Saw my surgeon today who told me I am doing brilliantly and got the all clear to drive and relax restrictions  cheesygrin .  I asked about skiing possibly next year and he said that he would not obsolutely reccomend it but mainly becaue of the risk of falling.  However he did say that his Swiss and Austrian colleagues would not be giving the same advice so I should just do whatever I feel like biggrin] .  I will obviously be carfeful.  I asked about cycling and he said absolutely fine.  However I have fallen off my bike far more often that I have fallen on skis and the ground was much harder!!  All in all though all great  news biggrin

      I have rented an excercise bike which I will start with.  Then I will maybe get back to the gym but will not get on my proper bike for a while.
