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?  |

Will work pay you sick pay? Some places don't, because of a sport related injury.

I went to be dreaming of cars last night. But when I got up all I had was the horn.

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!

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................. |

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 |

**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  |
