And now what did you do TODAY?

[MexicanDragon]

Didn't have yellow. Orange it is!

4 weeks. Fun fun.

**BRENT**

[skullguise]

Orange is the new yellow......

 

What a great kid, and a lovely smile....

[Torpedo]

^ Indeed. Four weeks is nothing, they'll fly.

Great cast, Zoe. Shouldn't slow her down at all, Brent. Granddaughter had a pink one for wrist, and was hit of class, and the ballet recital.

Great pics.

[Dreadhead]

Great pics. Better cast now than permanent pain later.

[jpelg]

Yes, great pics indeed. You will all look back in a year & laugh.

[acidbasement]

Nice cast.  I seem to recall hearing (from a reputable source) that fracturing bones as a child is associated with better mental health and fewer phobias as a teenager and adult.

 

I just got my second root canal in as many weeks.  Hooray for employer-paid dental coverage!

[n_maher]

Yes, great pics indeed. You will all look back in a year & laugh.

This!

[blessingx]

Great pics.

Also I miss Wendy's.

[guzziguy]

Also this.

Wait.  Isn't dental work covered under Canada's universal heath care system?

[Salt Peanuts]

This again.

 

I may have to ask for an orange cast if I ever break anything.

Nope. Dentists and optometrists can't bill the government for their services. Some legit medical things aren't covered either, like ambulance rides and certain genetic and other tests. I don't really understand why certain things aren't covered, but to say the system is universal is not completely correct.

[Grahame]

Found out from the blood work / culture results that my knee, while still swollen is not infected (as far as they can tell) when I asked if would be better if it was infected (and thus providing a cause for the swelling) I was told that infected knee's are not doctor recommended.

So now I'm about to subject it to 10+ hours of transatlantic flight. What could possibly go wrong? I have an MRI booked on my return, so we'll see what they say - maybe "non specific inflammation" if it's a repeat of 20 years ago (same symptoms/onset - but no root cause - resolved itself over 6 months)

Weather on journey down to SFO was glorious.

Brother in Law said weather in UK was cold, wet and crap. No change there then

Now "enjoying" obligatory overpriced generic airport fare.

I'm Back in two weeks. Joanne may act as my chauffeur, then spend more time with her elderly mother, returning later. It's not like she has a job to rush back to now...

[Dusty Chalk]

Best wishes!  Here's to hoping that air travel does not cause any undue complications.

[Salt Peanuts]

Good luck on the air travel!

[skullguise]

Good luck in travels and knees!

[Grahame]

Thx, and extra legroom FTW. Also wimped out and requested wheelchair service at LHR.

[mikeymad]

have fun in the Mutterland  (oh wait, that is not right)

[agile_one]

Safe journey, Graham and Joanne. Hope the knee isn't too troublesome.

[Salt Peanuts]

Also wimped out and requested wheelchair service at LHR.

Better safe than sorry.

[Voltron]

Bon voyage, gimpy.  

[Augsburger]

Safe journey, and if it hurts when you do something then don't do that.    No worries, I will email you my bill for that advice.

[CarlSeibert]

At the strike of midnight -first birthday present..

[shellylh]

[blessingx]

Good luck Grahame. Last day in Monterey here so obligatory aquarium photos.
