  I broke my fibula and tibia playfighting aged 26 on Tottenham Marshes. I was drunk. I got metal inserted from under my kneecap and down to ankle, 4 screws. It took me 6 months to get back to 'normal'. 18 months later I had the metal removed as it was screwing with my mental health. I was back to 'normal' within a week after that op. I'm now 46 and have lived a full life over the last 20 years with no problems, moderate to vigorous exercise, 200k audaxes, gym, walking, climbing hills, paddle boarding etc etc
  My gait is perfect and I've suffered no phantom pains or suffered in any way since. I don't know how old you are but given my experience with the NHS and similar to you but 20 years ago, give it time, heal up and you'll be amazed within a year how much has changed. Stay strong.

  I'm glad you are getting help. My other child has been fortunate in accessing help, so we got really lucky there. One child is getting the support and the other isn't. It's complete potluck. The bottom line is that inter-generational trauma is being ignored, and our young people/children are being failed. I feel for people in worse situations than mine.

  Really, really sad times. My younger teen attempted suicide and was still struck off from CAHMS (for a 2nd time). Doesn't now trust or want to open up to anyone (as the article says) as feels angry and let down. So the GP referred said child for the 3rd time and we are still waiting. Private we can't afford, there are only short holdings (6 weeks at best) with charitable organizations. Our young peoples' futures are being decimated through the lack of support.

• Does anyone know anything about gardening?

  We got one of these 1st lockdown (I missed the pub) and haven't looked back. Will easily get 20-30 years out of it if not more. Quick wipedown every spring.
