00:00 I got home on Tuesday night, took my leg off and said,
00:03 "Ooh, that's quite sore,"
00:04 and didn't really think too much of it.
00:07 Kind of cleaned it, bathed it, made sure it was all OK.
00:10 And then I got up about four o'clock in the morning,
00:12 looked at my leg and it was warm, swollen,
00:15 and I was like, "That's getting infected.
00:17 "I need to see somebody about it."
00:19 So I got myself to the hospital, went to see the doctors there,
00:23 and prescribed us some antibiotics,
00:25 and actually by the time morning came round,
00:28 I couldn't actually get my leg on.
00:30 So that was Wednesday's training out.
00:32 And then I tried again this morning to get my leg on.
00:35 Not been able to get my leg on today.
00:37 It is healing and it is getting better,
00:39 but at the moment I'm still not able to get my leg on.
00:41 So the hope is that tomorrow the swelling's gone down
00:45 a little bit more and we're in a situation
00:47 where I can do a little bit of practice
00:49 and pick up where we left off on Tuesday.
