8 months

8 months of freedom?
8 months of what?
8 months and... H says: 8 months of pain and then he'll be a freak....

8 months of something and then the thigh bone will be lengthened using external fixator.

If I can quote the Finns, but am sure am not allowed:
It will be 8 months in a leaky boat...
The wind in my sails will protect and prevail

Aotearoa, rugged individual,
listen like a pearl, at the bottom of the world
The tyranny of distance, didn't stop the cavalier
So why should it stop me, I'll conquer and stay free

Tarsal has resided, due to less activity because of school holidays.
So when we are back at school, running wild and the pain comes back,
and all inflames more...

But none of that matters because at the moment we have 8 months of freedom....
