13th April 2016 – Rehab Day 18 – Cast Off and New Cast Day

Posted on April 13, 2016 by zmetheringham

Earlier start today, and missing my first day of school ! but off to Stoke Mandeville Hospital to have my cast removed, hopefully my stitches and a new cast.

Stitches about to come out !

X-ray shows good progress, so time for a new cast and another 4 weeks on crutches.

Got the choice of colours ! Thought a mixture of Red and Green would look sic !

Massive thanks to the Staff, Nurses and Doctors at Stoke Mandeville Hospital for my very swift treatment this morning – all very seamless between departments and the staff in the Plaster Dept where the best ! Thanks.

12th April 2016 – Rehab Day 17 – Rest at Home

Posted on April 12, 2016 by zmetheringham

Been resting at home, playing loads of PS4 games and watching movies.

Paul at Team Evolution has set me lots of Recovery Tasks, so been learning German on the Duolingo App (its great and can do 10-20 mins a day), also practicing my juggling.

One other task he has set is to research Olsson’s, Vonn’s and Svindal’s injuries and any special exercises during their rehab, together with how the did something fun during their rehab to keep their mind in focus.

Lindsey Vonn – low res

Aksel Lund Svindal – low res

Jon Olsson – low res

3rd April 2016 – Johnstones Paint Trophy Final

Posted on April 5, 2016 by zmetheringham

I should have been out with Team Evolution skiing until the 9th April, but due to my accident I was home. Dad had sorted for him and Mum to be in the Royal Box at the Johnstones Paint Trophy Final at Wembley between Oxford United and Barnsley.

So guess what I took his place. It was an amazing experience. Met Sir Michael Parkinson and saw Dickie Bird. Good match by two teams both wanting the win, but Barnsley won 3:2.

Almost presenting the Trophy !

So I have a. watched loads of matches at Wembley, b. played football on the pitch in a great training session back in 2012, c. been in the changing rooms and walked out of the players entrance during a few tours, d. watched my Mum and Dad zip wire across the pitch, e. watched Robbie, Take That (the Pet Shop Boys – that ones for you Dad) & Ed Sheehan in concert and have now been in the Royal Box. All amazing experiences.

Thank you Debbie and the team at Club Wembley.
