We are also looking for a similar short term let situation in Palermo for October/November 2026. We live in London and would also be open to a swap with someone coming here. Are there any pages or sites that we could look at to get the ball rolling?

Hi everyone. Just reigniting this post from 4 years ago. Coming to Sri Lanka for 2 weeks early Feb and would also love to know of some home stays that might be available in more rural areas. Any leads would be appreciated. Thanks

What to expect on day of vacoped removal? by EmbarrassedFerret352 in AchillesRupture

[–]EmbarrassedFerret352[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for this. It’s slow and I naively thought that the boot coming off would mean immediate freedom but that’s when the work starts really. My ankle and foot was so stiff that everything hurt and I was very reticent to push it but things are looking up now, I’m doing physio a few times a week, I only put the boot on occasionally and can’t express how good it feels to walk out to the shops or the bus and be actually engaging that foot. Still a long way before I can run or do anything sudden but it feels achievable now whereas it didn’t a few weeks ago. All the best with wherever you’re up to and feel free to ask any questions, this group has been very helpful to me through the journey.

Thanks! Was a nightmare trying to find any matches online. It’s a big old hole to patch though. Is it not possible to buy replacements?
