Hi Tinkerbell,

Sorry to hear about your troubles, but don't worry too much about the ankle. I know it sounds drastic, but to have the joint surgically fused will make it stable and pain-free.

My friend had this same op, and was very worried, but he's really chuffed with the results, and walks without a limp, now - although it took a few weeks practice.

The only problem might be that wearing very high heels would be difficult, but with fibro you wouldn't want to do that anyway, I guess.

Glad to hear about your cat - she will keep you company, and you've got your new flat to look forward to, so I hope you feel more cheery soon.

Take care ... love, Moffy x
