Birthday Fun For Tilda

Hello my friends! I was at the hospital yesterday as i had to attend the A&E Review Clinic and the findings were that i have definitely tore the ligaments in my knee. It can take just as long to heal as a break or fracture. I'm taking plenty of painkillers and i will be receiving physiotherapy.
Would you all like to have a good laugh at my photos?

As you can see i'm still managing to smile!!
