Hey! we have the exact same chairs in our house!

Oh, if you get the chance go the splint over the cast, much more comfortable and you can take it off to shower etc. I've got one you can borrow if you like. Still got a wobble board somewhere too I think!

Man, that is ugly, real ugly .... I mean the blue chairs just do not go with the beige filing cabinet. What were you thinking????

Coupla weeks laid up,, then hobbling on crutches, then a few weeks of physio etc.
You will turn into a complete blob especially if you are parked somewhere near the Guinness fridge.





Oh yeah, hope you have a speedy recovery

Get better soon Reli, but at least it happened at the end of the season so I guess it's not all bad...

I was once round at a girl's place (who I had the hots for), she decided to paint my toenails. Who was I to argue? All good I thought, I wear shoes, no-one will know any different.
So there I am a couple of days later, standing in the lineup at karate, and the instructor looks at me with a funny expression on my face, I drop my eyes and suddenly realise what he was thinking...

it all starts with toenail painting, but it then leads to gold bracelets, then star spangled shorts, big hair etc

... then you shave your legs, stomach, back, ears, tail... and it grows back real thick.

Good luck with the ankle PR. Bummer dude.

(I've done something to my ankle too, a sprain. Why does it always take 2-3 days to actually start hurting?)

Your not wrong Greenie.
The occasional tinge of sharp pain is ok its the fact i can't do anything. Cant even take the dog for a walk, go for a bike ride nothing.

Perming my legs is all i have left

Looks like you might have to go out and buy some good PC games reli.I strongly suggest "call of duty 4".

Hey Reli, hope you have a quick recovery, i broke my ankle 4 years ago and its good now. It doesn't seem to affect my sailing... I'm still rubbish. Good luck with the boredom, be carefull of daytime shopping channels.
