it's not actually bionic, but it does have a habit of flicking up and kicking me in the backside . I'll just have to train it not to ..

Hi Gary " relatively normal " Higgins

No stopping you now then .....you just make sure you listen to the docs, physio , etc ...and no trying to impress the ladies by polishing your leg ....

See you at FW

Hi Gary,
Positive news mate. I bet you got them to sculpt a dragons foot or something on the end . Anyway better odds now, with my luck I could never beat a one legged man in an arse kicking competition. See you at FW mate.
Does that mean I can borrow the chariot to do my Brian Potter impression!
cheers

Good luck with the new leg Gary, I hope you quickly adapt to it and you're soon running about like a young gazelle. Although initially it might be more like a newborn giraffe. ☺

Excellent news Gary!

Did you have any difficulty getting it off the sprue?

Wishing you well with the physio

It's the polishing bit that I really like, and there's one gorgeous brunette who doesn't know where to stop

Thanks Richie, but no one is
playing with my new chariot (assuming I've got it by then ) .
I did make sure the surgeon did a good job of resculpting the stump (in between propositioning the anesthetist)

Thanks Rich, no trouble getting it off the sprue but they couldn't stick it on with airfix cement so I'm having to rely on latex .mmm
