After the long build-up, the six-week appointment was over surprisingly quickly. The doctor, another member of my consultant's team who I'd never seen before, was pleased with my progress, and professed himself mildly surprised that I was still using even one crutch. I'm cleared to carry heavy stuff, sleep on my right side, sit in swivel and rocking chairs, swim and walk about without a stick, but not to go skiing just yet, which is just as well since for that I would also need a pile of money and a death-wish.
I spent about ten minutes with the doctor, and about an hour getting copies of my x-rays, and if I could get it to read, I could show you a lovely picture...

here. That is a sizeable hunk of metal, isn't it?
