a spiral fracture will take ages to heal, its one of the worst to heal, thats why poor old digger is going for his op, probably to have a plate put in and hold it together.....:(

He is right, it takes an age to heal, and is prone to reoccurring. commonly associated with skiing injury or motorbike accidents. Bad times and damn unlucky not to be a simple break.

got an 8 inch plate and 6 screws in my tibia, the fibia is well placed, so is being left to its own devices :)
when i last broke my leg (its not a habit honestly) twas a straight snap of the tib, so no surgery was required. as a result i had a full leg plaster and mobility was a total s**t, spasms of pain every time i tried to shift the cast.
since the surgery i have a half pot, so raising/manouvering my crippled limb is less painful. have to keep all weight off for a fortnight and then hopefully will go onto 30kg weightbearing to encourage ossification.
the atv if it was a 6 wheeler would have been a kawasaki mule, have driven them regularly, very good for carrying ungainly loads over rough terrain :eek:
if you do end up maimed, ward 14 at queen alex hospital in gateshead is the place to be, fantastic ward staff (except for dizzy, the sadistic angel of death) the consultant; mr patterson is very ......forthright but top banana. and heres an interesting thing, ''oralmorph'' is bobbins, better off with codiene. obviously IV morphine is wonderful stuff :240:
although it does have certain side effects; had my first poo today since saturday and only with a hefty dose of senna :(

i am surprised a few of the lads slept through it all, although it may be a fair reflection of chris's DEVIL brew :)

chaps i've said it before and i'll say it again ; I AINT DEAD YET!
:eek:

If memory serves me correctly, Orric and I were re-enacting the opening scenes from the film Commando; something I'm sure you may have done yourself in the past. Unfortunately in this instance Orric has wood and I don't have wood. Something that was later rectified after a good deal of manhandling. Thankfully we managed to share the wood and everyone was happy. I've been working mine frequently over the last few days and it's starting to look like I'm making good progress. Hopefully it won't be too long until I reach the end. I may even post some photographs of the aftermath if you play your cards right.
