I previously mentioned a bad tackle that sidelined me for up to 8 weeks. Now it's for the rest of the season as this Thursday I head into surgery for two screws and metal plate to be put in my foot to repair the bone and ligament damage one bad tackle has done. Watch your tackles lads...please...

...the glass is now half full. After the injury first happening on 2nd of April and after being on crutches that whole time (apart from 2 days where my Doctor said it was just a sprain, walk around on it), I'm not just 2 weeks and 5 days from getting into a moon boot and ditching the crutches.

The swelling has finally gone down, yes, I'll need surgery again to take the two metal plates and two screws back out at some point, but my anger about not playing football and cricket this year have been superseded by my anticipation of enjoying a few beers while standing and walking on my own two feet! 

Glass half full people!!! (...but still watch those tackles lads!)

good stuff mate. Keeping a positive attitude is half the battle

Really struggled for a few weeks with it, was getting hard around the home, impacting family life etc but now we're coasting comfortably down the hill rather than crawling up it.

When you tell the I.T. guy he did something wrong, he tells you you're wrong in a smug, condescending way, then you  prove to him he's wrong. He then has to eat humble pie and fix his fudge up.
