IT’S fair to say the last few days have been a stressful time in what has already been a difficult season.

If it hasn’t been my engines blowing up, it’s been injuries, and that is the case this time.

I had a big crash at Scunthorpe on Sunday, which was only my second meeting back from injuring my wrist and I came down pretty hard on it and aggravated that again.

I came off twice at Swindon on Monday and I am pretty sore as a result.

I just couldn’t hang onto the bike, my wrist was already that sore.

I’d spoken to Rosco the night before about riding or not riding and I had to convince him that I wanted to be there riding.

I haven’t come from halfway around the world to sit on the couch and watch it on the telly, I want to be part of it.

Realistically, I probably shouldn’t have ridden, I know that now.

I don’t think there is anything broken but I haven’t been to the hospital. I was supposed to go on Monday but I went and rode for Swindon instead.

If you’d seen me on Sunday afternoon, I was sat in the ambulance on the gas and air and they were going to take me then. I wasn’t in a good way and took a good whack to the head as well.

I don’t think I will need any surgery. I have got to see the physio today, which Peterborough Panthers have sorted out for me.

The last time I injured it, it was a ligament in my wrist but I can barely even move it now.

I will see what the physio thinks about it and if she thinks it is broken then I will go to the hospital but I have had enough broken bones to know that I don’t think it’s broken.

I have got a wrist brace on it so that I don’t aggravate it any more than I already have.

You don’t get any money for sitting at home and it is a lot of stress at the moment and nothing seems to be going right.

Now I need a little bit of time out. I wasn’t due to be riding for Swindon tonight anyway, I was supposed to be with Peterborough Panthers at Ipswich Witches but I have pulled out of that.

I have just got to take it one day at a time now. I don’t know how long it will be until I am back but I’ll take it easy and see how I feel each day.
