...and I'm running a marathon to raise cash for his recovery and hopefully get him a better leg than the clog on a stick the NHS will give him

 

A lot of you will already know the story, but on a dark October morning back 2022 my brother Ant suffered catastrophic injuries after falling off the ledge of a property we worked on together.

 

He pretty much broke every bone in both legs including heel, ankle a triple open compound fracture on his right leg.

 

Fast forward 3&half years, 10 operations, skin transplants and a gazillion complications he's reached the point where his right leg is being amputated.

 

This despite all the best efforts from all involved in trying to save his leg, the constant chronic pain, infections and various other complications has left him with no other option.

 

After the amputation he will face a long and tough recovery but hopefully this decision will get him his life back and start again with the best prosthetic leg we can get him.

 

Thank you in advance for any donations to aid him through his recovery.

 

My marathon is in Manchester on 19th April 2026

My bro has his leg off today at Preston Royal.

They kept him awake and gave him an epidural! 

Madness.

Not sure why but I thought it'd be quite a complicated operation but he was in and out in 45 mins.

Makita multi-tool and bosh straight off.

 

 

Posted before my dad had his leg amputated when we were kids. Amazing how quickly it just became part of normal life and you get on with things. Got to be better than being stuck like he has. 
Get a blue badge for parking, fucks up security scanners in airports. But hopefully once he gets back on his feet (foot?) will let him get back to a much more normal life

I'm a casual runner. I don't do fun runs or park runs. I just do it when I feel like it. For days afterwards I use to ache all over. I tried the cold bath thing and all the aching has disappeared. As you can imagine it's not a pleasant experience but 10 minutes does the job. Unfortunately my todger shrinks to 6" and my bollox constrict to the size of a walnut (picture available on my OnlyFans page). Mentally and physically cold baths tick all the boxes.

It 100% staves inflammation helps on recovery. Long term though you need that inflammation for muscle growth and repair.

If it makes you feel better after a run then crack on.

....our kid is home tonight by the way. One week on from amputation.

Mad how quick they have you out.

Aye, it's not for everyone. 

Good luck and all the best to your brother. And well done you for that run. That shit is well out of my league.

Ten minutes? 

One at my gym where you control the temperature, can only manage 3 mins at 12 degrees 

Tried it lower but thought I was going to pass out

Ten minutes sounds like a luke warm bath to me 

Though I go up to my neck which probably makes a huge difference

Will try ten minutes at waist level next time

It's just a cold bath. Cold water and nothing else. It feels like it but it's far from freezing. Put I little warm in if you want. I did for the first few but it's cold all the way now. But don't go down in instalments, just do it in one go. 3 minutes of swearing and regretting it and 7 mins of just accepting it. It regenerates me no end. It's worth it.

* A couple of weeks ago I had a normal bath after a run. After I got out I walked down the stairs and around the house like a 80 year old man. I ached all the next day too.

Good news, he must be sick and tired of hospitals; keep an eye on him, he'll probably be all over the place in his head

If you're proper aching after a run it sounds like you're not stretching or not stretching properly afterwards 

Doing it properly is a game changer

This guy has loads of good routines

I'm a casual runner. It could be 10 days between runs. It's general knackeredness everyone gets after any sort of exercise. I just found the hot bath exacerbated any aching. Cold bath was a full recharge.

Yeah I'd definitely do stretching too, helps massively with the aches, pains and general knackeredness, if anything would say it's more important if you're not running often

Just did 4.5 minutes in cold bath at 12 degrees before feeling a bit wonky 

Will stick to 4 minutes max

I honestly get more stick off our own under 15s for not giving offside when the shit cunts are keeping them on by 5 yards and they all just stand still shouting offside like George Grahams Arsenal team.

I do the line often , ( and ref sometimes) usually because no one else will , but then the same people who won’t do it become experts on off side and call every decision and whether a ball up by the corner flag was out when they’re at the halfway line with 20 people in the way , roaring and screaming. 
Kids football turns parents into abusive wankers , seen it for years . 
 

I love blowing up and offering the whistle to the gobby Cunts on the sidelines, explaining I’ll happily go to the Shammy and everyone else can go home…

usually gets the right reaction 😂

Not sure 10 pints at the match was adequate preparation.

Youngen spanked me. 59 mins!

1:01 for me. 

Was tougher than the pissing marathon
