Re: Moon moon
So there I am doing my impressions of N. Armstrong in the Moon Boot. Six months short of ten days and after five X Rays I am now free of the boot, Moon Boot that is. Now I have to begin to walk without a limp as I have done for the past six months. When I as give the Boot the physio company told me I could rent it or buy it, I bought. If I hire it would go back to be refurbished. I have t tell you that even JC miracle could refurbish this one.


Happy daze John in Oz.

Re: Moon moon
my daughter spent several months wearing a moonboot and commuting from Rickmansworth to London city centre every day on the tube.must have been a nightmare.
I visited her during that time and we went shopping on the satuday into Rickmansworth,her in her moonboot.At one shop a woman rushed past us,very sprighltly obviously in a hurry with no signs of a moonboot and my daughter commented that the woman caught the same train as her every morning wearing a moonboot and always got a seat by playing the sympathy card.suggest that you retain your moonboot

This gum tree had recently been 'trimmed'. They can get a bit out of control if you do not cut them occasionally. I was making sure nit di not sprout again. Think you will find there are some um trees in Canada, the can be und in many countries as the range is quite large. Have seen them in Ireland, Spain and France
