Wow been away for a long time, not a nice thing to find from an old colleague and fellow GWX beta tester. Still I am hopeful for you and wish you the best of luck Dowly.
I broke my ankle back in November 2008 and had to submit to surgery and then nearly 4 months of crutches and physiotherapy. Lesson, do not bicycle the first frosty night of the year.
Nice to see some other familiar faces here too.
Anyway get better soon.
