MO's Leg (Part 1)

After spending the second half of last Saturday driving down to Croydon to retrieve a friend of ours after he successfully managed to rupture the Achilles tendon in his right leg I have decided to record and occasionally publish an ongoing series about his rehabilitation.

Now let me just say MO was warned by my wife N not to go and play a racquetthon (table tennis, squash, badminton and tennis) after he had previously injured his other leg... but did he listen? No he didn't. So it was about 3pm when we received a phone call from a stricken MO informing us he was on his way to the casualty department at the hospital in Croydon. With his car parked at the sport centre we decided to pick up another friend of ours, TS who would then drive MO's car to the hospital to pick the invalid up.

Miraculously everything went to plan and we timed things just about right as shortly after we arrived we were helping Hop-a-long Cassidy to the car... with his leg encased in plaster.

So with at least 3 weeks off work will he go stir crazy? Will he survive without going to the pub?? Will he drive us up the wall with his constant status updates on Facebook and Twitter??? We will see...
