Well what a past few days it’s a been I’ll take you back to we’d night had some dinner in a Dutch TS then halfway thro the football came over all funny,thinking food poising got some Imodium inside me a went to sleep it off.
Thursday awoke sweating,shivering and aching ,any way did my delivery and reloaded for Swindon fast forward to Friday afternoon and my left leg is at least twice it’s normal size (which is big I’m carting around a few extra stone)which I take the the universality Heath hospital,where I still am on a antibiotic drip and a ver high temp awaiting scan tomorrow for a clot, aithough my temp is up BP Is"normal" and blood results show not diabetic it’s been a good way to stop smoking.
So if anyone’s passing I’m on A2
Sorry to hear your bad news,
It is bad enough not being well,than to be miles from home and family,
Hope you get better and on your way again soon

I was thinking the same thing, went to the Stone Roses gig at Manchester Friday, then on to a warehouse rave.
Spent Saturday morning trying to navigate the British Rail network whilst absolutely smashed off my barnet.
Saturday night spent on the sofa shivering and talking gibberish.
Interesting problem and I do trust you recover soonest…left leg…the one you don’t use if you have an automatic…possible DVT… deep vein thrombosis,I look forward to the revelation as to your prob,then we can get H.M.Government to ban automatics.And I do hope you recover soonest let us know how you get on.

why ban auto’s 
your foot isnt superglued down in a auto 
are you incapable of lifting/moving your left leg during the course of your working day
may as well ban cars and make everyone jog to work
ban jcb’s and get the shovels out again
silly idea, just move yer bleeding leg
what should be banned is numpties who abbreviate things then type them out in full
dont you think that should be banned

Yeah right. Ban forklifts while you’re at it, then we can all handball all day every day and be fit as a flea. 
What a ■■■■. 
Malc, sorry to hear of your hassles, and if it’s any consolation you ain’t the only one to have a crap couple of weeks. Wife and I went to France for a week on the 18th, both of us on Harleys; mine broke down on 22nd (my birthday!)and is still in Reims because the toss-pots who deal with their parts distribution (Caterpillar) can’t get the bits there from Belgium till 6th July, and wifey hit a patch of diesel on the A26 heading into Dunquerque last Sunday and it was pouring with rain, ended up flying over the Armco and trashing hers. She’s OK thankfully apart from a bruise, but trust me guys seeing your missus fly through the air ain’t funny. 
Hope you’re better soon mate.
To all of you reading this.Please think twice, don’t brim your diesel tank. It could be a fellow trucker riding the bike that hits your spillage!

just been released from hosiptal what a nightmare past 3weeks its been got no leg mussel been in bed for 3 weeks another assessment in a fortnight,and a dristrict nurse to change leg dressings board out my skull , luckly my mrs can keep us on her wage as ssp doesn’t go very far,and a big thank you to the boss
take care out the ans watch out for any red blotches itching anything on your legs get it seen to quick.
Had a similar thing happen about 5 weeks ago…my left leg was swollen to almost twice as big as my right and very red and blotchy…my misses drags me to the doctor who sent me to hospital…various scans and 2 injections in my stomach am told to go back for more tests a week later.My wife then decides i have to sell the truck,put my feet up and ponder the future without the stress of self employment.So truck sold yesterday (reasonable amount for 55plate concrete mixer) and am in the process of closing down the business…but my leg is still swollen,although after all the anti-biotics not so red.Told it could have been dvt…clot has been dispersed… then a nasty dose of cellulitis.I’m 57 so probably look forward to lots of walking from now on unless leg goes back to proper size.

Have suffered from it for over two years Malc, it started off after my last hip operation, now my legs have gone down to a fairly normal size but looks like the rind on a piece of old cheese.
They still flare up occasionally but are less painful now

Do you reckon these folks who want to ban automatic gearboxes are just slow learners and want to go back to steam engines and having rickets?
