Be careful out there fellas

[deye243]

well just a quick note for all you's out there it 01:25 and I just got back from A and E

it was just supposed to be a simple spotlight trip for some rabbits and fox's .

but I ended up on my arse in the paddock just about passed out 25 yards from the

4by on the wrong side of the fence so I had to get back to the car through the fence

which is electrified Face palm ya see I rolled my ankle a beauty , the funny thing

is at the time it didn't really hurt but I broke out in a cold sweat and just about passed

out maybe something to do with my hart problems Oh well but I had to pack the

rifle away get through 2 gates and travel 25 mins to get home and get my son to

get me to the hospital any way the pic doesn't show how swollen it really is .

Ouch! The photo DOES show quite a bit of swelling. Glad it is a twist/sprain and not broken.

Speedy recovery to ya partner.

thanks ............. being in the country there's no xray after hours so I'm back in the morning to see what the go is

[wrenchman]

sorry for you ive done that mysilf i was about 300 miles from home ice it down and put your leg up

[bigpete]

Oh yeah that doesn't look swollen at all ! Bloody hell looks like you've had a baseball surgically implanted !

[juststarting]

Oh f***, no, photo definitely shows larger ankle than it should be! Hope it gets better. Neurofen + Panadol (1 to 2 of each depends on pain) will dull the pain for this kind of injury. Get better! Hope it just goes away :/

[deye243]

Thanks funny thing is it still doesn't hurt but I still have feeling in my toes

My thoughts exactly!

Hope it's all good and heals quickly.

Noice one D, hopefully it will be ok soon mate. It doesn't take much for a good day to turn bad hey, just a matter of a second between them!

Good luck with it mate, hopefully it won't be anything that keeps you out of the paddocks too long.

narh mate I'm still gunna be a wonky tri pod but they recon 6 weeks and then physio

been told things like that before but there is no way I can handle that long so I will need to find a

gate opener , and they like handing out the drugs up here I have told them no to endone and codine

about 10 bloody times but they still keep trying to shove it down your throat any wonder it's such a

problem on the street .
