puff....puff....puff...puff

Heard you callin' Forno but it's hard yakka getting down the stairs on crutches and brace :)

(bet you can't guess how many phone calls I've missed).

Op went well....came home next day and the cheese and kisses has been taking good care of me. Sleeping is a pain in the butt because there's only one thing that should remain stiff all night under the blankets......and unfortunately for me, it's my leg at the moment :D.

Out of respect to this forum, I snuck in a little "Internet purchase" before I went into hospital knowing that it should arrive while I was sitting around home for the next few weeks.

As of this morning I am now the proud owner of a Soligor 1.7 Tele Converter and will create a new post telling all about it.

Thanks for thinking of me Forno :)

We wish you well Gaza.

The Soligor was a sneaky little purchase - Coldrain used to get good mileage out of his. I'd be keen to know your findings.

...but not as sneaky as I hoped :cool:
It was supposed to arrive during the day when the wife is out and about. It arrived this morning around 9:30 just before she left to pick up her dad from the airport.

Her speed to the door is a bit quicker than me at the moment.....so I got busted big time :D

Yes, it was Coldrain's previous threads that directed me to the Soligor.

See the Surgeon on Thursday for post-op check-up....then he gives the go-ahead for torture sessions......although he called them "physio" :o

Brace remains on when walking and sleeping for approx 6 weeks, to protect the new ligament graft. As it is my right leg, this also means I can't drive because of the brace.

Exercise bike at approx 4-6 weeks, gentle running (in straight line) in approx 12-16 weeks.....and hopefully sport (tennis) in about 6 months. Although , all of this will be at the discretion of the Physio and Dr.

A LONG ROAD
