Some years ago I retired from work , and one afternoon while my husband was in Inverness [ just a few miles away from Glasgow ] I fell over our dog and dislocated my Left elbow - description I gave the Ambulance control was I had destroyed my elbow - my upper arm appeared to be about 6 ins in length !!
Floated into A&E on Entonox ! X-rays taken and eventually the dislocation was reduced under rather a lot of Morphine or similar and I was admitted to a ward . Don't remember much about that night. Next morning the Orthopod sat on my bed and told me he seriously did not expect me to be able to use my arm again as he reckoned that the ligaments etc were too badly damaged ! I was not a happy bunny as I enjoyed driving horses and carriages and that is done with your left hand / arm !!
Two months later I was still in a sling and could move my forearm approximately one ins upwards.
6 months as a result of obeying my surgeon [ who was still very sceptical about the final result ] I came out of the sling ! with about 50% of the movement of my elbow ! Two moths after that I went to my carriage driving instructor and said " Let's have a go ! " so we did with the set up as for a disabled driver - i.e. 2 sets of reins - one for me and one for him. The pony was a darling [ I normally drove a pair ] but this one was also voice controlled , and we left the yard with my husband having a real panic as I exited the yard.
15 minutes down the road - we stopped - my Instructor removed his reins and I was in full control . I drove for another 15 mins and we then returned . My grin went from ear to ear I returned to carriage driving and regularly drove pairs of horses and ponies - I had my life back
Obey instructions given to you - and you can do it again - adaptations may have to be made - but it will give you your life back again . DO NOT GIVE IN !

I've bought quite a few bits and pieces from them - they've even gone so far as to do a trial pack of a bag they had in stock, putting in gear more or less identical to min, to see if it would fit before I bought the bag .
I got an excellent trade in price for the K-x and the whole process was easy.
I normally buy by phoning them - never had a problem , they give advice when I ask for it and the stuff arrives very very promptly - beautifully packed.

Those are really lovely - particularly , to my mind , the ones with the fish.
Congratulations - well worth the wait
