*UPDATE* On Ankle Injury!

[MJR]

Quick Update for anyone interested  

My physio has been going well since the cast came off about 3-4 weeks ago, still on crutches for about another month or so, then after that I'll still need to use a stick for a long time after that.
Then got my intensive 3 week Physio course at the end of June, then be back to normal weekly physio till the end of the new year.
So fingers crossed in the New Year I'll be back to reasonable normality except for the disability/movement of my foot.
Fun times  

A few recent pics:






Looks alot better than before

know how you feel fella, i've had 2 knee ops in the last year on the same knee (teach me to try and play like jt lol)

make sure you do all the exercises your physio tells you to do pal, they really really do help a huge amount! i know they kill like a femal dog and are a pain in the ass to do, but helps your recovery know end  hope you have a swift and safe recovery though!

It was a paintballing accident believe it or not lol

During one of the games, I managed to catch my foot in some roots whilst running for cover & in the process I snapped my ankle cleaned off from the leg joint. Basically the skin was the only part holding my foot on 

So now I have a plate in there holding the ankle to the fibula/tibula with 3 pins holding that all in place. I will be able to get back to some sort of normality eventually except for the fact I will have limited movement of my foot for the rest of my life, basically can only move my foot up & down slightly but side to side movement I have lost completely.

Sounds like an horrendous injury. Hope you're up and running around soon.

Funny you mention that lol

I did carry on and won the competition and got a certificate to prove it 

It was only after the days fun was over, I admit I cried a little  & thought hmmm this is serious I better get to hospital asap
