You're in good company Frank, didn't David Beckham suffer the same injury a while back? Get well soon budOriginally Posted by Effem
The x-ray showed I have a fractured fifth metatarsal and that's commonly known as the "dancer's fracture". I feel a bit deflated by that as I preferred my bad landing scenario

Sorry to hear this Frank. I hope you're on the mend soon.
It's surprising how easy it is to do a lot of damage from a simple slip isn't it? I once came a cropper on a muddy track when my feet went out from under me. I was holding a loaded stalking rifle at the time, so was rather occupied with trying not to shoot myself or anyone else, landed badly and shattered my elbow.

Serves you right for trying to kill something.

Anyway, I took some advice from an old boy down the pub & he told me it should be done by the river on a moonless night. Trouble was, every time I tried poaching salmon his way, it was too dark to see & I didn't put enough water in the pan, so it boiled dry. It ruined the expensive fish I got from Fortnam & Masons, I'll tell ya!
