Here I am at home layed up for a couple of weeks

Eric,
there is no reason why you couldn't be layed up IN THE VEHICLE. Use the time profitably!

We have that happening almost every week.

We play in a Masters (Over 35) soccer comp down here.

You need almost two full teams , because you know halfway through , there will be broken bodies all over the place.

Hope you mend ok.

There have been 3-4 deaths down here in +35 footy of different forms lately... most people just head out back into it without training or thinking they are 15 yrs older than last time they played.

I know the stuck at home feeling.. since op on foot last Wednesday.. 8 days ago.. :(
Bored?

Eric, you're not expecting any sympathy are you? Well, you have mine; a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do, even just every now and then.

You'll have get the smarter one to kick you in the other shin so that the lumpy shin doesn't hurt so much.

Get well soon eh.

Leg the size of five ft. balls - or about 1500mm in the new money.....sounds real painful! Take care and keep moving them - you don't want a clot in em!

Andrew

Sorry Eric, but still laughing - especially as we were talking about you last week!
Robbie from Cairns 4WD Training was here. Hope you feel better soon - take notice of Big Kidz - he knows what he's talking about (if you met him you wouldn't reckon he would tho) - LOL LOL.

Well you can't be too carefull as you join the old f&rt$ club. don't have to be doing anything. 3.30am this morning, SWMBO gets up for a drink (We are both suffering from the flu badly) At the kitchen sink, feels woosey, passes out onto floor. Result 8 stitches in cut over eye and Little finger on L/H broken at right angles at knuckle joint. She is still in hospital waiting for the Ali Khan to come and discharge her. At least she will get paid for her lost time.

Eric,

Sorry to hear that you are not as mobile as you would like to be.
Lucky that the trips have not been affected.

I also have a old football injury, I was hit in the leg with an old football last week.

Get well soon

Wayne

Ha, and your laid up for a couple of weeks, I lucky to get laid twice a year.

No sympathy

Russell on the Road somewhere in tassie.

How's it going Eric

Just getting over a cracked vertabrae, I slipped down some stairs ( I wasn't thatbleephonest ).

Spent a month on the lounge , very bad !!!

Dont feel as young as I once did either..

Glenn

Well Eric unlike some others on this forum I would like to thank you.

Like you at the tender age of 46 I contemplated a return to the soccer field. The guys at work encouraged me in this. They needed extra players for the "B" grade team. So off I went to training. Not too bad I thought as I climbed in the car for the short drive home. When I had parked the car in the carport and opened the door I had the first of my many 2nd thoughts. Quite simply standing up hurt.

You have reinforced my decision NOT to play. I've picked up the whistle it is not nearly as much fun but at least I am on the field.

46 is nothing. 60 is the new age 40. All you need to do is keep yourself fit and keep your weight down and you will be playing when you are 60. More injuries are caused by lack of fitness and being overweight than hard tackles. Keep on playing.
