Title: Back in the land of the living ! Post by: Villan (Neil) on October 07, 2011, 09:14:55 AM Well after fourteen weeks recovering from my two torn calf muscles,with a hospital stay due to compartmentation (internal bleeding in the leg muscles) and the doctors saying"...Well we don't want you to lose your leg do we ?" :o :o :o 3 various sized casts, a boot, a wheelchair and then crutches, I'm going back to work on Monday on light duties. ;D
All that from a game of cricket on the beach with my two lads,unbelievable! :D It was a great catch though! ;D I've still got masses of physio appointments to go,but I'm getting there thankfully. This morning the physio had me practicing standing on one leg again,It shocked me how hard that is to do at the moment :o. I won't be able to detect until I've got full strength back in my ankle and until I can fully stretch my calf again,but I can see the light at the end of the tunnel now at least.I'm hoping I might make a late November,early December rally,fingers crossed! I would like to thank all of DW members for their kind gestures and support whilst I was injured,you know who you are! ;) I'm so pleased I joined this site, as DW is far more than just a forum and I'm proud to be a part of it.I've got to know some really good people on here.I can't wait to get on a rally again to meet up with you all again and without doubt will be attending next years two-dayer.Thanks again to you all ;) Neil Title: Re: Back in the land of the living ! Post by: Chef Geoff on October 07, 2011, 09:22:44 AM That's good news Neil and at least you have some light at the end of the tunnel at last, physio can be a pain in the butt but it'll be well worth it in the end. ;)
