No Progress Progress

The news is not good as the bone graft has not taken - no bone union.
How hard is it to get back on my feet?
I was very annoyed with the surgeon who acted like a blind deer.
He told me, a non drinker and non smoker, to stop smoking and drinking.
I would love to have told him "I haven't smoked an orthopaedic specialist before but could start with you!"

I tried walking without the boot but it is too painful. I have ramped my cycling up to 15 minutes a day (I can hear the chuckles :)) and I am doing more swimming pool work. In 8 weeks I do another xray and if there is no improvement I need another bone graft.

The old white M5 20/20 came back from a friend who said it was great and helped his elbow recover. He is now back on his DF.

I have checked out the Performer trikes as they are under AU$1500. They do look like a good commuter and although the cheap end good value. I like the 700c rear wheel model and would get a 36 spoke wheel for added strength.
