Thank you all very much for sharing your experiences.
I believe that one important guide on the path to recovery is to recognise good advice from the medical professionals, but it is real life experience that really shows you the way forward.

We are advocates of proper recuperation at home, so I am getting good attention. We live in the country; so I can step outside and keep myself movingt. I cannot stand the couch potato life all day long.

I do not plan on taking out a bike until the bone is at 110%. I see no real benefit in pushing my luck.
I was so looking forward to trying out my latest build. Its going to be a while; I can make a start on restoring its paintwork instead.

Thanks to you all again for your support.
