Feeling much better today. Thanks to everyone for all your kind comments and encouragement and especially Lorraine my wife who I typically like a man forget to mention. Thanks Lorraine. I`ve put the crutches away now and have much more balance. I walk rather more wonky . Need to keep on working on my leg muscles now and watch my weight so I am not carrying around too much. The steroids have implications too! so have to keep on top of that.
