Men and women...Mixed Footie at Peckham Rye Park

[binary_star]

Well I felt about as useful as a chocolate teapot today, but thank you Re-re for working your magic, I can feel the benefit aleady!

Laddy Muck how are you?? I hope you got home ok and are resting...or getting medical attention somewhere...?

[Laddy Muck]

I like chocolate tea-pots Binary. Hope you recover speedily.

Just got in from Kings' A & E. Suspected fractured (or even broken coccyx), as well as whiplash and possible concussion. So no football or other sports for a while, I'm afraid. Thanks for getting my brother and walking me to his van Re-re, he drove me to Kings and stayed with me the whole time and we have just returned. I've been spoilt rotten with maltersers and toblerones - so silver lining and all of that. Have a ton of drugs to take; they wanted to keep me in overnight and put me on liquid morphine but buggar that! So I have the option to go and receive the morphine tomorrow instead. I think I'll be OK with the standard drugs - we'll see.

I hope I didn't spoil the game too much and that you still had fun. Am going to miss playing with you guys

What on earth went on last night? I thought it was football not UFC!

Phil and I can't make this Saturday as we're visiting my folks up North. Maybe a good thing considering what must have happened last night!

[michelle-b]

Hope you're feeling better today LM. Did they give you a special cushion? X

[Thomas Micklewright]

Im up for the football. I have running from 10am - 11am but will see you all at 11am outside the cafe - yep I know it, (they are taking part in DMFD!).

I would love to play wed night but have something on for the next 10 weeks on wednesday.

Did someone mention combat training, id like to do some of that - i think Ive still got pads and gloves as well, if anyone is interested in some pad work?

Tom

[Sue]

Sorry posted by mistake!

[michelle-b]

Great to have you on board Tom! :-)

[binary_star]

Oh Jill, LM and Tom (not Micklewright) collided and LM hit the floor. All I know is it looked painful. I didn't have anything like as dramatic an injury, a combination of nephews + trampoline seems to have given me back grief...rather pathetic really. Still, hope to be there Saturday fingers crossed.

[binary_star]

LM, I've never injured it myself but I've heard that coccyx fractures are extremely painful! Cushions all round :(

I'd say go for the morphine, even if you don't use it, would they let you take it home - I bet you could get a tenner for it on the highstreet haha :D

Oh and purely by cioincidence I came across this and thought it might cheer you up: Rimming - an Introduction

Since you are out of action for a while you could scrub up on your glass rimming technique??

I hope you get better soon xxx

[Undisputedtruth]

Hope you get better soon LM.

I guess injuries are inevitable when playing on astro turf.

[Laddy Muck]

Awww thanks guys....and for all the kind PMs too. Concussion taken hold today: blackouts and vomiting - NICE! But, I am a stubborn cow, and I intend to get well soon!

[chocka]

Gutted LM. Will miss your 'special' rule book. Get yourself back ASAP x shem

[Laddy Muck]

Awww, thanks Shem. x

Good news. Just returned from A & E (again). Had a brain CT Scan: brain normal! The blackouts and vomiting have been put down to concussion/shock. Phew!

[Thomas Micklewright]

we just need trainers right, dont need football boots? see you all at 11am tomorrow.

Tom

[michelle-b]

Hey Tom,

We pretty much play in trainers at this time of year except for a couple of guys who prefer studs. It's up to you.

See you tomorrow!

[Thomas Micklewright]

Gd to meet you guys this morning sorry I couldn't stay for more than a few mins, should be able to make next sat, tbc

Tom

[michelle-b]

Great to meet you Tom and the other new guys!

I'm sooooo tired after today's game, but it was worth the effort to beat our new rivals 3 - 2! Turns out we're a force to be reckoned with ;)

Remember kick off is at 7.30 on Wednesday not 7. See those of you playing then :)

LM - hope you're back with us soon, you were missed!

[Re-re]

was a great game today....very competitive and we pulled out all the stops to win :) Great team we are!

Marie, yes, you were truly missed. How are you? How are you coping with the pain etc? Is it getting better?

Hope to see you again very soon as it is too quiet without you xxx

[Laddy Muck]

I missed you guys too! Felt quite sad at 11.00 o'clock today. But glad you had such a great time on such a beautiful of days.

I am getting better. The really vile concussion symptoms of passing out/vomiting have completely gone away and I am eating like a gannet once more. Tony brought back some very expensive chocolate from Paris - which helps - of course! He's also done the weekly shop and he's out getting fish and chips as I type. Friends/neighbours are being quite amazing/supportive too, with emails, calls, visits and offers of all of kind including cooking/cleaning. I am incredibly lucky.

As for the fractured coccyx - fukk me! I have NEVER, EVER known such pain! Thank heavens for the latest drugs! It's going to be a while before I can play again (just getting dressed is a frustrating ordeal at present), but hey - I can finally catch up on all those programmes I have been taping for years, read those books friends have lent me and go out for (more) coffee and cake. Which reminds me...I need to get ready for a party LOL!

Thanks for all your nice messages; on here, via PM and on Facebook. See you all soon - for sure, lovely people.(tu)

PS: who are these "new rivals"?

[Undisputedtruth]

Definitely recommend Re-re's healing hands. My leg feels so much better and spent the afternoon cycling around Surrey Quays.

[Re-re]

glad it helped! :) Sorry cannot do much for broken bones but can help with the soft tissue part once six weeks gone by Marie. will be happy to help. x
