That was a bad fall Vicky. Here's me moaning about a fall I had just before we moved home. I was talking on the phone to brother in law Denis, turned around to enter the living room and fell over a bag which I'd put down to pick up the phone. It fair brought tears to my eyes and three months later I still have fluid on my knee but my doctor said he doesn't feel concerned about it. He's not got the bad knee. <G> Jim Sharpe Shaw, Oldham. ----- Original Message ----- From: Vicky Ballantine <cobolt47@frontiernet.net> To: <GEN-FRIENDS-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, January 23, 2002 9:36 PM Subject: [GEN-FRIENDS] update on knee > Had two more x-rays done this morning--it seems the break is more than we > were first lead to believe, it is down the shin bone as well, a fracture > there, but need to keep the leg brace on for 2 full months!
