For those who are not on facebook, this is just a little heads up that work will be starting on the T-10 again after Christmas, I went into hospital on Friday and came out yesterday (Sunday) with a shiny new ceramic hip, I haven't felt so good for bloody years.
Good to hear your on the mend mate, the old hip was really giving you grief, you must be like a spring chicken now..:)

Wish you well in your recovery mate. If you don't mind me asking, what's the crack with all that? Length of time in hosptial, pain, recovery time, etc... My old man needs it doing badly, but he keeps putting it off.

Glad you're on the road to recovery now Colin. From the sounds of it, things went well. :)
Glad to hear it went all OK...but you'll need to take it easy for a bit!!
When Dad had his done they made him walk on it almost immediately, now we can stop him, the difference between then and now is amazing. Hope you are on the mend quickly, but don't rush it

Good to here it went to plan , slow and steady like you say.

All the best Colin.
So when are you planning to get your leg over :wink:
you just couldnt see your car being modified and you not being modified ..ceramic eh? ..are you lightened and balanced on one side ..you will need to work out how to modify the other side for complete speed and stealth lol ! All the best in recovery :)
Get well soon
Glad to hear it went well! Fingers crossed your recovery goes well.
Wish you a speedy recovery Colin. My father in law had an awful standard of life before he had both his done, now he's up & down ladders, carrying both babies at once etc. The t10 won't know what's hit it. Lol
Super Colin - we have the technology to rebuild him. Seriously good to hear that you are getting better. If you fancy popping around for a chat then you know where I am - I can show you the updates on the SSB
Nice to see the NHS getting something right for a change. Take it easy mate.
Just thinking, Hope things are progressing well.
[QUOTE=Harvey;807724]Just thinking, Hope things are progressing well.[/QUOTE] Fantastic mate, I can now walk unaided, but am still using one crutch for the time being, only down side, I've swapped the T-5R with my Son for the time being, so I'm back in my old S60.
Glad to hear it Colin. Well... Apart from the 850 bit!
