I haven’t posted since last weekend, as I’ve been upset and too angry to post for the last few days.
This is what happened last Saturday…
I was really looking forward to my friend, Steve’s wedding last weekend. Everything was primed for it, had all my stuff dry cleaned and I really wanted to see him getting married and having one of the best days of his life. Especially with the fact that I missed his stag do because of the head injury.
Anyway, my friend rang me last Saturday to ask me if I could cover for his football team, and he promised me that we’d be finished by lunchtime, so that I could go to the wedding and have no problems. About 80% through the game, some absolute dickhead jumps in at me two-footed. I’m not the kind of person that jumps out of a tackle, so I went for the ball as well. Unfortunately he went straight over the ball and into my right ankle, turning it over and seeming to rip it in the process. I was down on the floor in agony for a good few minutes and it was obvious that I couldn’t carry on. A friend’s dad rang my mum and she took me into Hospital. They suggested (after a good 2 hours of waiting) that it was a fracture. This is at 1pm, so I’m just willing them to chuck a cast on so that I can then go to the wedding. So I sit by the X-Ray area…for an hour, then two….then three. At this point, I’d just be happy if I could make it to the reception. They took a ridiculous amount of time and the immigrant fella who finally did the X-Ray couldn’t speak any English at all. Absolute twat!
I got home at 9pm and by that time I had just given up. There was no fracture in the leg as predicted. Just really sore and an absolute bastard to get rid of!

Head injury? And then this. Oh my goodness - so sorry you missed the big day. It is really sweet that is was so important to you.
Good luck with the next few weeks!

It was a pretty awful thing to happen as I managed to miss most of things that I REALLY wanted to see and do. I haven’t seen Steve for a few months and I’m still gutted that I missed his wedding.
I’m hoping he’ll understand, as he hasn’t emailed or replied to any text messages I’ve sent him

Apologies for lack of response mate…..have been off work for the best part of 3 months with a back injury (slipped disc & sciatica) and have been nowhere near a PC for that period of time. was really sorry to hear about your bits of bad luck - i totally understand you couldn’t make it to the wedding or stag do, but really appreciate the effort and lengths you attempted in order to try and make it!! it was a great day - check the pics on my MSN space!! got back from my honeymooon yesterday in Cyprus.
I will endeavor to get ludicrously hammered with you in the near future mate and hope you had a wicked birthday! Deffo catch up soon my friend.
Steve
