Bloody hell OG, you're not going to have a wash are you?

I didn't get in either which is good as I'm only just about walking limp free!

Wonder if they'll be popping in later for a beer and the ritual post-mara telling of the astronaut joke?

Hi Mark, really pleased you've not done the acl (again!).

My surgeon and physio are both great advocates of cycling for knee rehab. I ended up buying a turbo trainer and setting up my mountain bike in front of the telly!

Hope it all goes well.

Hi Mark

I injured my left knee in a ski fall in April. I badly ruptured my medial ligament and snapped my anterior cruciate....doh! As long as you haven't snapped it completely then the medial ligament will get better on its own, but may be painful for 6 months. Lots of ice and keep it moving.

If your fall had a twisting component, and especially if your weight was backwards, then you may need to get the ACL looked at. Did you hear a popping sound as you fell? A good physio should be able to tell by doing a Lachman test. hopefully it's in one piece as unfortunately surgery is the only solution if you want to do sports like footie or skiing! I'm now 6 weeks post-op!

Best wishes

Looks like it's just me and you Daz, a baldy cripple and a baldy banker - whoo hoo - let's get this party started!
