Title: Charity Can Be Dangerous. Post by: herthab on Monday, October 1, 2007, 15:57:24 Took part in a charity football event in Brizzle yesterday and with the last tackle of the game got caught.
I thought it was just a nasty bruise, so drove home. Woke up this morning with a bit of discomfort, so went to work as normal. By 10.00 am it was hurting like a bastard, so I went to the doctors, who referred me to A&E in Yeovil, where they did an X-Ray and informed me I'd fractured my leg! 6-8 weeks off work and my legs in plaster until Wednesday, when they'll be fitting me out with some 'boot' thingy. Does anyone fancy picking me up for the Gills game? :( Title: Charity Can Be Dangerous.

Makes you wonder if its worth it Title: Charity Can Be Dangerous. Post by: juddie on Tuesday, October 2, 2007, 09:45:29 the boot thing is great. I had a double dislocation and a fracture playing three years go (my foot was at a right angle from my ankle!) and after the cast came off I was sh*tting myself every time I knocked it or anything - those booty things are indestructible!
Title: Charity Can Be Dangerous. Post by: herthab on Tuesday, October 2, 2007, 09:54:30 Could you drive with the boot on?
If I had an automatic I'd be alright, as it's my left leg. Don't want to miss up to 8 weeks of football................. :( Title: Charity Can Be Dangerous. Post by: magicroundabout on Tuesday, October 2, 2007, 11:36:08 i went to the hospital yesterday to get booked on for my Cruciate ligament surgery.
said the waiting list is 5 months then another 12 months out until i can play football. so all in all i will have not played football for 2½ years :( time to hang the boots up i think Title: Charity Can Be Dangerous.

Title: Charity Can Be Dangerous. Post by: herthab on Wednesday, October 3, 2007, 16:27:17 **UPDATE**
Had my temporary cast removed today, but instead of the new 'boot' thing (Which obviously costs too much for South Somerset Trust to provide) I've been fitted with a lightweight, weight-bearing cast in my choice of colour! Not supposed to put any weight on it for the first 3 weeks (I'm in it for at least 6 weeks) but I'm seriously considering risking the drive down on Saturday. So if you see a good looking bloke on crutches sporting a tasteful red cast on his leg, come over and say hello :D Title: Charity Can Be Dangerous.
