    I got to use a hydrotherapy pool last year which was very cool ....
    Oh, BTW, going through airport security will be an interesting experience - I now just up-front tell them that I have an artificial hip.

    One of our kids has a Bonebridge hearing aid imbedded in his head/skull, we have a special plastic card to show at airports etc to explain why he sets off the metal detectors.
    The security people still look at him suspiciously, obvously a terrorist him being a 16 year old Aboriginal kid??

    I am told that if you have a pacemaker every time you have an orgasm your garage doors open.

    My 85 yr mother has a pacemaker,she hasn't mentioned any issues with the garage door.

    She does have issues with which light switch operates which lights,seems someone tampers with the wiring every so often

    I asked my surgeon about that - since they're easily forged they're not going to save you from a patdown.

    That probably accounts for why my garage door hinges are rusted solid.


    Hang about. I don't have a pacemaker.

    Greese and oil change

    Stainless steel plate and 6 screws in my shoulder come out next week. Monday RMH or Wednesday St V pvt? Choices!

    I broke a screw in my leg last week- Minor bugger. The break in my tibia ( big bone below your and my knee) is held apart by a steel plate outside the bone. Seems to be a issue which broke the screw. Metal fatigue. Bones move and are tougher it seems. Removing that as well to put bone on bone for rebuild to continue. Have to cut a little bit of the fibula to co ordinate everything ( little bone below our knee)

    Nice Surgeon booked for Wednesday was happy to suggest Melb Marathon 2020 is a good possibility for me. He felt any distance past the front door insane . My hands are sore from cheering rather than my feet sore from running for 2019 Melb M I jumped back on crutches after the race on Sunday where I did not run and will be on them for a extra 4 weeks.

    Running 2020 planning via pool already in progress. The minor pain a re broken leg gave is about 1% of a smashed pelvis which is well reinforced now. Life is good.

    Good onyer Diver. Sounds like two paces forward & one back at the mo but you'll get there.




    My 85 yr mother has a pacemaker,she hasn't mentioned any issues with the garage door.
