QD,
Thanks, that is what I thought.
I have a hospital check up in 4 weeks time so will do it after that.
My GP has already said he will help me get my licence back,so it all looks good ,and friends will take me flying if I feel the need meantime.
I'm walking around an hour a day and spent and hour on the ride-on yesterday,so reckon I'm healing well.

PS- Interesting that I will not be able to use a chainsaw as the spark plug current is near the handle and can cause problems!
