Wounded warrior

So I wanted to play basketball at least once a month this year. Well it is Sunday and I thought I should go and meet the target for the month.

5 minutes into the game. Some bozo missed the shot so I had to get up there and grab the damn ball. Got the ball and felt a pop in my right knee and another pop.:eek:

Ohhhhhh……:( :( :( :( :(

Saw the doctor right away and lucky nothing is broken. It could have been a lot worse. I will be on crutches for a while, no work, no shed time.:( Well at least I can chat with you lot all day long now. Could it be the end of my playing time? I hope not.:(

Oh dear lord what have I done to deserve this? Why does it always happen to good honest citizen? I am sure there are plenty of bastxxx out there God can punish but why me???

It is hurting so much:( :( :( and I think I need a hug.:( :( :( :(

Perhaps you should have gone to church instead? :p :D

Hope your prayers are answered and you're up'n'atit real soon Scott :)

Cheers
Tikki :)

Scott, be glad you're not in a cast. otherwise when you walked you would go...














Wait for it.......















Wong - bok Wong - bok Wong - bok :D

Don't worry Scott, it only hurts when we laugh:D

Know how you feel being laid up for no good reason, at least them cats around your place will heave a sigh of releif...........:p

Al :D

Only 35 too! It's normally post-40 you fall apart, you're an early achiever Wongo!

So is it cruciate or medial?

This is your body trying to tell you something.

Sorry to hear 'bout your injury mate. Have a get well soon greenie. :D

Wongo
Hope you get well soon.
Remember the Panadine fort(sp)

ps: You can hobble out to the wood work.
All you need to do is get the nail gun out and fix a board down the side of the leg so the knee does not bend.;)

Oh how awful!! <_< here's the hug everyone seems to have neglected to give you, poor thing
&&&&&&{Wongo}}}}

Don't forget, there's always the sketch pad :D You could could brainstorm the next project ;)
Now I'm no rocking horse expert.... by far! but when I was laid up with the reconstruction of my husbands childhood horse on my mind, I took out my sketch pad, and designed it some costumes, I'm no seemstress either, so mum is currently in the process of creating them. There is a knight's charger cape, and a circus outfit, and when I was bored with that, I started creating little accesories, out of model ply, cardboard, and papier mache, like a little water bag, and billy for a stackhorse outfit, and a troopers hat for a light horse outfit, a unicorns horn....... Now the kids can dress the horse up, to match their dress ups, which is great!
(When I finally get it finished)

get well soon, and stay sane ;) Ratbag

Thanks guys.:)

After nearly 30 years playing ball, this is the first time I have hurt my knee. Busted both ankles and was on crutches for 3 months each time. My back is like 50 years old (just like WB’s:p ). So this is something new to me.

Will try to see a specialist ASAP. I think I will be grounded for at least 6 months. The worst part of being injured is not the pain but the memory of the moment the joint cracks.:o

I not sure if I will play again but it is so hard to give up something I’ve done all my life. I still think I can give those youngsters a good run.:cool: It is probably just tough luck or I did not warm up probably. After all 35 is still nothing.:cool:

Tough stuff, Scott!

But belay all that negative stuff about giving it up. You're 35 and you're right - that's nothing!

So you're crocked for a while. Very frustrating but don't start thinking you can't play again or you never will. The mission is to keep as fit as possible while you're unable to play - so talk to a sports physio who can design a fitness regime for you. That'll help get you back to fitness more quickly and back on court again as soon as.

DAMHIK all this stuff! :rolleyes:

Good luck!

Awww mate!

I'm not much into "touchie feelie" things, but have a hug anyway. and take care of that knee. Meanwhile, spark up some nice new woodie things.

Cheers Mate!

Been a while since i play basketball .. bit if someone misses a shot doesnt it end up on the ground? where were you grabbing the ball from?

You could always buy a scrollsaw and sit in front of that for a while :D

Geez Wongo - rough roll of the dice there mate! Hope you feel better soon. At least you get more time at home with your family. Hope you are back up and walking without pain very soon.

cheers
Wendy

Oh Brett it is called a rebound dude:cool:

Thanks driver for the advice, just send me an invoice sir.:p

Well I had a sleep-in, got up and said goodbye to the girls. Booked a time to see a specialist at 4:15. Cooked my some bacon and egg.:D

Yes it is very frustrated being disabled. Maybe it time for me to settle down and do some soul searching, to find the real me. Hey maybe I should do some meditation or do some of that ‘Far Lone Gone” stuff:D or is it “Fart Long Gone”?:D
