I posted this elsewhere but it got absolutely zero appreciation.

Perhaps it might get at least a small nod of approval here.

Beautiful and haunting at the same time Tom. Where do you find this stuff?

Great scoring off the whites Ralph. 👏👏👏

Asked the question can I fly ? Answer was yes. Just as well as I'm off to Malta on 29th Trev 🤣

Walking unaided atm although with a bit of a limp. Tried the stairs and managed that.

All good news Kev but what a bummer to get an odd ball infection like that.

I hope Joo is mollycoddling you.

Indeed Tom right out of the blue, bit of a shock. Joo looking after me a treat.

Hospital appointment this morning. Happy with everything, gave me some physio moves. Infection numbers down to 50. Stitches removed. Got to go back in 6 weeks.

How long are you liable to be laid up Kev?

I hope you lot are going to take advantage of the weather forecast the next 2 weeks, looking ideal for  knock.

The great retirement adventure. Loving it.

Being back home  is a tonic in itself. Nice to not be woken up several times in the night for treatment.

6-8 weeks recovery now starting with a physio appointment on Thursday.

Hi all been in hospital for the last week, so unable to access the forum from there. Turned out my hand was the least of my worries. On Sunday my knee became swollen and on Monday I was admitin to hospital. The diagnosis was septic arthritis, requiring surgery to clean out the knee. Normal infection numbers are 1-4, mine was 251. Was supposed to come home on Thursday but numbers still too high. Today they decided all was good and now I'm home.

I can't see any sign of a bite Ralph although I did think of that. Will try and get the swelling down today, if no joy will get it seen to. Don't think I strained it playing golf. Sure I would have felt something. The swelling came overnight.

Bad news for me from the golf. Started to get a high temperature half way round which ibuprofen helped with and finished the round.

However another problem raised it's head which we all dread. No idea what happened but my hand started swelling. Can't move my fingers and it's sore as hell. more ice on it today to try and reduce the swelling.

Can't see it bein any better for my Thursday tee time 😪
