Guardians of The Lambsfoot!

What awesome people within the Guardians.
All the care shown toward Jack.

Now that Jack has mentioned it, falling is terrible for anyone and it happens to everyone of all ages.

People seem to relate falling just to the elderly.
Seeing Jack fall was like it was in slow motion - bloody horrible seeing our Pal go down, but he took it like a champ and our Jack is a bit of a “tough bugger”
Hope each day it gets better Jack.

Have a great day everyone 😍

I am worried that the impact may have moved, or dislodged the steel rod :(

That's the word.
Or "wince", maybe.

There, that's settled.

I got the car serviced yesterday. It was much less than I'd feared, even though I went along with a possibly slightly early change of synthetic oil. Mustn't give a car anything to resent as Winter approaches.

Sorry Steve, I think I may have only mentioned it in passing. York Railway Station has an attractive old footbridge, crossing over the tracks. Unfortunately, while descending it, and going round a corner, with Duncan behind me, my left foot slipped off the edge of one of the steps. The rucsac I was carrying further threw me off balance, and I went flying. Most of the impact was on the corner of one of the other steps, which I hit with my right knee just below my patella. While I suffered other minor injuries, and damaged the screen of my phone, my right knee swelled up immediately. I broke my right tibia 22 years ago, and it has a steel rod inside the tibia, which runs all the way to the tip of my patella. I am worried that the impact may have moved, or dislodged the steel rod :( Thanks

We all should have gotten the extended warranty on our body parts.😱

Yeah, I'm not sure what'll happen if there's an issue with it. I had the rod put in when I broke my tibia in 2002. A few years later, I had the screws removed, but they said taking the steel rod out would involve extensive surgery, put me back on crutches, and leave my leg susceptible to breaking again. None of that sounds very convenient 🙄 Good luck with the car Jer, nice Lamb there 👍

Improper use may void the warranty though 😁👍

Wow, what a pair of beauties! 😎 Nice pic Bob 😊👍

The last few times I've been to the hospital, I've been impressed by the low waiting times. It's very different today. I queued to book in, and since then, I've been sat in a small waiting room, on an uncomfortable seat, with about 20 other people, for 2 1/2 hours, with no sign of anything happening at all ☹️

And even minor falls can have devastating consequences. When my wife took a fall in the bathroom last year, she broke her right femur (clean break, complete separation of the two halves), her left tibia just above the ankle, and another bone in her ankle. Now she sports a titanium rod in her right femur and a large plate with 12 screws in her left ankle/tibia. Airport security will be interesting.
