Am pleased to be able to advise all that I had a text from Mick this morning and that his procedure has gone well but he does have quite a bit of pain.  The 'physioterrorist' has arrived to drag him from his bed and get him moving again.  No doubt he will enjoy that!!
Will let you know of any further developments

Good for Mick and I do hope he gives the  'physioterrorist'  all she/he deserves. I think they all are just sadists and enjoy the patients suffereing

I'm sure he will!

First walk down the hallway this morning with help of Zimmer frame.
Physio thinks I'll be better off with a couple of crutches so we'll be trying those later

  make sure you get the crutches with the go faster stripes on them they are far better. Zimmer frames should be banned I failed my test on them 3 times  (once for parking and twice for speeding)

Don't forget the parachute for when you attempt your first flight of stairs!

Happy landings, Mick.

If your tackling  stairs with crutches you better dig out one of your old bike helmets.

Just keep persevering, good luck.

Just had a quick chat to Mick, he is clearly drugged up to the eyeballs as he sounded quite cheery 
After his zimmer session he had a go on crutches this afternoon which, despite the screams, went well.  The surgeons are happy with the way it has all gone and he is hoping to be home on Saturday.  I have suggested that in his drugged induced, pain free, euphoria, it may not be the best time to go putting posts all round the forum, would certainly keep the rest of the mods busy though 

The upshot is, it all went as planned and he is doing well 

[Chris in Prague]

Very good news; many thanks for the update. Wishing him a speedy recovery.

Mick manages to do that without the Drugs

Just had a quick chat with Mick and he is now back in his own house with lots of walking aids and suitable medication 
He is understandably in some discomfort and a bit worn out presumably after his exertions with the physioterrorist 

Just a request though, Please Do Not Disturb, he is off to his bed for the evening so no phone calls until tomorrow please, thanks all.

Hi All,

I just wanted to say a huge 'THANK YOU' to everyone on the forum for their support and humour during my op. The support I shall wear at all times, but some of the humour will have to be severely dealt with
It says a lot about this great forum that, although most of us have never met, we all rally round each other at such times. What a great set of peops

I did not realise you and Mick were doing the London Marathon Jon 

Are you running for the "Home for the Bemused and Bewildered Charity" perhaps?     

cheers John.
