No Celica Driving For Me

[sotal]

In fact no car driving

I managed to bust my leg on Sunday Night and now have a full plaster cast

So I'm pretty much house bound.

[Bibbs]

Ouch .. what were you up to?

Take it, it's your right one .. or you'd be looking for an auto.

[sotal]

It's actually my left leg and I was looking at an auto but unfortunatley I'm a bit too tall and I can't find anything to fit my left leg in with it being so straight! I can't even get in the passenger side of the celica :(

Once the pain has gone a bit I might try my sisters Automatic Pajero to see if I can get in that.

Wasn't really up to much, just walked into a trailer whilst turning and a flat bit of plate metal hit my knee cap and dislocated it right round and it got stuck on the wrong side. It took them 4 hours to get it back in and after each attempt I was in even more pain! I broke my arm a couple of years back and this was 1000's of times more painfull!

[Chris.S]

I have a weak knee and it pops out every so often so i know how much it hurts

[daktari]

:crutchy: Ahh. Dude. Sorry to here it. That`ll be like double torture. No driving..... Ouchy. :( :crutchy:

Let`s hope it`s sorted ASAP.

[GT4 BOOSTER]

i hope you like football then . get well sooner

I was in a lot of pain when it popped out but I was in a lot more pain when they failed to put it back in! They gave me morphine and gas and air - which didn't seem to have any effect. Then when I got to the hospital they gave me the stuff to knock me out where they count backwards from 5 and you should be out. They gave me 4 shots of that in my arm and then couldn't give me any more so 4 of them grabbed my leg and just kept going at it till it went in.

Yep - I love driving as well :( Got to miss this months quarry outing in the landrover as well :(

i hope you like football then . get well sooner

That's the biggest problem - I'm not really a fan of football so TV's torture at the moment I normally use this time to get out and do stuff in the garden etc

!Removed! , sorry to hear that . No fun at all :(

With any luck it'll heal quick , just take it easy

I did that playing football, looked down and saw my knee somewhere it should'nt have been and moved it back, at the time I thought that it was not too bad until 10 mins later everything went bright, I threw up and passed out!

However for those who think its very painfull you want to try snapping all your ligaments in you leg, now that will make a grown man cry! 6 months on crutches and then learning to walk again for the next 6!

[MIP]

Oh dear, get well soon mate. See if you can hire the same physio Rooney's got, you'll be well in no time :)

[r_bridges24]

HEY SNAP, i broke my tibia and fibia im in a full leg cast, how irritating is it honested im so ****** off, not only that i did it playing cricket of all sports, cricket, i hate cricket i was talked into playing ahahahaa

[Jones~32]

Gutted for you mate, hope your back to normal asap

[Special Red]

I also broke my finger on a Chavs face, inconsiderate b@stard had teeth!

[celsteve]

Maybe he has a few less now though! :D

Sorry to hear that Sotal - I sprained my ankle at work a week ago and that hurts enough

I'd say you'll be on the pc all the time but I expect you're bored of that!!!

[selfbuild]

I kind of know of the pain your in.... broke my right leg a few years ago just below my knee joint.... the plaster cast went from my ankle to the top of my thigh..... makes going for a s**t intresting

I hope you've got a sutible height chair/whatever setup in your bathroom....

[ae111sr]

Sorry to hear that - hope it heals quickly. As for not driving - I'm haveing a knee replacement in about two weeks and I was told yesterday that I won't be able to drive for a minimum of SIX WEEKS - what a bummer

:!Removed!: I'd rather you didn't say "SNAP" Sorry to hear that though - it's a pain in the **** (well leg)

That's one of the things I am having real difficulty with Once I get on with a chair to support my leg - I've still got to get off afterwards without falling down . For whatever reason my quad muscle is doing absolutley nothing at the moment my leg just simply refuses to move. If I lie on my side I can lift my leg up and down but if I lie on my back or sit down it just won't move

Sorry to hear that - hope it heals quickly. As for not driving - I'm haveing a knee replacement in about two weeks and I was told yesterday that I won't be able to drive for a minimum of SIX WEEKS - what a bummer

Ouch - When I first went to hospital they told me it was going to be 6-7 weeks in the full plaster cast but I went back yesterday for a check up and they were optimistic that they could get it out quicker. Got to go back in a week though to find out as the swelling was too bad to see anything. They were talking about putting a pin through though to speed up removal of the cast - not sure if I want that

[sotal]

wahoo - the cast came off today! :D

Not sure if it's good or not though! It's now harder to walk and I have to be dead careful with it. The doctor said I should be ready to drive in 6 weeks I should be OK in an auto though - I think

So sort of good news but bad news at the same time :( I wanted to be driving by next week

[celsteve]

Wishful thinking mate! :D

At least the cast is off so you can have a real good itch on the gammy leg!! :D

6 more weeks is a long time to wait though :(

[sotal]

there's no chance it will be 6 weeks

I can't see any problem with driving an auto now as I don't need my left leg and it can bend out of the way now. I'll probably give it a couple of days then swap my celica for my sisters pajero auto for a few weeks :D

[celsteve]

I don't need my left leg

Well you should donate it to someone who actually does then!!! :D

Don't get too comfy in the Pajero :D

I'd rather not donate it yet - got a donor card though so it's up for grabs when I die
