ALL STITCHED UP.........
Operation Hip To Be Square is done and dusted.
I'm now sporting a lovely new screw, metal plate and bone graft on my acetabulum.
According to the surgeon it went very well and although it was quite a serious and complex bit of surgery, I actually feel pretty good after it.
It doesn't even feel anywhere near as painful as the last one.
There's a couple of tubes hanging out of my side and and some lovely new scarring, but overall I'm in fine form and spirits.
I really do think those 4 days in the bush helped a lot, I don't know how, but they did.
Now for a bit of recovery.
Michelle has brought to my attention that apparently I own a café in Hobart.
Check it!
Some snaps from the weekend for your enjoyment.
Good spot to set up a hammock.
The hammock, ready to rock.
All set for some R & R
Cam, tent, river and sunset.
Prototype baby chicken on a stick, Cam and I.
Chicken basting using machete.
The end product, lovely smoky fire roasted chicken on a stick.
Brenton and Cam at the swimming hole.
Just doing my hydro therapy.
Chicken on a stick Mark II.
Chicken on the way to becoming roasted goodness.
Night shot.
Night shot II.
Ahh, the high country for me! ( it's actually a stump )
Kate, also known as the female Ritchie Sambora.
Breakfast as nature intended.
Cam and Kate, so fully relaxed on the long way home.
