Congratulations on the new edition Luke and congrats on getting the cage removed aswell

thanks fellas I appreciate all your replies... your right i really aught to start thinking about buying another SJ for him when he grows up....

At least thats what I can tell the Mrs!!!!

I took the bandages off today, I imagine the drynes and scabs will go but the scars will be there for life, I don't know about the skin graft, hopefully I'll get some scar management 'therapy' for it and eventually it should become a big scar instead of looking like chicken breast! I think my leg will always be a funny shape though!

they some badass scars man.

remember.........

chicks dig body damage

that makes all my scars from bmx pathetic, I thought I had some big ones!

woah dude......
how ya gettin on with movement and things???


are you sure thats an apropriate "cartoon" fer the young'un

"KICK THE BABY......!"

that looks mental!

word to Scottie, scars are gnarly!

Congradulations Luke on the baby, and getting that framework off ,and a big well done to Mrs Tramp for 9 months of hard work.
I take my hat off to ya

Drinky time to wet the baby's head eh Luke ?

Right On the 7th of april I went into have some x rays on my leg to make sure everything is alright (6weeks since the frame came off)

Here are the xrays

from the front...







From the side







and thats it done, My surgeon said its as strong as it will ever be now and he is happy for me to take up contact sports if I want!
Also They put me onto a scar management team, where they try to reduce the scaring and swelling, they made me a special 'compression' stocking which is really sexy and looks like something my gran might wear! I have to wear it allday everyday to get the most benefit out of it - So I doubt I will be wearing shorts this summer

here is my stocking



And my leg after wearing it for a few days





I'm still not back at work but should be soon, I'm still walking with a Limp I've sort of resigned myself to the fact I will have to limp all my life, I managed to walk to my brother-in-laws the otherday, about a 3mile round trip, which Is certainly I step in the right dierection. I have trouble lifting my big toe it gets to neuteral postion and won't go up any further they said i will have to wear stiff soled shoes to help me but it makes it a hassle getting trainers on when you usually wriggle your toes, this is also the bit the makes me limp as I can't lift my foot up far enough I have to take a big step so my toes clear the floor, like I said it's not that bad and I have just sort of resigned myself to it - I mean I have my leg and its not painful so what more could I ask?

In the future I hope to be able to sprint for short periods, I'm working on my achillies tendon at the gym but I'm yet to see if it will happen

Thats all good then Luke, glad your as good as your going to be

You have come a long way to say the least

Loving the stocking

At least you're all fixed up bud. When're you going to be back in the 4x4?
