Ooops - Stars on Ice ?!!

[TLS-Moose]

Well, what can I say, went down to the Eden Project yesterday with family & friends ....

Wife knackered her knee a few years ago, so muggins was volunteered to go on the ice-rink with the kids ....

Which is when I found out fat blokes and ice don't mix!!

So here I lie, in hospital (RD&E), having managed to dislocate & fracture my right ankle and rip some ligaments to boot.

They manipulated the dislocation last night, and I am now stuck here til they can operate to pin the fractures in a couple of days ..... Boo Hoo and poor me!!

[Lady g]

Oh no!!! Poor you Moose.. That sounds really nasty. Still, at least you will get to choose the colour of your cast - you could have a lovely Barbie Pink..?!!

Get well soon - and make the most of everyone having to run around after you until you've healed.

[speedy(delboy)]

and the kids are at home saying "ha ha Cheers Sucker"

Get well soon matey

[Smiler]

OMG! Moose that sounds horrendous!!

Get well soon

oh, and I'd go for purple cast btw, very much this seasons colour...

[DynaMight]

Nasty...

Look on the plus side, hospitals are a great way to diet...

[layne]

That’ll teach ya to go without me.

And I suppose your use this as an excuse not to go again mid December.

poof

Sorry to hear the misfortune, bit late now but skating boots will normally give the proper support if you keep them really tight around the ankles.

[bambam]

ohh that sounds nasty moose

i think i'll stay indoors or in the pub......much safer if a bit more expensive

get well soon mate

[TLS-Moose]

Thanks folks, feeling a bit sorry for myself today .... No doubt all will be well soon, just gotta wait til tues/weds for them to operate on the fracture then hopefully I can go home ......

I can think of better ways of dieting, with a fair bit less discomfort, though perhaps not the enforced discipline .....

Oh, and the boots did their job - they were tight and it would have been far worse (!) If they hadnt been tight .... And the staff at Eden & St Austell Minor Injuries Unit were excellent too.

[JohnBob]

OUCH.

Was it shortly after showing off with some particularly impressive moves, or did you simply go down like a sack o' spuds?

[Funky]

Bad luck mate, I hope you got revenge and grounded the kids

heal soon buddy, at least you won on the trivia quiz.

[Mervin]

Oh Dear Moose
Speedy recovery hope you have some nice nurses around there it helps
