The mental health benefits of our hobby are well documented, often discussed but rarely seen until they are taken away by illness or prolonged hobby furlough.
Hope your leg continues to improve … but of course, slowly does it is the motto!
I had a similar thing with the leg calf and in the end the continued use of high dose antibiotics were doing their own damage and I had to be taken off them!
As for hobby health - my increasing limitation is a painful back and this has reduced the length of time that I can stand at a table - so a real world solution is a) to go for shorter games and b) to raise my table to 40” high, to reduce the effect of bending into the table - both are working for me. But as you say, the real value of being able to do something is often only appreciated when it is taken away.
Thank you for leaving a comment. I always try to reply as soon as I can, so why not pop back later and continue the conversation. In the meantime, keep rolling high!
