Apologies for the lack of posts this week. You may remember that last week I posted that I had been airlifted off a rugby pitch with a suspected neck injury. Fortunately for me everything was OK but this week didn’t end so well. I played rugby again this week in Leyburn, North Yorkshire and unfortunately smashed my ankle braking the tibia and making a right mess of the ligaments.
As a result of the injury I was again taken by ambulance (Ordinary, not air this time!) and had an operation on Monday to pin, plate and screw my ankle in place. I only got out of hospital on Wednesday on tramadol, diclofenac and paracetamol and will be in plaster for eight weeks.
Tome to move from playing to coaching I think and I’m sure I’ll have time to post a bit more over the coming weeks.

PL-UK – for all the best ambulance rides!
PS I was contacted by a member of the rugby club this morning to say that the players are taking bets on how I will be taken home this weekend. Apparently fire engine is favourite!
