out of hospital

Had a compound fracture on my left knee, they have put two screws and a plate in it. Going to be in plaster caste for 12 weeks. the caste is from my toe to thigh so very restrictive.

Good news is I should be able to start running again in June and should be ok to ski next season. lets hopw this is the case.

Sorry to hear your news - it's always that last run or hour that gets you. Sad

Hi S.P.

No not me some other poor sole, I managed to get down the slopes and on the plane, went to hospital when I got back. Not sure how I managed it but think the adrenaline must have just kicked in.
