Actually, knowing how conscientious you are, I'm sure you've tried that already. Dry your eyes Phildo - in Sydney it's about 10 and pissing down!

I agree with lock though it sounds like a bit of rest is needed mate, gotta get that leg in shape. You said "Today was a classic Townsville ‘winter’ day–blue skies (literally not a cloud in the whole sky all day!), max temp of about 25 deg. C., and a slight offshore breeze." Just a reality check - in London, Summer has just started and we are looking at 20 deg C and a fair bit of cloud. Not happy Jan! <strong>Editors note</strong>--check out the weather at Covent Garden<a href="http://www.camvista.com/england/london/trafsq.php3">here</a>.

They are going to take out the screw only, at the moment. I'm going to ask to keep it. The rod etc... will stay in there permanently. Unless they decide to swap it out. But, I went in this morning to talk with them again about the screw thing and was told that the x-rays from Friday, "look encouraging". Apparently, the lower Tibia is one of the slowest healing bones in the body, due to the fact that it has very poor blood supply. In addition, when they put the rod/nail in there, they cut off the blood supply to the inner 20-30% of the bone for about 3 months. This extends the healing process--not to mention that I fell 25m down a water fall and got owned!

I would have thought that having part of your pelvis scraped out to fix your leg would be much more of a pain in the arse than disecting invertebrates.

I would have thought that having part of your pelvis scraped out to fix your leg would be much more of a pain in the arse than disecting invertebrates. Thinking about it, invertebrates are lucky son's of bitches that they don't have bones to begin with! TT and I were puzzling over the fate of the Ti rod in your shin the other day - when does that come out? Can you keep it if it does? The sunset pic is the money, it's on my desktop at work now, attracting many passing comments about the sad state of the rainy, Sydney world.
