Thanks heaps for all your support - and CV's kind words about my fiancee
I certainly hope that I will be able to return to refereeing and have spoken to a couple of specialists about my ankle. At this stage I suppose I'm at the "wait and see" phase. Maybe in 12 - 18 months things will be better. If not then I will have to seriously consider surgery. While I have medical insurance, there will still be some out of pocket expense and with the wedding, it just isn't a priority at the moment.
Thanks again.
