Broken Bones..

[Bolter]

Nothing major, but the last 2 things I broke were my thumb (writing/tiling hand) and I cracked my heel bone.

The thumb was awkward as I was told to have a few weeks off, but I couldnt afford that, so I worked really slowly left handed for a week or so. Wasnt ideal, but I got through it. Broke it playing footy 🙁

Heel bone, what a pain! At a party, someone had a really old phone and decided to smash it on the floor for a laugh. People were taking it in turns to try, and me being drunk and confident said "stand back, I got this!", placed the phone on the floor and leapt in the air and striking with my heel. Phone obliterated into small pieces, but I was dropped to the floor clutching my foot! Hurt SO much! And recovery was slow. No cast as could just about walk on it, and they dont for heels, and cause I was using it, had a numb pain for about 15 weeks!

As a kid, I broke my right arm up near the shoulder playing footy, broke my wrist being stupid on a school trip.

Which? The heel bone? Yes, like I say, the pain was with me for many weeks. Felt pretty weird!

to many to mention.i was out with a broken leg and snaped cruciate ligament for 4 months in total, had to have a full knee reconstruction, times were hard, even had to sell my van, all playing rugby, im still playing now, stupid i know, here is my latest injury, the specialist says i need an op asap, all the ligaments in the finger are knackered and its as bent as an arabs dagger, the finger next to it with the small scar has got a metal rod and pins in, gives me jip when tiling sometimes, just cant afford to down tools at the mo
