back on my feet

feeling great tonight took marley for a walk on my own tonight. mid december i took him for his late night walk, nothing unusual, went the usual route. then when he had done his thing i bent down to clear it up, he got around the back of me, then he charged at something and the steel chain went crack around my ankle, took me over an hour to get home. next day went to the hospital and he'd managed to tear all the muscle etc in my leg. spent xmas on crutches, they said 3 months, it's been 6 weeks and i'm ready to go(kind of) can't wait for the long summer walks. thanks to anita my wife for taking over the walks, even got a thank you off a Labrador owner for keeping marley to my side away from his dog

ooouch that must have caned! sounds like you are recovering well, don't over do it though!

Sounds like serious stuff! Glad you are on the mend, but take it easy so you make a full recovery.

glad you are on the mend

Glad to hear you recovered faster than expected.

Ouch !!! Glad you're on the road to recovery

Ouch! sounds painful. Glad it's healing well:)

Painfull. Pleased to hear your on the mend but don't overdo it.

I can't wait for long summer walks also

Oooh, that made my eys water!

As everyone esle has said, don't overdo it - make sure you're fully recovered before you run the next marathon!

thanks all. just got back from physio, they were impressed at the speed my ankle has healed, so hopefully next week they said should be my last session
