Nice metal work, however you're not a real man until you've done your cruciate ligaments. :)

sorry to hear this!! just keep going there's light at the end of the tunnel and then you'll be able to come down to soho and meet us!!

BH:smt101 Looks like the bone came through your skin?? F*ck that must have hurt:smt101:smt101:smt101

Bloody hell that bone looks like it got smashed to hell! :( Hope you are getting good mate!

As someone who's now 8 months of from basically snapping my foot off, there is life at the end of the tunnel. I'm off the painkillers now and as long as the metalwork doesn't get cold it's now 90% fixed. I surprised myself by runing up the stairs today, two steps at a time.

I hope you don't have pets that'll wag their tails on the frame or swing from it! :)

Why not have a race with Eduardo De Silva to get better? :)

I'm involved in a race with Harry Ellis(Leicester scrum half), but sadly i think he's about to win. :(

i know how you feel about the 2 stairs thingy....i laughed as i read that. the thing is people (riders) don't realise how hard it gets to do the simplist things....like walk.... but my leg is healing well apparently. but i am now using an electro magnetic bone stimulator which is amazing. the only thing good to come out of this is gonna be my big fat wedge in a year or two...solicitor has warned me to expect a heafty sum...but i would rather turn back the clock anyday..i lost my business...my girl friend...and am living on £59 per week. fu@king joke...

Re: my accident....
 

Oww, hope it heals as fast as possible.

interesting leg warmer you've got there...bit drafty I imagine.....yes people don't realise how hard the simplest things to do are...Im Indoors still can't put his socks and shoes on right...it'll be ten years in May.....and yes a big fat wedge will be coming, may take more than a couple of years though
