Hi Kim,
Like you I miss playing terribly, I don't know yet if I am able to,prior to my surgery I could hardly walk due to
pain and numbness in both legs, this has gone now,but being only two weeks since sugery, I will wait a while before trying to run.
Trying to run before was crazy,it was like trying to run with someone else's legs,no coordination and certainly no strength.
I am VERY hopeful that I will be ok tho.
My position was outside left and yes the trial was successful, played for a few years then coached, but like you friends and I get together to kick the ball about and play 5 a sides in the sports center, at least did up until injury.

to you and yours,
Davy
