he might be lucky to play again.
saw one of those in the AFL, bloke can hardly walk. Jason Snell. compound break of the ankle and leg. f**king horrible.
"He can take his dog, Bodhi, for a walk, provided it lasts no longer than about 20 minutes. He can do the shopping, and park his car at university confident he will be able to walk inside. "Plus," he said, "I've got a great right-foot hop."
There are days when the ankle swells or stiffens so badly that he can't bear to walk on it, or when he finds himself some way from home, on foot, and has to find a way back. Snell visits a podiatrist, to make sure his shoes sit as they should, and wears a compression sock - mostly because nerve damage means he can't feel parts of it, and also because normal socks sit uncomfortably and . . . "just hurt a little bit".
