I did my back in at the end of January, herniated disc buggering up my right foot. Gonna have an operation next month and won't be doing much for at least two months after that. What have I done in this time?

After a bit of time off I've been going to work.
I've been trying to do a post graduate course but have found it hard, lacking motivation. Two subjects, I'll get a distinction in one and if I'm lucky scrape in with a pass on the other but will probably fail it.
Exercising trying to strengthen my back muscles.
Played online computer games.
Bought a Playstation 3 and singing songs on Singstar along with watching movies on the projector.
Eating too much and getting fat.

Miss windsurfing so much. Once fit and back sailing I'm going to spoil myself and buy new sails. So I spend time researching what to get and thinking about what to do with my current sails.

Buy a nice camera and get back down to the beach taking photo's. It's as close as you'll get to being back on the water.

Been there too, broke 2 of my toes inside of my foot, sucks as you cant even walk anywhere.

My Theropy was Wild turkey and Playstation.. i did mine mid way through summer so i had to close all of my curtains so, i couldn't see the wind outside.

One up side is your girl will get all the quality time out of the way while you cant escape and get sick of you by the time you are mobile again so doesn't winge when you bugger off to go sailing...

I've been doing the wild turkey and considering buying xbox.
Got some groovy pain killers that make me feel pretty wrecked.
3 bones in my foot. Still hurts and my foot looks like a sausage.
Need to find some office job.

Went for a sail at grunters and was sailing out when a wide one came through, the wave broke in two sections and I aimed at doing a jump off the steep ramp in between the sections where they meet up and close out. It broke just before I got there so Ihought no problem just go over the foam ball but the water exploded up to hard and I guess the pressure broke my foot.

Pretty odd, I mean think of how often you sail over a foam ball on your way out and nothing happens. Just u lucky I suppose.

Last year, after being knocked off my motorbike by a P-plater, i did find that the ol Jack Daniels and painkillers worked very well together.

Being pissed, hungover or spanking the monkey was the 3 main things i did to pass the time.

You now have time to build the perfect board that you've always been planning....

planet al I wish I could just HTFU, or actually STFU that would be great it I still had little kid bones that bent instead of breaking.

Booze and drugs I got some better pain klers yesterday, man did I feel smashed at one point.

I think also instead of making new and pointless theads like the PWA sucks one I'll just post my bored ramblings here

ALllllso the board thing is a great idea

How do you pronounce "curac"? Is it like the noise your foot made?

I am feelin your pain. Just had my third operation on my leg to remove final plate and screws after breaking my tib and fib 3 1/2 years ago windsurfing.8 months of sailing then and a few other breaks since then.2 weeks of now.Still maybe another op to go.
The first week is the worse.After that you will get in a routine of sleep,eating,dvd's and video games.Swimming laps is good if there are no stitches involved as it gets the blood pumping to the foot and keeps up the fitness.You. can swim just fine just kicking with one leg.And before anyone comments you wont go around in circles.
AND DO NOT PUSH IT TO SOON!...
