Report by

October 2024

I have some issues myself, as speech and also forgetting names, etc. 

I need to pass along to one or two retirees to continue taking over as the Visiting Member
 or just phoning members who are not doing so well.

For those interested in how my recovery is going, here we go. I have 3 or 4 physio sessions left and as the muscles around my hip strengthen I’m walking with less and less of a limp. This is a big deal to me because it’s the first time in over 2 years I haven’t had a limp from the pain. The surgeon still has me restricted to no extreme movements or sports but I look forward to putting on socks without an aid sometime in the future. Funny what becomes a trill at my age.
