OUCH!

Last week I had an operation on my left shin, a cancerous growth was removed. It left a hole the size of a 'Half Crown'  (or a 50p piece) it was about two coins deep. Recovery is doing quite well but I do have the 'off times'. Walking, Tai Chi & swimming are out of the question, & taking a bath or shower presents problems. I have been told that a minimum of two months will be needed before I can even think of getting back to normal (what ever that was). Now I spend my time reading, playing with pictures (when I can get on my laptop), & walking to keep the blood circulating, enough to encourage healing. Dressings every three days at my local surgery. May 1st. I have to go to Derby for a dressing check-up. Don't they trust my local surgery? I then will have to go to Burton-on-Trent 16th. May to see the surgeon for a report.

The good news is ......I still get to keep the leg
