Not happy Jan

[RAJAH235]

Sorry to hear about your injury, Jeanette. Get well soon. L.

I missed seeing the comet last night Mike. So thoughtful of you to ask.
But I'll make sure I catch the eta aquarids this week, don't need a scope for that.

[gaa_ian (Ian)]

I hope you have a speedy recovery Jeanette ....
Who says astronomy is not a dangerous hobby !
I know how you feel, my only serious injury was in my early days of hang gliding !
I hope you get a good Eta Aquriads !

looks good nightshift, can you attach a telescope tho? that basket would be good for carrying EPs and skycharts


any news back yet Jeanette?

[fringe_dweller]

Hey Jeanette, comets are a bad omen after all arent they!?
Your not alone , I re-aggrevated and old, kinda healed knee injury while on a comet chasing/imaging trip in may 2004.
Tripped while running back and forth in the dark (in the outback middle of nowhere) on and old dead tree/large branch laying on the ground.
Its still not much better after two years - and is now permenantly twice the size of my other normal knee - would require 6-12 months intensive physiotherapy to fix - cant handle/afford that much boring physio again tho, would rather be in constant pain and periodically a limping gimp when it flares
Hope yours isnt as bad as that! Good Luck (physio does fix most things tho)
PS thats why I always think/mention the Moby ****/ captain ahab analogy

to the gammy knee club jjj I know what you are going through having had five knee ops myself. Get well soon Ron

[jjjnettie (Jeanette)]

Nightshift Here ya go Jenette, had it made especially for you.

[jjjnettie (Jeanette)]

Good news, The doc says the knee isn't broken.
It should be fine in 3 weeks or so. Got to keep it strapped, apply heat packs and keep it mobile.
What a relief.

[Miaplacidus (Brian)]

Excellent news, Jeanette. First job when you're up and about: move the bloody hose!

[jjjnettie (Jeanette)]

The hose has been moved and I'm going out tonight to track down the comet.

[astro_south (Andrew)]

Great to hear Jeanette - go get that comet!

Great knee-ews Jeanette,

[jjjnettie (Jeanette)]

For sale, one walking frame with bino attachment.

[[1ponders] (Paul)]

Fantastic news Jeanette. I'm really happy for you that it turned out so well considering how bad it could have been.

I hope you haven't told the hubby and kids yet. A few more days of being waited on hand and foot wouldn't go astray

[rickericn]

OWWWWW!
Who would ever think that a backyard could be a dangerous place?
(Now... where did I leave that rake?)

Hope you're better soon.
