Greenwich Blade Out For The Season

[sitwell]

Fever Ditch?

Greenditch Blade ,bloody attention seeker , did you mention the Cardiacs ,is that why they are flapping about ?
All the best.

It's tomorrow now. Not looking forward to it, but then I've just been through the MRI scanner and they made me listen to Magic FM whilst I was in there so things could be a lot worse.

At least ya didn't have pitsmoor pillock phoning in or Mick the rawmarsh fowl.....

 

[Blackheath Blade]

Life can be a slippery slope sometimes Adrian. Hope the op goes well mate and I wish you a speedy recovery.

 

[Kenilworth]

Yep, daft sod that I am my attempt to hitchhike to the game today resulted in me rupturing a quadricep in the process of coming to grief on a Motorway embankment by the M1 sliproad near Watford. I heard it snap as I slipped and went arse over tit. My prone position meant I was hidden from sight in brambles with the ambulance crew taking a whole hour to find me.

Eventually they found a very wet, cold silly twat lying in brambles still wearing his Blades Santa hat, unable to straighten his leg and in excruciating pain. They needed two ambulance crews, a police car, then the Highways Agency who closed the sliproad whilst they carted me into the ambulance, me pumped full of gas making me feel like yer average Hawkwind fan on a very good night.

I spent all afternoon in Watford General and all evening in St Peter's Hospital Chertsey after my wonderful Hull City supporting friend Michael sprung me from Watford. We had something to eat at his before the St Peter's part of the adventure.

And now they're keeping me in overnight, possibly to operate in the morning. So it's a career ending injury possibly, but as I haven't turned out for the Internet Blades in 15 years I don't think anyone will worry too much about that.

Bloody Hell, mate.
Thought I was bad with a cold and doing my back in this weekend but bloody hell, feller.
Get well soon.

 

[Digs blade]

Next time buy a car. You’ll find it easier in the long run

 

[GRUMPY BLADE]

It was scary at times and yet I couldn't shake the feeling throughout that here was a great story in the making.

Are you streaming the op?



All the best with it.

 

[Bruce Wayne]

Any excuse not go GB.

 

[Roygbiv]

[MancBlade85]

We used it. Still took them an hour to find me - I always won at Hide And Seek.

Greenditch Blade ,bloody attention seeker , did you mention the Cardiacs ,is that why they are flapping about ?
All the best.

I did, when they asked me about cardiac-something-or-other. It went over their heads like my Comfortably Numb Pink Floyd reference.

 

[Greenwich Blade]

And now, the good news!

The worst thing about the MRI Scan was they made me listen to Magic FM whilst I was in there. The best thing was it showed it was a Partial Quadriceps Avulsion From Patella which they prefer to treat without an operation. So I'm off Nil By Mouth again and tucking into some toast for breakfast.

They are replacing my cricket-pad splint with a hinged brace which will prevent me from putting it back on incorrectly - well, I put it on like a cricket pad so what did they expect? Might even by discharged today.

Good news mate. The knee is not the best thing to be operated on, I know from experience.

 

[SherburnBlade]

That's good news (all things considered)

Partial Quadriceps Avulsion From Patella

Sounds like an album title from your neck of the musical woods!

Speedy recovery

Was going to say get well soon, but after reading that, it seems you have got what us older types would call a nasty sprain.

 

[Mad Mick]

Feck me when I was young we used to go to matches with two broken legs. I was on the Kop in the 60's up to my kneck in muck and bottle. Younguns these days are as hard as ice cream. Get well soon mate.

 

[diode_blade]

Are you streaming the op?



All the best with it.

I could open the chatroom for that, we could discuss the advantages of overlapping scalpels and surgeons with high press matrons.....

 

[Greenwich Blade]

There was no op in the end. The MRI Scan showed that it wasn't quite as bad as originally thought so they decided to postpone for at least a week and discharged me. I am currently at home trying to work out how to get about on crutches.

I do a course on using crutches. Upstairs lead with the good leg, downstairs lead with the bad one.

 

[Sharrowblade]

My lads still recall the time we gave you a lift to Southend. Thought you were brilliant company, ….speedy recovery mate

 

[I should coco]

My lads still recall the time we gave you a lift to Southend.

Credit to you, taking him on holiday with you.

IIRC he was hitching down to Cornwall for the pre-season friendlies, so you and your lads did a hell of a job dragging him in the car and taking him the other way.

That was it. I remember it with "Good things go up (United), bad things go down (Wednesday after a points deduction)."

Sorry to hear about this mate ,did you look like grealish when you went down though

I probably did. It was a proper comedy cartoon bananaskin type slip.

You got much better treatment than I did when I ruptured mine, I didn't even get crutches!

Mend well and have a good Christmas mate and whatever you do, don't rush back into doing anything, it'll be weak for a while (as I found out the hard way!)

Only trouble is now we are getting to a certain age of maturity IT fukin Hurt's

 

[Greenwich Blade]

Knee update. Well looked after at matches by getting the best seat in the ground at Brighton, and a seat on Row 1a in the South Stand, ideal for making giant 'V' signs to the Wet Spam fans with my crutches. My leg immobiliser is the best thing ever, especially as I can use it as a practice pad when drumming on my leg with pens.

And here's the show where I tell the whole sorry tale, starting with Stepping In A Slide Zone by the Moody Blues, then two songs by Pink Floyd, One Slip and Comfortably Numb.

 

[The Crab]

Get well soon mate
