Hi Peter. Thanks for asking. I am doing better than I hoped and have a meeting with the surgeon and his staff tomorrow pm. I have been walking without crutches for over a week now and on Sunday went for a walk around my field, twice, with no extra pains. I have now cut down on the pain killers. to zero, so far today. I don't want to spend too much time stood up at a work bench yet but will be on to your job quite soon. The thought of your bike kicking you back when starting made me wince by remote control.
