No golf for a while🤕

[Khamelion]

Well that's me not playing for a few weeks after being told yesterday that I have a broken big toe. Getting new boiler fitted and helping the fitter carry the old one out the house the bottom half of the cast iron boiler came away and dropped on my big toe. The last bone in the toe is broke front to back. Off to the fracture clinic this morning to see what's next hopefully it'll just be rest with foot up

Ouch.

Hope it mends quickly and you are back out as soon as possible now summer has arrived.

 

[FairwayDodger]

Oh dear and just when summer finally made an appearance.

 

[virtuocity]

Oh dear. I hope this has taught you a valuable lesson: never help people.

 

[GB72]

Did mine last year. 8 weeks off

 

[Alex1975]

Ouch! Bad luck!

I'll find out at 11:30 how long I'm going to be laid up. Thing is when it happen I just walked it off, it hurt, but I could still bend my toe without any pain it wasn't until much later that it swelled up which then made it difficult to walk.

I got wrong off the nurse when she asked what I'd done all day, I told her that I'd been helping the boiler fitter, I'd been up and down the stairs, she asked if I'd had any pain relief, told her I'd taken nothing, to which she said "what you bloody men like? Go home have some pain relief and put you foot up"

This isn't going to go well I don't make a good patient

You should sue the plumber for not providing you with steel capped work boots

 

[chrisd]

Lets hope that you're a quick healer and back sooner than you expect

Should have asked her for some pain relief... She might have given you something that would have made it more interesting to sit still....

Good time to get to the gym and work on the upper body or go swimming or work on the putting so not all doom and gloom.

Get well soon mate.

Broken toes are ok, I played through mine, back muscles are a whole different ball game mind, 28 points was impressive at the weekend.

Re: No golf for a while



Well it's good news and bad news from the fracture clinic, good news is that I managed to break the bone on the top and underneath on the side, the larger portion of the bone is covered in hairline fractures, I was told it is a complex fracture. That written it's clean, doesn't need any surgery and will heal overtime. Two to three weeks for the swelling and bruising to go away and then it's up to me when I start putting pressure on it.

So the bad news is no golf for a few weeks or at least till I can walk on it without limping or needing the crutches I was given, which to be fair are more of a hindrance than help.

Unlucky mate, I hope you'll be fit for the return leg of CLS v Whickham v The Rest of Tyneside in September.
