just back from seeing the consultant doctor regarding my leg op that i had eight weeks ago.
the news isnt good as he signed me off for another three months.ive been off for three months now.
i have got to have another ultra scan on my leg and the result of that will determine wether i need another op or not ,if any part of the muscle tissue has pulled away from my knee cap it will mean a total rebuild of the knee .that will mean about a year off work .
i asked what the final outcome would be regarding fitness of the knee if i dont need a new op ,he said i would be able to walk and play golf normally ,but dont expect to be able to run anywhere ,not even jog..
so now im signed off till mid feb and im already climbing the bloody walls.:(
 
How did you do it.

i had three months off work a few years back when I had my Modified Bostrum repair ( ankle ligament re attachment) similar to Rory's ankle injury.
It did my flippin head in. Read a lot, then read a lot.

biggest job was keeping away from biscuit barrel when bored. didn't help with it being Christmas and the house was full of food.

Just read that back, bet your even more depressed now 😳

Only thing i will will say is, listen to what the physio says and for gods sake don't take any shot cuts or cheats. A couple of ex colleagues did and it has permanently knocked them back.

Good luck me man.
 
cheers Tashy,know what you mean about the biccy barrel.:o

the initial injury was caused by slipping on a railway sleeper that was being used as a path edging ,it was the first hole at Mannings Heath .
doc has said do not attempt to rush anything as a tear will be very costly in terms of pain and healing time.:(
anyone for six holes of carpet putting.:lol:

they have been .
really liked Da Vinci`s demons.


mr Brightside ,work is vehicle insulation,ie making them ready for refrigeration ,and then fitting fridge units to them ,its a lot of knee bending and climbing on van roofs..not what is anything good for my knee as the doc says it must be fully healed before i can put it to the stresses and strains of getting in and out of vehicles upwards of 75 times a day.
 
I broke my Knee playing Rugby back in 1995 i was off for about a year in total, but go so bored i begged to go back to work. Was in a wheelchair with a full plaster cast from Ankle to Thigh. It was hell, plus i put on about 3 stone over that time. just drinking and eating.

Was the end of my cycling career ( was Cat1 road racer up until then) .

make sure you do all the physio stuff and it will recover, though it will take time. Only really got full flex back in that leg about 5 years ago.
