Bloody rugby

:mad:
Pre-season has been underway for a few weeks now, the fitness is returning along with a bit of speed and muscle, and then I break my ankle in two places!
Had an extreemly restless night and the ankle was the size of a grapefruit this morning. Couldn't put any weight on the foot at all so my lovely wife suggests picking up a set of crutches from the doctors as I thought it was a bad sprain (I had one similar about 5 years ago). The nurse has a look at it and said she wanted me to go to the hospital for an x-ray to be on the safe side. Hours later I discover that there is a double fracture with the possibility of it requiring pinning. I have a clinic apointment tomorrow morning which will decide on what happens. Until then I have a temporary cast, beer and cocodamol :)
The kids can't wait to decorate the cast though. Any suggestions on colour schemes?

Great idea KJ. I'll hit the virtual shops tomorrow!
The list of summer jobs has ground to a halt. And I was looking forward to getting loads done too. Two of which involved digging minor footings and setting a ramp and step onto our new patio (that I had fortunately finished at Easter). I was also planning a thorough deep clean and TLC of the sv, and track daying it at the end of the month. Now I won't be back to school for the first two weeks probably, and in my school a settled start to the year can make the rest of the year much, much easier.
