To Steve, Stu and those who attended:
Just thought I had better let you know that, following his
dad's fine example from last year's BUC, Zyllan also ended
up in A&E last night. Having fallen off , after riding some
9/10th of the way along that 30 foot length of scaffolding,
the seat somewhat freakishly hit the back of his calf hard,
and has caused internal bleeding and swelling of the
Gastrocnemius muscle ( Must be a new muscle, I am sure in my
day we never had those ).
He complains that being given only TWO crutches will
severely restrict what he can do with them, although he does
propose to practice the crutch scene from "There's Something
about Mary". The thought of adding fire wicks to the crutch
ends has also been mentioned.
He is taking anti-inflammatory drugs, wearing a compression
bandage and trying to get time off school, not necessarily
in that order of importance. It is unlikely he will make the
first Tuesday uni hockey, and is also an almost certain non
starter for uni gladiators at Liverpool next weekend.
