i got Chris Brasher steer hide. I've had them for about 15 years or more and they still look new.

They are superb for icy cobbles and thigh deep snow!! i love it when they go into autodrive mode

They sound amazing! Maybe the foot doctor I am to see will prescribe me a pair

A lot of my problem this last week is that I can't bear weight on the toes end of my foot and have to walk on the heel. Although today I was starting to put it down a bit which is progress. I reckon it's the regular sprays of magnesium!

And all the rest

I would say there are a variety of causes; of course there is human error, totally understandable shit can happen, there are also patients who develop complications. But, there are patients, like me, who had a complete incompetent butcher them, i was lucky i survive (only due to my amazing GP and amazing surgeon who has spent 8 years keeping me alive when it has been touch and go) many other patients of his didn't.”
I'd never want a private hospital. I'm convinced you get better treatment on the NHS.
You must feel very hacked off at your ill luck in getting that bungler. Thank goodness you weren't one of his patients that didn't survive



I hadn't appreciated it was 8 years of suffering, I thought it was four or five......
