I don't know when I get to chase the nurses around

That is how they get you on your feet again, which won't take long. When you can walk, you can chase nurses.

Good incentive. (Until you catch one).
THERE ARE OLD RIDERS, AND THERE ARE BOLD RIDERS, BUT THERE ARE DAMN FEW OLD AND BOLD RIDERS.

Keep the dirty side down.

With my luck, if I caught one it would end up being a male nurse...  :rofl

Is it like greyhounds, where they put them out to pasture if they catch the rabbit?  ;-* :think1

Or horses if they break a leg...   :think1
For the modern man who lives in the city, riding a bike might be one of the only ways to escape the humdrum monotony. To take off and ride. To be both at one with nature and one with the bike. To feel masculine. Adam Piggott

On the bright side - you'll be able to beg for forgiveness from the missus on your knees for a lot longer now!    :crackup

This is day 5 already and still struggling to get around
I manage to get up for a shower every day
And I know I am doing much better every day
But knowing where I should be up is hard to know
The nurses are in out before you release
With limited staff and Easter in the middle is not not helping
But they have now got in rehib ward
Fri Sat Sun & Monday so far

Well I have new knee's
Robyn had to drop me off at 6.15
I went into Theatre at 8.25
I woke up in recovery at 11.15
Feel great
No pain so far
But wait till tomorrow it might be a different story
Keeping me in ICU overnight
Then I will go to my ward tomorrow
Create news Leo, just keep up the exercises.
