I hope you guys come to meetups, we could have some hella good times. Caught an eyelid, that's one of the most hillarious things I've ever heard.

Am I not enough Robbie? Eh? Eh?! :bawling:

I tore my ankle ligament (the talo-fibular one) and it was pretty messed up. Out for 6 and a half months. The first time I kicked a ball afterwards was the trials for Hild Bede. I still don't feel fully fit, and I've lost at least a yard of pace. At least I can still play though (and I was rather fast to start with so it's not too bad). Being injured for a long time is the worst thing ever. Soul destroyingly depressing.

Don't talk to me about injuries :frown:

I had one operation today and was meant to have a knee op in sept, but I didn't fancy being on crutches in Durham so am having it 6 days before Christmas instead....so am having to grin and bear the pain for 4 more months :frown:

MORE than enough my dear. But if other people come then it will keep us initial cool ones on our toes, and we'll be EVEN COOLER. OMG.

yeah I know, I had several smalll injuries before..which included broken bone in arm, and achilles problems..but tearing the anterior cruciate ligament in my knee was probably the worst injury and worst life experience so far.) ...i got the injury IN OCTOBER 2005 (btw - IT WAS A BRIT WHO INJURIED ME :smile:

)))!! and was only operated in April, so i missed quite a bit of football, and hence lost my place in the team :frown:

but i should start in October..so perfect timing for uni football :wink:

...

sorry rachel for coming back to injuries....ur not the only one having a knee surgery...i need to have one too..probably a week before freshers week ..they want to remove my screws from my knee :frown:

So i agree - "collective :frown:

We are all immensely cool. Cooler than Smarties Ice Creams infact. And you can't get much cooler than those bad boys!

Must say as well that everyones achievements so far are making me very insecure, reinforcing my opinion that i have no business here in the first place.

Well done people :biggrin:

You have no business HEEEEEERE, Gandalf the GREEEEY

I'm sorry, that just popped into my head. And don't be silly - you got in, thus you are Durham worthy and, therefore, the ****. Group hug!

Re: horrid accidents, last summer holiday in Spain on the second day I fell into the pool (totally sober, might I add, just to make it worse) and somehow took lots of skin off the bottom of my big toe and the side of my foot. (The skin itself was left on the side of the pool - God knows what happened to it.) Cue hysteria - after pain and doctors and all manner of horrid things that I won't sicken everyone by going into detail about, I spent the rest of the holiday in a wheelchair hired from a Spanish pub (?) and couldn't really walk for the rest of the summer. To make matters worse, one of our friends turned into a psycho and after one argument left me in the street in my wheelchair at about 3am. At the bottom of a hill.

That was the worst holiday ever.

Thanks. Yeah I had an MRI but although it showed the cartilage damage, it didn't show the extent of the ligament damage.....apparently it was 'unconclusive'..... :frown:

So am having keyhole to find out and sort it out.....was meant to be having it next month, but they wanted to do it 4 days before I'm going back to Durham, and I didn't fancy being on crutches for weeks in Durham. So am having it 6 days before Christmas instead....joy. So will just have to grin and bear the pain! Really really hope it's not snapped.....reeeeeeally don't want to have a reconstruction :dong:

. Will have to have a cast from hip to ankle for 6 weeks.....I had oen for a bit when I did it....and let me tell you it's not very fun flying with one of those horrible things on! :frown:
