Surgeon said given the level of soft tissue damage 90-100 degree clockwise rotation around the ankle and spiral fracture oft he fib, that I should aim to be back to light jogging around the 12mth mark.... Showed him!

He said it will never quite be 100%.

Kate did hers when she was 12, a simpler break without as much soft tissue damage (the real issue) and hers still swells from time to time and can occasionally roll if she's not careful.

That said, I've already done some 2 and 3k jogs and from the moment the diastases screw was out in January (7screws and a plate remain) I've been on it and using it.

Then after talking to you guys, started squatting and DL lightly and slowly building it up. I'd like to get some half decent leg/back strength and be able to jog daily like I was and I'll be happy, I honestly think all that is achievable but that I might not be ever able to fully flat out sprint, rapid direction change sprint again sort of thing, a very brisk run in one direction seems fine but the stability isn't there for rapid direction changes yet.

Could always be worse. That's what I keep thinking about my shoulder to stay positive - someone, somewhere, has got it worse.

And when I need motivation or renewed appreciation for what I do have, I watch this:

Oh for sure man I know others have it worse, I still have my foot and it pretty much works, happy days for me.

I don't lack motivation or drive, I'm ahead of the curve the surgeon set, and even if it was a conservative one,. I'll take it as a win. There was never any chance that a busted foot was going to stop me exercising and doing what I enjoy.

Like eating 2 lunches today because that's just how I roll...

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
