Banned for six weeks

[Bluepete]

By my doctor!

Had the operation to reconstruct my Cruciate Ligament yesterday, so I'm not allowed to drive for six weeks! I've never had a general anaesthitic before and was apparently very funny (first time for everything) whilst coming round! All I remember is my entire face itching like buggery and refusing to have the oxygen mask on. Knee strapped up in a splint for a week to ten days, gonzo painkillers and no prospect of any riding until the spring at least. :(

The Doc took some pics for me, this is what my broken ACL looks like, it's the white bit lower left which should go all the way to the top right;

I think Mrs Bluepete is already fed up with me! I can only walk or be on my feet for a max of 20 minutes per day, so the sofa is in for a work out. Good job I bought a PS3 last weekend! Happy Christmas!

[Alpinestarhero]

Awesome!!! The inner workings of stuff is so interesting :D

WHat games you got on your PS3? When will GT5 be out?

GWS matey! Best think to do is get your bike all nice and clean in time for the spring!

Good to hear you're in good spirits after your op.

I do love the caption on that pic though, it's not broken it "Incompetent" :D

[Bluepete]

COD 4 Modern warfare and Ratchet and Clank. Can't wait for GT5, March next year. Thanks for the goo vibe!

Sweet pic!

You'll be up and about in no time - after all, you're only missing the bad weather, rain, snow, hail, dumb drivers and cold fingers... have a rest and be back on track for the North/South '08...

... I want to remain the only one on crutches that attends y'hear.:kiss:

COD 4 Modern warfare and Ratchet and Clank. Can't wait for GT5, March next year. Thanks for the goo vibe!

Quite frankly BP, old chap, I think you are having a laugh....

You are just showing us a bit of knee to try to stay under cover. But you are blown: you have been "banned" for six weeks at EXACTLY the same time as another member of your profession....

FESS UP! You ARE Meredydd Hughes really, aren't you!!!

I started riding my bike roughly 2 months after my ACL/PCL/Collateral reconstruction. It was a bit sore, but your biggest obstacle will be getting enough bend to get your feet on the pegs/levers.

I had to have my knee in a splint for 2 months officially(i stopped wearing it after 6 weeks) so it least you've got lucky there.

GWS Pete.

[Girth]

GWS dude and get Ghost Recon its far better than COD!!!

[600+]

gws mate :)

u'll need to be fully operational for the fz1 test ride.........(i am doing surgery on it at the moment....looking for 15bhp more:) )

[Bluepete]

It's OVER. No longer office boy, back on full duties, exactly six months post op. That's the minimum the H&S dept will allow.
I know I'm shouting, but I don't care, I'm a bit drunk (already), and more than a bit happy. \\:D/

[Samnooshka]

Glad you're all healed!! Nice one!!

[timwilky]

Oi, it is about time you got your lazy backside back to work.

Now don't go to looking for trouble in Salford again. you don't want to hurt yourself again do you.

[Bluepete]

No, I plan on mixing with a better class of clientelle in Altrincham.





NOT!

[timwilky]

Better class. I lived off Devisdale Road for 6 months. Certainly not better class round there. Just considerably wealthier

[frankie77]

it not all bad, i had the same done, the brace is off in just over a week, i will be so good getting back on the bike:D

[Stu]

Got me worried there!:smt067Wish the date thread started was more prominent :roll: so you're all good for North/South?

:D

[Bluepete]

Check the thread dude, it's a no go for me, sorry!
