Christ fellas you two have been lucky! hope you two are up and about in a short while! My advice is to ebay bits for your 306/ or your other make of car, while your out of action and chat to toms306!
RE: Get well soon Jonny176783437!!1! and Ed - Strikeforce - 01-01-2015
WOW
Hope you both have a speedy recovery
RE: Get well soon Jonny176783437!!1! and Ed - Jonny81191 - 01-01-2015
You most definitely did that properly, sounds horrible man! Here's hoping that you manage to recover as fully as possible, I'd hate to be unable to do what I want due to an injury like that!

Now there's an incentive to get better!!
Bloody hell, Ed, that sounds awful! Without graphic detail lol, whats the next op you're having? Is that a plate or something?
RE: Get well soon Jonny176783437!!1! and Ed - Niall - 01-01-2015
Ive got some pics Ed has sent me and asked me to put on here which i will do in a bit. Just give you lot enough time to have your breakfast and manage to keep it down
RE: Get well soon Jonny176783437!!1! and Ed - Matt-Rallye - 02-01-2015
How big a breakfast is everyone having? C'mon Niall
Speedy recoveries all round hopefully! But this demonstrates perfectly why being 'healthy' and 'active' is seriously overrated
RE: Get well soon Jonny176783437!!1! and Ed - Niall - 02-01-2015
Sorry, forgot about these!

RE: Get well soon Jonny176783437!!1! and Ed - Matt-Rallye - 02-01-2015
That looks fairly savage i must say!
RE: Get well soon Jonny176783437!!1! and Ed - lolsteve - 02-01-2015
Owch, bit late to the party but seriously hope you two get well soon. Although not might seem it right now but you both got very lucky that you got away with what you did
RE: Get well soon Jonny176783437!!1! and Ed - Ed Doe - 30-01-2015
Well I made it out of hospital after 25 days on 13th January! Four operations, and I reckon more than 24hours under general anaesthetic in total!
This is from the first major op to fix my bone with a titanium plate, and to bolt two of my ligaments back on where they had snapped their bone anchor points off rather than the ligaments actually snapping:
[attachment=21420]
These two are after the last op where they nicked ligament from my good leg to create a new rear cruciate as I'd snapped my old one so badly. They also repaired the ligament running down the outside of my leg, and checked the nerve, and fixed the ligaments which anchor some of my muscles to the knee as they'd snapped too...
[attachment=21419]
[attachment=21421]
So the good news is all my ligaments have been repaired and the bones have too. I'm in a velcro cast with a hinge set to a maximum of 60degrees, but I can't bend my knee past 45 degrees at the minute.
They've told me my cartilage on top of my shin bone was badly damaged and will need replacing with a cartilage graft inside the next 5 years or so.
Apart from that they have said the injury is so rare they cannot say for sure what level of mobility I'll have. They have said I should be able to run in a straight line, and drive a manual (crucially important that!), but that I may not play hockey again due to the fast direction changes required. We'll see, I'm useless at taking no for an answer so will try stuff when I've properly recovered and see how I get on!
Recovery now is 6 weeks from the last op (7th Jan) with no weight bearing at all. Then 6 weeks of partial weight bearing. After 3 months I'm allowed my velcro cast off but will likely need my crutches still as I wont be up to full weight bearing. They estimate I will be walking without crutches by around June...
In other news, I'm sure you'll be amused to know my dad has nicked my Z4 on some vague pretence that it needs to be used regularly to keep it in tip top condition, and keeps texting me winding me up about driving it. NOT cool!
Anyway, thought you guys might like some gory pics. I'm gonna try and make it to Forge, hopefully see you there in April! Might have my cast off by then; who knows!

ahhhhh gorry pics D:
RE: Get well soon Jonny176783437!!1! and Ed - Ed Doe - 30-01-2015
Lol, I don't even know how may stitches I've had... too many to bother counting! And I've been nice, I haven't even posted the other scars I've got from where the external fixator pins went into my leg!
RE: Get well soon Jonny176783437!!1! and Ed - 7057sam - 30-01-2015
Nice to see you and jonny are on the road to recovery,hope to see you at forge
RE: Get well soon Jonny176783437!!1! and Ed - Niall - 30-01-2015
But titanium is lighter than bone so it's a winner situation right?
Welcome to hop in with me to Combe in April.
See what I did there? Hop in....
Where's my coat?
RE: Get well soon Jonny176783437!!1! and Ed - Ed Doe - 30-01-2015
Cheers guys
Niall I may take you up on that... will keep you posted! I don't think I'll be able to camp really, so that might mean I can't come with you if you're planning on camping? But yeah we'll work it out closer to the time, when I know more about what I'll be allowed to do with my effing leg!

RE: Get well soon Jonny176783437!!1! and Ed - Niall - 30-01-2015
Yeah i won't be camping. At best a hotel but can't really afford that shit these days so probably just go up for the day
RE: Get well soon Jonny176783437!!1! and Ed - Dum-Dum - 30-01-2015

Surprised you haven't been moaning that its not eccentric compbrake titanium replacement bone or carbon fiber at the very least.
