A quickie ...

... to say that my lovely mate in physio has fitted me up with my elbow crutches! I hopefully won't need them all the time, but at least they're there for when I do.

We did have a giggle, though, with me hopping up and down the corridor, trying to get used to them! I can manage 2-sticks-forward-one-step-each-foot, but the opposing stick to foot had me very confused! I started off ok, but 2 steps later, I was in a pickle! Is that the fibro, I ask, or just me being a dippy bint? ;)
