Hello everyone…

I am just writing this to give you all an update on my injury and progress.

The actual injury was as such… a broken fibula in 3 places which required a plate, i dislocated my ankle which in turn meant i did my syndesmosis joint and lateral ligament along with a couple more bits. All in all i have done a proper job on it!

Anyway… on the positive side the operation went well and i am now 3 weeks post surgery and my staples have been removed. It’s now all about swelling prevention and getting my ankle moving once again. These next few weeks/couple of months are the key to the recovery.

As for a time scale on return to play I’m afraid it is too early to say, the first targets in mind are getting me back on my 2 feet again and making sure its right.

One thing is for sure and that is i shall not be partaking in anything more during 2022…however I cannot wait for what 2023 holds!!

Thanks for your support as always!! JMB
