That’s a nuisance about the mobility. Does the plate impede movement.? I am sure one of our roomies in the USA is a physio, but I can’t remember who. They might be able to explain
The physio seemed to think it would and apparently the bone mass will thicken around injuries - not necessarily where you want it to.
The ligaments and muscles were also stretched and damaged but hopefully in time they will become stronger and shrink back.
My ankle and foot have definitely changed shape.
But I'll persevere with the exercises and time will tell.

I don’t Facebook anymore.... I don’t even miss it [emoji4]
But I would miss y’all if I couldn’t log on here... hmmm

We’re in the same canoe - i have never FB’d. Luckily TFO is the primary with FB being the back-up Alternate Command Post

Hello everyone, haven't been feeling well. Trying to shake this infection. New antibiotics are not agreeing with me.
Tried yesterday and today to upload a photo of Opo but it won't upload. I will try later
Sorry to hear you are still being plagued by that infection Ray.
Hope it won't be too long before you are feeling better.

Thanks... My tortoise garden is really coming along! For me, it’s a huge accomplishment! On one hand, I can’t wait to get Toretto moved out because I’ll know he will love it... on the other, I’ll be a nervous wreck with the change for a few weeks I imagine... Lol! Once he is outside, I will convert his big indoor enclosure to a “double decker” and Pickles and Crusher will get an upgrade . They have really grown a lot too.

I’m feeling fine! It’s very difficult for me to limit my activities but I really do try to be aware.. I’m too impatient for setbacks! Now days, the modernization of procedures is amazing and everything is so much less invasive.
It's easy to forget you can't carry on as normal, but take your time and you'll get there.
Can't wait to see the pics (of the tort garden not your op!)

Good Morning and Happy Friday All!

A little blast of Florida sunrise for you all - complete with palm trees.

Gorgeous! I have a great love for Florida!! I got hooked on deep sea fishing there when my daughter was small. We took the kids to a club med resort in sand piper bay a few years back and it was a wonderful vacation too. Beautiful state. I’m envious of your get-a-way!! I’m going to have to take my canoe around our shallows here and get a look at the aquatic life soon.. no where near as interesting but it will pass a few hours!

So I’m taking the plunge and getting my house painted.
Here are the colors I have decided on
The blue is going to be the body of the house and the white will be the trim

That's close to the color of my house. I want the little aluminum strip around the windows to be black, then I want a maroon door with a brass kickplate.

I think OUR problem, those of us Stateside, is that those other guys (Yvonne snickers and points across the Atlantic behind her hand) are up and posting while we are down and sleeping.
Lol, I could say the same from this side as well. What I do is, is read through the posts and the ones that catch my attention particularly I respond to otherwise I like the posts to indicate that I have read it and acknowledge your comment.

I actually remember that one. Too cute.
We used to sing it whenever we moved. My Dad used to move towns every 5 years and we always drove by car. That was one of the songs we used to sing to entertain ourselves on the long trips. But we used green bottles instead of turtles and they were on a wall.:D:D
