He isn't the brightest, which is an understatement. He only wore his sling for 2 days. Due to the fact he is quite skinny, you can actually see where the break was and where the 2 bits of bone met almost crossed over each other. Aye. I've got an exercise sheet I have to follow so that the bone heals/fuses the correct way. The sling's staying on as long as poss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westbow Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 Actually did a double windmill with my arms yesterday and managed to stay on my feet. Compacted snow under fresh snow is treacherous. Taken to walking like a skater over icey bits now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She had a bad fall a few years ago but these give her a lot of confidence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dad is 71 and has had 2 hip replacements and feels confident going out walking each day with these on. They’ve been a godsend the last 10 days.

The young girl reporter done it to end her piece and had me and Mrs B burst out laughing, good on her. I did think about posting it at the time.
