After surgery - taking a break for a few weeks


I just had some surgery on my back and under my arm, so to avoid splitting my stitches open I need to take a break from buggying for another 4 weeks or so (surgery was a couple of weeks ago) - which sucks, so I'm going to be lurking on here for a while until I'm ready to go out and hit the buggy again :yes: Can't wait.

Why not use a bar you wouldn't need to take to much pressure in your arms. You should still get out on your small kites and do some static though. Helps scratch the itch for me when there isnt enough wind to buggy. :ticking:

Tough one, Sucks to be out, but one bad fall if you try before you're ready can really mess up the recovery. Well, we'll try and keep you amused while you mend.

No, as Pablo says, better take it easy rather than risk it.

And yeah, the wind has really sucked round here recently anyway, so probably not missing much. Should be ready for December.

Get well soon! I was wondering why I did not get to meet you when I got invited to the sod field. Hang in there.
