My new toe

Postby Richard (Apples) » Tue Mar 18, 2008 10:59 am

After my less than sucessful attempt to kick the washing machine into my back garden two weeks ago resulting in a broken toe I went up to Ipswich yesterday to see Dr. Laser.

I had an appointment at the fracture clinic at St Georges in the morning and they said it would heal in 4 weeks and the Dr there was unimpressed when I enquired as to his opinion of "electromagnetic lasery thingamy jiggery pokery stuff"

Anyway I got up there and was straight away impressed by the number of signed photos around the waiting room from sports people ,mainly motocross, but also skiers, horseriders and some cyclists thanking the Good Doctor for his help and expressing their amazement at how quick their recovery from various crashes had been.

Dr.Laser recomended I had two 45 minute sessions with an hours break in between and the effects are awesome :shock:

I went in with quite a lot of pain and a dodgy limp and even after the first session I was almost walking normally ( well for me) .

At the end of the second session it felt no worse than a bruise, and by the time I got home I had hardly any pain

Dr.Laser has told me I will have no problem skiing and I can get back on the bike whenever I want. :P

I rode in to work today. 8)

I would highly recommend this treatment

:P :P

I think he just uses the laser on people's brains to make them think it's worked.

Nice one Apples, although obviously I hope never to need his skills.

Gentlemen, we can rebuild him, we have the technology. We have the capability to make the worlds first Bionic man. Richard Apples will be that man. Better than he was before. Better. Stronger. Faster. 8)

Seems like it :shock:

He's told me to be careful , so no sprinting for buses or playing football yet ( as if )

When they strapped me on the couch and fired up the laser I felt like saying " do you expect me to talk"

Dr Laser must be able to afford to offer his clients mugs or cups by now.

Looking at the photo, I can understand the guy not needing his crutches any more - but did he get his eyes done as well while he was at it?
