GET SOME ACTION<br />
BY ROSS “ACTION MAN” WISHART<br />
Happy New Year! Welcome<br />
one and all to 20<strong>17</strong>! It’s<br />
going to be a great one,<br />
and here’s why...<br />
It’s hard to believe that it has been a year<br />
now since I was carted off a football pitch by<br />
ambulance.<br />
Whilst I knew my leg was broken, I was<br />
stunned when the consultant told me that<br />
that my knee’s posterior cruciate ligament<br />
was completely ruptured, it couldn’t be<br />
repaired surgically due to its proximity to the<br />
artery and they don’t heal, the ligament was<br />
history.<br />
To say I was devastated is an understatement,<br />
regular Bounce readers will know that I’m<br />
quite an active fellow, (the clue is in the<br />
nickname!) not just for my articles, which<br />
I’ve been writing for almost four years now<br />
and very much enjoy, but also other regular<br />
sporting exploits not to mention running after<br />
two small children.<br />
A part of me at that time thought it was all<br />
over, Action Man was dead, part of me had<br />
gone for good, could I function without it?<br />
Well at first, not really, it took two months<br />
