Worst 8 weeks ever. 9-Jul-2009 At 12:21:22 PM Cookie

If being laid up for a week with the sodding swine flu, quickly followed by some sort of bizarre stomach infection wasn’t bad enough, when I finally returned to embrace my beloved sport once again, I strained a tendon in my wrist by being a little more than overzealous on a layback. So after nearly 6 weeks without a decent climbing session what do I do?? I go and break my blooming big toe… *cries* all I want to do is climb!!!

Sooo… any ideas on how I can (a.) keep my rapidly dwindling strength up, (b.) somehow expedite the healing process so I can crush the offending phalange back into my already murderous red chillis and finally (c.) develop a new style of one footed climbing.

Also I’m hearing horror stories about how long this is going to take to heal…. Anyone else been in a similar predicament??
