Not been on here a lot recently (for obvious reasons), but felt ready for an update. I am now officially a kidney dialysis patient. The sepsis generated within the plaster cast on the original broken leg broke the back of my one "used but previously servicable" kidney. The other was rendered useless after an attack of kidney stones was obliterated by ultrasound 20 years ago.
I am, therefore, still held prisoner in Basildon hospital whilst they reduce water accumulation daily and work out how to fit more permanent attachment lines. I'd tell you the tale of the first botched attempt but it might be too much for some... (should have gone to Speedflow...).
Meanwhile my ever grateful thanks to the Z Club (via Steve Burns and committee) for the recent gift of a Kindle to help pass the time lying here doing not a lot. Much appreciated - it has been really nice to receive the best wishes of so many members even though I can't help most with the required parts.
I'll let you know when the situation improves and they let me free...
