Foot update.....

Well today my cast came off, didn't look as bad as I thought underneath, obviously not that beautiful, but think it could've been worse. I'm now in a well cool, almost robotic, boot. I also got some photos of my before and after x-rays. Here they are!


Can't see much, but the joints should be clean and have an even space between them, which this doesn't.

Now here it is with all the metalwork in, three joints pinned together (thus the surgery being called a Triple Arthrodesis). Slowly but surely, the joints are being fused together to get rid of the pain.

Just some photos from our garden at the moment...

I just wanted to put a personal update on here.

I had surgery on a dodgy joint I have in my foot just over two weeks ago. So I'm now laid up on the sofa for a while - getting to watch the World Cup (but at the moment, it has been exciting, but in an England point of view - rather depressing, so far).

I've started going out now and again, and below is a picture of me and Heather before going to our friends Lawrence's 30th birthday bash. He had a marquee in the back garden, which was dressed up as a casino, and so we're dressed appropiately - well, I fashioned my tux to accomodate my cast, good look I reckon:

Support during the World Cup

Now England and the USA have played each other now, we can now show off our support in the neighbourhood without worrying about upsetting anyone!

Here's hoping they both make it through their group, starting today against Slovenia and Algeria.

I made it, I'm famous!!

I upload quite a few of my photos up on the interent here and there, on various sites. Mainly to see what people think, not too much in an ego-boosting type of way, just to see what people think, and take advice.

I've just had my first mention in a web newsletter. It's via Photoradar.com who supply Digital Camera Magazine, a magazine I subscribe to. Anyway, they gave me a mention in their latest newslatter regarding the world cup, here's the newsletter, if you look in the highlights bit, my photo is Sun In Their Eyes, by Beadle.
