Yeh that's the bit we went for and we were part if it all. So all good.

Hope you have an easy, relatively painless recovery mudgel. Take inspiration from Dave Grohl who didn't let his broken leg stop him making music :)

I can beat him any time.. Can't seem to setup an image even with imgur. It's a hassle free n an iPad.

I have a toe to groin cast and I'm in my room in a Phuket resort.. Don't leave for home till next Tuesday. As I feel better maybe I'll do updates

Phuket! (Pardon my French.)

bloody hell! That's serious. Where is it broken and how did you manage to do that? You probably wish it had happened over there as it is a real medical tourism hotspot and the Aussie system seems quite expensive. 
 
I hope you have good air-con mudgel, it could be quite an irritant.

Like any good grandparent, I wanted my grandkids to benefit from my many years of life experience.

So we were at the pool and what better time for a lesson in water safety; the jumping safely into a pool lesson.

Point 1 make sure water is not shallow. Check. It was about 6 ft or so. I had just been in the pool.

This is how you do a safety jump. Whoops! Not quite. Front leg stiff I jump into the pool and the heel of that foot (my left one) hits the pool floor followed by excruciating sharp pain inside my knee.

That part called the tibial plateau has a crack in it about 50% through. A little more and surgery would have been needed. Aren't I lucky, I avoided surgery. So swollen they got 85 mis of blood out.

It did happen in Phuket in one of the resorts' many pools. I've become quite the celebrity and they can't do enough for me, but the lack of a suitable wheelchair at the resort makes it mpossible to get around on my own. Everything is complicated by the bad back I've been carrying for years. Crutches impossible and the walking frame i had to buy is next to useless.

More updates as time passes. Thanks guys.

Gee, I can imagine that would be very painful. I know a guy who did something similar- he fell from scaffolding and landed on his feet.... not pretty. 
 
Might as well lap up all the attention now cos you just know when you do recuperate you will be catching grief about your famous "safety lesson" :)

The reason I wrote my last post with an attempt at humour was that I've been the butt of jokes ever since it happened. There's not a great deal of compassion on show for the father of the bride when he does something that continues to feed funny lines. Kind of like the unscratchable itch you get inside a plaster cast.. It just doesn't go away.

I just used the Sonar Tools Editor and just wanted to say Thanks!
I've been trying to get Sound Forge in the utilities menu for a while and this tool made it painless and perfect!

Credit for that one goes to our most prolific helper known here as 'scook'.
