Well, im in a fair bit of pain still, my left femur has now got 4 nice holes through it where 4 nice sized bolts are holding a internal fixator in place. I also had a artificial bone graft which hurts a fair amount but the most painful thing is my tendons in and around my knee as they havent moved for such a long time are now being needed to be moved.

 

I am very pleased that the op went as well as it should of. I will be in a cast for about 3/4 months that is removable when my leg is in a horizontal posistion and im not allowed to bend or put any weight through my left leg for about 4 weeks, so that will be fun then.

 

Needless to say you guys are fookin ace, thanks to all of the support that you all gave and the phonecalls of best wishes. Thanks to Tarks for relaying all the info, Cos for the live updates and all to those who visited, It really does mean a lot, thanks guys! :D

 

I wont be driving for about 3 weeks (at least) but will hopefully get a mids meet sorted for the end of November somewhere.

 

Cheers again guys
