Second last trip in March I got my Patong tattoo. Another fargin dog. Same leg as in the picture but only soft tissue etc damage.
The little hardware shop that I have is from a race track incident. Had broken the same ankle 20 odd years earlier, yep on a bike.
But I am a rank amateur compared to LivinLos. Do they ache much or do you just stay drunk. Mine does not like the cold.  |
They used to 'twinge' a bit.. Not ache exactly but feel odd and it was both cold weather and also (sounds funny) approaching storms.. I dont know if it was soemthing to do with barometric pressure but my knee would ache in a funny way... One of those 'arrr storms a-comin' type thing
And no the bar was removed so all I am left with is a few pins and airports dont beep me.. Theres a nice hole in the side of my leg where it compounded and all the white bits came out.. In the end big bits of it went necrotic and they had to remove it.. Now my calf muscle was moved round the side (I think its called a soleas flap) that and skin grafts patched it right up..
It became such an ordeal because I got MRSA in a UK hospital (where its common but they know how to administer vancomycin to treat it) and went to Holland where they didnt know about MRSA.. Total nightmare nearly had it taken off at the knee twice cause the infection was raging..
