Hot and sunny up here over the last few days and the BBQ even came out yesterday. Thats the good news for me cause my day has just taken a downer.
Went for my orthopaedic appointment for more X rays on this bl..dy foot of mine. The result is that its much worse than they thought - the bones were wrenched appart apparently not broken - foot now in plaster, booked in for a scan on Wednesday of next week and been told not to eat anytjing that morning as it looks like I'll be going into the chopping room that afternoon. A clamp going in to hold the bones togeather and for good measure a couple of screws, then back in plaster. Hate to think what would have happened if I hadn't been wearing decent boots!!!
So there goes my Scottish Summer of riding I think sh................................................ ........ite.

Sorry to hear not going quite as planned.
All the best with the recovery.

Nowhere near as serious, but I know how you feel, sun is shining and me poorly leg means no riding At least some time off work whilst it's Roastin'.

Whats annoying is that I've obviously managed to hobble about and ride the bike up until now but with a plaster on I think I better behave - hope you are mending well mate.

An External Fixator.. .. lovely. My wife had one for a while, before they stuck an inter-medullary (not sure of the spelling there) nail through her should and down inside her humorous.

Never mind, you'll just have to make the most of it, and put your feet up..... every cloud and all !

It didn't sound like it Darren - sounded more like a big staple shaped bracket fixed internally - I hope so anyway!
