Where to start……guess the injury is a good start.
I’m a 33yo old hockey player (field no ice) in Hobart, Australia. On the 13 April this year I was playing in the second match of the season. I was running backwards tackling a player for the ball. Put might right foot down to stop and take off when BANG!!! Went down in a heap. The umpire who was next to me asked “What was that?”, my reply through gritted teeth was “Think that was my leg”.
Went to hospital that night. A surgeon was on duty so was put straight under the knife for a repair. I then spent 3 weeks in a cast with the toes pointed and then 3 weeks in a cast with a shoe.
After removal of cast’s I started the long recovery back. I ride every day to work now (about 20Km’s total) and do daily exercises.
I’ve recently been asked to play in a summer hockey side starting in October. Not sure if I’m ready or not too. When do others start sports again?
