    Glad you got it diagnosed and addressed properly! Have to listen to your body and take care of it.
    As much as I’m a huge fan and subscriber and anxiously await all your videos, I don’t believe you ever owe me anything.
    You’re inspiring because you’re a person, not some inanimate video creation machine. You’re one of the reasons I’ve fallen in love with skating again. I’d rather Bill Stoppard the person be healthy and happy than satiate my needs for more dope skating vids! Sending healing thoughts ❤️‍🩹

    Wishing you a swift recovery Bill, you were the one who inspired me to buy my first pair of proper skates at 50 years old, I’m just waiting for 3torn disks in my back to heal before I can get started on my skating journey for real. Stay strong my friend, stay strong and stay low! 😉. Peace!

    I started wearing ankle additional ankle padding a while back to take better care of them - I’d like to continue using them for a while!

    I feel your pain, 6 years ago my JRT scrapped my leg with his dewclaw and I didn't think much about it. within 48 hours I was delirious and my wife insisted I went to A&E (I was just going to sleep it off) the first 12 hours in emergency was keeping me alive and the next 12 was keeping my leg. I got lucky and after 13 days of smashing my system with aggressive antibiotics (3 IV bags 4 times a day) I was home and on the way to full recovery. Keep your chin up and I hope you will be fully healed soon. God bless and good luck :)

    Swift recovery! A loved one of mine had a similar situation on her face by her nose and was misdiagnosed the first round at the ER like you and it got worse, until she went to a derm who figured itnout thankfully. I'm happy you were your own advocate and got the care you needed! We all know doctors are busy and do their best but they are not infallible, it's important we are our own best advocates 💕

    Hope your on the mend. Get some Derma 500 to put on your skin before and after skating. Its and anti microbial. Used it myself and partner used it on his. legs when he had the same condition as you. Really soothed the itch and had a cooling effect.

    Hey Bill, wishing you a speedy recovery. You’re mental health sounds frail from this ordeal. I know how I get when I have a limitation that I can’t help that stops me from pursuing or performing my passion. It’s scary and it takes a toll. No matter what age. Best wishes to you and just letting you know you’ve been my inspiration to get back to skating in my later years. I missed it terribly.

  • @markharris2562

    @StephenTurnerLawyersOfTomorrow 2 года назад +2

    oh dear Bill, I feel for you. I had staph on my elbow, blew up out of nowhere - just like you said, smallest of cuts and the wrong bacteria and you're in the emergency room. The tissue inside will be damaged so do not rush the recovery. Took about a month before my elbow felt back to normal. Looking forward to that London video - I live in London but was unable to make it down to FNS due to covid wiping me out for two weeks. Get well soon!

  • @Pratalax
    @Pratalax 2 года назад +1

    Ooh! Ooh! Perhaps this presents an opportunity for a video on rehab from injury? It's a slow torture in itself not being able to get right back into your old ways once you feel better, but i'm sure you know ways to mitigate chances of an injury recurring.
    Also holy cow, that was tense, i was dreading the moment you'd turn around and say "so yeah they had to cut my foot off"

    Hope your getting well. I have a side question, I use to be an Ice Hockey player, back in 1980 in the UK, Blackpool seagulls, and now I live in Hong Kong, I am relearning to skate inline, got some basic memory, but now starting to build some personal confidence, and also being 60 adds to the challenge, all that said. I have a wide foot, and flatter Arch, and my Hockey skates gave me pain in the arch, solved with some hacks, do you have any experience with any boot producer that has a wider foot boot for better comfort? one way or another, ill be city skating Hong kong, so stand by for those videos. lol

    Hi Bill!
    Just before the light comes out again you reach the darkest point. The sun will rise again!
    Thank you for sharing your situation with the community. Our thoughts are with you!
    A few months ago, I injured both my ankles very badly. I had to move with crutches for 3 months and I suppose I will not be able to skate for the next 6 months either. But I am looking forward to doing so again. Maybe not at the same intensity as before but still surely enough to have fun and to enjoy the ride. What really helped my was the possibility to do indoor cycling with a defined work load. So I could easily dose the resistance and time according to my recovery speed. In doing so I was (and still am) able to adjust that to my recovery speed (which is not at all at the rate I wish to have). Perhaps these thoughts are able to help you. I wish you all the best, you inspire me everytime I watch your vids. Take care, get well soon again, don't forget to aim high (but maybe at a reduced speed).

    Similar thing happened to me 2 weeks ago. I had a bite from mosquito in the amazon during traveling 2 months ago that created a cyst under the skin. Then fell on it during skating with result rupturing the cyst inside and my whole leg swell up. I work in the hospital so went to A&E and was diagnosed with cellulitis leg infection. Hope you recover fast Bill and get back to skating. I know I cant wait.

  • @GeorgNikodym
    @GeorgNikodym 2 года назад

    Speedy recovery. You're bang on about all kinds of skaters getting this. I myself had it happen just after the Inline Marathon in Duluth a bunch of years ago. Finally rolled into a hospital in the GTA in serious pain but still no idea what was happening but I mentioned to the doc, "oh by the way, I have a red stripe on my leg"... he wanted to see and when he did it was just "Oh!" and he left... said to my partner, "um, that's not good". That's the only funny part of the story. Was many months before I put a speed skate back on. But I did. Hang in there.

Thank you for all the tips, and thank you for sharing what it is to city skate. I city skated the shit out of Boston for a while, and I don't think I could've done it without your inspiration. Seriously. So, thank you again, and I hope you get better so you can do what you love.

    Greetings from New Zealand. Long time viewer/subscriber of yours and I try and watch every new vid when it comes out but yes, did wonder where you went.
    Man, glad it wasn't worse but the thing that really bugs me about how this all played out is the misdiagnosis! I mean, I'm not a doctor and don't know if it's easy enough to mistake one thing for another but you were given medication for the wrong thing. Anyways, just a rant but glad you're on the up and up!
