Piggy down, trotter broken

[Piggy]

So...

6 months off from football, go back, break my foot.
Sprinting in a straight line, foot inverted, ligament pulled joint apart. 

Bugger.

6 weeks off.

Freaking out coz:

1) I'm self employed and tide cottage
2) I get bored after a day of rest

Properly irrtated coz:

1) can't work on car(s)
2) can't drive cars

I'm hoping after a couple weeks I can get in the shed and start tinkering with heart of new project

Got quite a bit of footage to sort through aswell

[Dum-Dum]

You'll be able to start doing some bits at work quite quickly, the boots are quite easy to walk in.

[cully]

Pulled pork or Ham roll?

Ah I see, at least there's something to do then.

Shame it wasn't a pulled hamstring tbh, more appropriately named and heals quicker...

Shit luck mate

I fractured my elbow 3 weeks ago went back to work after a week couldn't handle the sitting around and doing nothing.

[Piggy]

Whilst I WANT and NEED to work asap...
My foot is rather crucial

Made anything out of youtube yet.

My mate at work has started a channel and all he goes on about is posts and subs

still.... at least youll have time to do videos.

Yeah I do have a ton of footage to go through...not sure 6 weeks worth though.


Anyone had experience of ways to speed up the healing?

Nope, I keep well away from any dangerous sports where I might get injured...

I know people that have though, I guess it depends how badly you do it maybe.

Yes, give it a week and a half and call the virtual fracture clinic at about 4:45 on a Friday afternoon and they'll say anything to get you off the phone and will tell you that you don't need to wear the boot as long as you take it easy (no sport).

bad crac that is piggy, build model cars instead or one of those remote control trucks.

I imagine having a calcium rich diet and getting to bed early and getting lots of sleep would probably help, but I'm not a medical professional.

Shit luck mate, I crushed my finger on the first day back at work of 2016 and broke it, but that's nothing compared to a broken foot.

When you are up and about I'll be wanting some flocked bits at some point so that could be something to do!

May have to sell the racetractor I think

Because you've hurt your foot? Man the f*ck up you poof.

[Piggy]

Sod off JJ, you don't know me or what I do or the damage and resulting fall out with my employers.

Here is me manning up... Why don't you just not bother commenting on all my threads in future? Unless you have something nice to say?

It's an open forum James.

It's a complete pain in the arse hurting yourself, especially something like your leg & doubly when you do a physical job. So I massively feel for you and wish you the very best for a speedy recovery.

The thing that makes me laugh is that you blatantly posted that to get a reaction. You simply won't sell it because you've hurt your foot, I'd put money on it.

Now collect up your toys, put them back in your pram & lets all be 306 enthusiasts again.

[Piggy]

I did...wanted to "put it out there"...

But its looking likely I will need to.

No income for 6 weeks and my main job has a tide cottage... So no work=no house.

So may need the funds to pay someone to help me to do my job.

I cant see any other way round it at the mo. And the racetractor will have its end this year at some point anyway. Just earlier than I planned

Piggy have you not got savings to help you while you are on the pat and mick?

Piggy have you not got savings to help you while you are on the pat and mick?

Nope. 

I've invested too heavily in family and cars....hence breaking open an "investment" lol

I should be alright, but just have to change my plans a little. 

Annoying thing is obv I can't break it for parts as can't work on to split parts down!! Lol

Sorry to hear this, my two cents are. Bank loan for a couple of grand. Then 0% credit card transfer. Should cover you assuming you have okay credit and a way to pay it back.
good luck. G

dont go back to work too quick! I broke my ankle earlier in the year and went back to work doing 'light duties' in the boot thing after 2 or 3 weeks, cant remember which - being an ag mechanic the light duties didnt last too long and getting a fair bit of shit from it now the cold weathers here... wishing i gave it a bit more time to recover. Saying that, get well soon!

[Piggy]

Thanks man

[twangy]

been there done that , done lower leg in three  places , june 2014  and still not back at work , no quick fix , and having to take company to court , so no income , the worst was not being able to drive and being able to do nothing , so 6 weeks does not sound to bad , but no what your going through , hope you get speedy recovery , and get by money wise
