Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

I always thank my lucky stars when I return from my skiing trips un-injured - some of our regular sH's are having such bad luck Sad

Good luck tomorrow . . . soooon the drugs will make you feel muuuch better Twisted Evil It took me a couple of days to work it out but you can shower with your cast knee on a stool and the shower curtain draped over the back of you knee (cast outside). Get a big bathmat if you don't have one and one of those rubber anti-slip shower tray mats ... and ... ahem ... be careful when getting up from a dump, it's dead easy to forget and put weight on your forefoot .

hedley, you don't want to know about the after effects of a general anesthetic, hospital food and lying/sitting on your butt for a week or 12 Confused Twisted Evil If he's cute I'm sure a nurse will be along to assist . . . the only comment I got was "try giving birth" and "don't make so much fuss, you're disturbing the visitors".

pot off yesterday. saw the surgeon last nght. nil by mouth from 3am. until i was told mid morning to take some tablets - and so discovered i was off nil-by- mouth - and today's list. promptly contacted firm's health insurance, and found that they would take me on. advised nursing staff, but still here. so i have been blocking a bed i don't need - but can't escape. with an unpotted ruptured tendon.

Now they'll probably want to swab you for MRSA before they'll move you to a private hospital - unless they do private stuff at the hospital you're in. Good luck with the surgery, tho, & hope you're not hanging round for too long.

Nick Zotov, Bit late, and I know we haven't met or spoken but gutted to see a fellow-EOSB-er injured. Brings it home that it can happen anytime. Speedy recovery mate.

Nick Zotov, what exactly do you mean by "pot off"? I've only ever seen that expression used by a flowerpot man who's undressed.

All the best for a successful operation.

Back home, in a loose cast for 2 weeks, then have sutures out, and go into gizmo leg brace to have my foot angle progressively reset over another 5 weeks - all going well.

Then physio and all the rehab stuff stuff.

Nick Zotov, Keep working to the plan. It will get easier as the pain from surgery goes. Then its just muscle pain as you get them working again. Hope your Physios are as good looking as mine are. wink

Nick Zotov, Welcome home . . . now the fun begins Laughing Bricks under the foot of the bed to reduce edema and trying to figure out how to function with what feels like a breezeblock stuck to your leg and then told to treat it as gently as a wee bairn rolling eyes

Take care and keep us up to date.

100 hops was my physio target: couldn't imagine it at first, but I got there in the end.

I still do my calf-stretching exercises 12 years on - partly out of habit and partly because the ankle area is still a bit stiff first thing in the morning.

Best of luck, Nick.

Nick Zotov, glad to catch up on your news after a superb week in Tignes. Although I was a bit equivocal about operation or not in posts above, I personally would want the op!

All the best with the rehab.
