The Dew Drop Inn Virtual Rugby Pub

First topic message reminder :

Welcome to the virtual rugby pub - a place where you can come in for a sly beverage and discuss whatever's on your mind, or just eavesdrop on the regulars if you fancy a break from all the rugby chat.

The only rule in this pub is one of mutual respect for everyone in it, oh and no defacing the team photos of the World Cup finalists. Or the action shots (put up especially for Cari) of McCaw, Kahui and Corey Jane.

So pull up a chair....what'll it be?

See patients!!!

Tell blooming lies ALL the time!

That certainly explains why she told you to keep icing it!

The benefit of ice has pretty much gone within 48 hours!

Why didn't you tell them the truth you eejit!

They can help better if they have all the info!

And thanks Cari. I'm getting better now I hope.

MrsP - it's been fine. These days, work's just me sifting through reams of documentation to know where to send it before our office closes for good. No start date yet. The panel said they'd like me to start in two weeks, but bureaucracy won't allow it by the looks

Seems a bit daft Cari when the new place has work you could be doing and the current place has you twiddling your thumbs.

I didn't tell them because I know the reaction sports injuries receive especially seeing as I kept playing on it. Plus I wanted to be seen quickly! Just wish there was something I could do to help speed the recovery but it literally is sitting on my backside for a few weeks!!

Oooo actually you may be able to help....can I swim on it/will swimming help?

Plus....i'm a bloke!!

Yep...but that's the way they do things. It's awfully frustrating. Still, I'm making myself useful by sorting out my soon-to-be-old office in the meantime.

Hoi Cari & Mrsp.

Prop. So you are a care-worker, helping people to get on their feet, get them jobs and to believe in themselves. Your Mam and Sis are nurses.

I see a really nice pattern here.

Is yer da related to Ghandi btw?

Prop, not scaremongering but my brawd broke his ankle playing. They didn't pick up on it in the hospital that day and he played after about a month, but kept getting crocked. When they finally spotted the fracture it had weakened his ankle to the extent he had to pack it in. He was a hooker as well. Get it properly checked out, even if it means swallowing your pride.

Howya Gibbo

Prop,

Very hard to be sure from here but I would suspect you need physio.

When you damage your ankle ligaments (sprain) you can very often lose the proprioception in that joint. That is the ability to sense which way your ankle is moving in relation to your leg and foot. It is the sense that you need when walking over uneven ground in the dark. It is also the sense which helps you not to reinjure your ankle because it has been stressed in an unhealthy way.

You need to let it heal properly and then possibly relearn that sensation. A physio will give you exercises to help this process. That is why you should have told them about the long term nature of your injury.

Prop!

naughty prop

go and sit on the naughty step and have a time out please

How old are you, it's a minute on the step for every year of your life

Yeah Gibbo....couldn't you tell by my complexion??!!

Glas: I may go that, simply see if it does recover with rest.

MrsP: My divisional officer knows a sports physio who he's going to give my info to tonight at st johns so hopefully they'll be able to help, reckon I may need to change my running style and also change my hooking foot seeing as it's my left foot that's gone and I hook with my right so in a scrum all the pressure is on the left.

So long as he sits with his ankle elevated!

Woooop! I finished 11th on Sportsguru RWC

Prop,

Which version of your "info" will the physio get?



Seriously though, never a good idea to lie to the medics. Some we can spot very easily.

"I haven't smoked since I saw you last doc, honest!"

So, that's yellow paint on the first 2 fingers of your right hand then, not nicotine staining?

How much do you drink/smoke?

(Double the answer at least!)

Where did thiswagging finger one come from??!! At least i'm not your age then because that would be my evening ruined!!

MrsP: they will get the full story. The main reason I said it happenned earlier was because i didn't want to be sat round, went in once with a head injury (bleeding quite badly) and had to wait for 4 hours!!

Do you think we should start playing this at internationals now?

Haha that is awesome MrsPenfro!!! Bit boyband like though.....

Ah I can appreciate that alright Prop but it is impossible to try to get the management of injuries right if folk don't give us the full story.

Why tie one of our hands behind our back?

It's a bit like asking someone to help you find your blue jumper when the jumper is actually red!

Anyway, I hope you get it sorted although it is likely to take a good while.

Yeah I do understand mrsP it's my own blydi fault for feeling too proud to admit I needed time off rugby because we didn't have a replacement hooker...as soon as one turns up it badly goes wrong but at least i've now told the coach i'm out....time for beers on the sideline

Cheers for all the advice MrsP and regs but not for you Pete for your telling me off

Have the Sarries got a spare front row, Prop? I don't think Penfro will volunteer to stand in!!

Different Hooker turned up if not coach will have to...felt a tad pressured to play to be honest.

You don't want to make the injury worse! Turn your phone off so they can't get hold of you so that you can rest the ankle properly.

Hobo put that one on with you in mind naughty Prop

Take the longer term view Prop.



Why aren't you called "hooker_lyd"?

I blame the Chairman!

I could be persuaded to make a come back...



...in the same way porkers could be persuaded to take flight.

MrsP...up until 2 seasons ago I was a tighthead and loosehead before being converted to hooker...still play prop now and again.....plus prop_lyd sounds better!!

I blame Rava for it Gibbo

Haha I reckon he probably did Glas why can I see this becoming my signature instead of

Jebus therés an awful lot of ageism in the Pub. Poor OLD Ozzy.

Respect yer elder lemons! We KNOW. And we care.

Glas!!!!



Did you not wreck your back a while ago????

I'm sure Ozzy knows i'm just joshing

At least it wasn't Gibbo Prop or that would be the season on the step!

MrsP,
On that lying to Doctors and stuff. I start telling them the Truth and they look at me in amazement and sheer admiration .. "HOW the feck are you still alive and only look like... 35... " and sheet.

Just jealous cos they led a boring life I spose.

Seriously, I tell them everything... Thats what great about them here. Not surprised at all. Just smile.

They normally say/ask but you are obviously a good jongen now mijneer Gibbo? . Yeah Doc. Sure. Little Lie.

MRSP!!!!

yes

When I got my first CD player around 1986, I bought two CD's -

The Best of The Eagles and Creedence Clearwater Revival (Chronicle). Still have both.

Two for the price of one.

I'd quite happily have 35 minutes on the step, might get some peace that way!!!

To be fair, when it is peaceful and quiet in my house, I get bored out of my brains.

Can't wait for the weekend, London irish vs. Bath at the MadStad, big game for us, need to win as we go to Welford Road the week after and we always get stuffed up there!!!

Rava: Hotel California was one of the first songs I learnt on the sax!!

Ah now i've started an ageist debate.....

That's it young feller. Attack me when I'm not listening.

What did you say??

No debate Prop.

We'll all just humour the old guy in the corner till he nods off.

Do you want me to speak up for you Rava? Not got your ear trumpet have you?

MrsP I think if we're quiet the old guy hasn't commented for a while....

Prop, speaking as someone who spent 5 or 6 years either in physio or hobbling around a sports field (I sprained the left ankle around 10 times, the right 3 or 4), the physio is very worth it. Especially as they'll teach all those nice balancing and stretching exercises to re-train and strengthen the ligaments once you start rehabbing it. Once you can stand on one foot (the sore one ) blindfolded for 2 minutes it's probably fixed.

Also (and sorry to tell you this one) any day you get ed adds a day to the recovery process - the body's too busy dealing with the alcohol to do any healing.

One of my physio's worked part time for the Crusaders. And since she was also the NZ women's heavyweight boxing champion you generally did all the things she suggested

Well I was always taught to respect my elders and I have massive respect for Gibbo.

Mrs. P. I had my MOT today and the Diabetic nurse said if she was giving out prizes I would get a GOLD STAR

Fantastic news Rava!

See Prop!

That's what happens when you listen to your medical advisers!

Gold Stars all the way!

Laters all,

Cheers for that kiwi....i'll probs be laying off the anyway trying to save hard for holidays!

Right time to go to st johns and hopefully be told how to do herringbone strappings for ye olde foot......laters oldies

I hope that cheeky young pup was refering to Gibbo and Rava just then!

If he was making it more general than that he might just find me suggesting some unorthodox (and highly unpleasant) therapies for that ankle of his!

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ.
