Foot plaster
So that's what it looks like folks. I've done something to the ligament. Had a good doc who said "usually in Japan they recommend surgery, but if we put it in plaster for a few weeks it should mend by itself". They recommend surgery for obvious reasons - money into the coffers - but fortunately my guy has studied in the States and understood my (typically foreigner's) reluctance to spend time in hospital. The plastering was fun - none of the messy plaster of Paris stuff - he just wound the bandages around and it seemed to stiffen by itself. It probably does spell the end of my football playing days (no great loss to anyone unfortunately), but the doc says I won't have a problem skiing - except of course I do have problems skiing, but more lessons should sort that out. No?
Will the cast accommodate jibes, ditties and signatures of the nearly famous?

Posted by: Watty at November 10, 2003 06:20 PMSounds like you'll be getting that off just in time for the ski season as well.
Posted by: DJ at November 10, 2003 08:41 PMThanks Watty. I don't want to give up playing football, but even though skiing is probably more dangerous - especially if you ski like me - I think it is more fun than even scoring a goal.
Indeed the skiing season will be on us pretty soon after I'm out of plaster, but I think it will have to wait until the New Year before I head for the slopes.
