Today's Injuries

[MattHunt]

yes i made the catch......wasnt worth it though.

[Stagger]

Knee got severe stabbing pains on the inside. In a leg brace, totally gutted, but never laughed and swore as much as I did while trying to hop of Midgley moor yesterday.

I can understand the swearing, I've done the same when I've torn my ankle ligaments and had to hobble home. Impressed you managed to laugh though, I think I'd have wept.

What exactly happened, injury-wise? Did you simply put your foot in the wrong place and wrench your knee?
But I know from one of your postings last week that you had a knee which was already swollen. Was it that that one decided enough was enough?

It was the same knee, but just on the little slope to Milk Churn Joan I got a very sharp stabbing pain on the inside of the knee.
I stopped put all my body cover on and thought I would walk back. My left knee had no intensions of assisting me.
I had to laugh because the pain was killing me and what else is an ex rugby player supposed to do while wandering the moor.

PS After some good pain I sat for a moment and some sheep passed by, I explained they were safe today as I had no wellies or velcro with me.
Then I almost wet my shorts laughing at a 47 bloke sat injured in the middle of a hailstorm on the moor talking to sheep.
Cant wait to be back

Compound fracture in left (writing) hand, seatbelt lacerations and a wrenched lower left back following a 50mph collision with a dry stone wall after swerving to avoid a couple of pheasants.

I know, I know...city boy error. Lesson learned: just hit the bloody things!!
