[QUOTE] Sorry to hear that. More surgery required?[/QUOTE] I've got 6 weeks to grow something, if not a variety of options have been outlined. [QUOTE] Dunno. In recent years (on and off here) I've noted that healing time and ability seems to vary hugely, with some people having no probs and others having loads. e.g. I had about <gives up counting> over twenty bone breaks to heal, and they'd all done so in three months.[/QUOTE] I was counting on 3 months. [QUOTE] Champ's leg needed several attempts, but got there in the end. Frag seemed to have the worst healing ability of anyone I've met, or a skeleton made out of cheese. I've not been able to draw any conclusions.[/QUOTE] Frag's was impacted by NSAIDs iirc, as of today I'm not taking them so hope that will help. I'm allergic to milk (and to all dairy to the extent of mild symptoms but milk makes me very ill immediately) so am resorting to yoghurt drinks and cheese on toast for the calcium.
