Just come out of hospital and cant go

[staff81]

I have just come out of hospital after going in for an emergency operation on my shoulder and now cant go. didnt think anything would stop me going for the 3rd year in a row so didnt take out the insurance. guttered guttered guttered but have been told i cant risk anyone knocking into me even the slightest knock could cause another op and i dont want to go through that again.

I know the new security on the tickets stops touts but puts people in my situation a lot of money out of pocket as see tickets say theres nothing can be done. guttered!

Gutted for you, hope you get well soon

You definitely definitely definitely can't go staff?

Really big sympathies ....

Is there ANY way you could get there and be looked after? The facilities for disabled/injured peeps are pretty damned good. I know someone (an Urban75 regular) who had a very bad broken leg, still with pins in the bones etc., and he's been furnished with all sorts of disabled passes, access to platforms, lifts on the motorised quadritrolleys etc.

Don't completely rule it out until you're very sure I'd say. Good luck.

If I was you I would still go ,BUT i would not be drinking or taking anything else ...take your time, no crowd surfing , find a space to watch your bands were there is plenty of space , maybe get 1 of you mates to stand right behind you so nobody can push past your sore shoulder .

take a double lilo and sleep on it on your own and take it easy

[Ricochet]

Thats terribly bad luck.

Get well soon.

cheers for the support but not fair on a friend not fully enjoying it. just looked on ebay and theres a few, im 26 and of average build so what i call an average 26 year old lol, maybe someone will take a punt on it.

just know if i went something would happen too me, someone run past on the way to the tent or i fall (if it gets muddy) thought long and hard and gona miss it. the thing is ive also lost money on oasis ticket at heaton park (was in the hospital) and oasis at slane this coming weekend plus the flight to dublin. god damn you shoulder!!!!!!

Defiantly go mate!!!! if it was anything like my op on my shoulder by BUPA 3 weeks ago they've probably f**ked it up anyway and have to do it again so sod it go and enjoy yourself.

Gutted for you.

I had a shoulder op last autumn, and deffo wouldnt have considered going and camping.

But are you local enough to go even for just a few hours each day?

Maybe, like WoW said, you could go and sit on the disabled platform at the Pyramid.

The fact that the weather is going to be fantastic is on your side.

Hope you manage to get along and enjoy some of it.

Post a pic of yourself and if you look like me mate ill buy ticket off you for face value if you want mate? Probs have to scan your drivers licence or passport though as proof of ID if they ask if thats ok?

[FunkyDenz]

Don't risk it. If they're saying even the slightest knock could cause further damage the risk is too great.

Instead get your TV in the garden and get some mates round to watch the coverage whilst drinking cider in the sun. It won't be quite the same, but far better than to need another operation.

mine was on bupa at the alex hospital in cheadle, stockport, it was actually a pec tear i suffered and they have had to re attach the pec muscle to my shoulder and with it only being stitched they have said that if the stitches get knocked they can come loose. i cant drive for a few months and cant work.

think the garden idea is the best, def not the same but some of my friends have done that the last 2 years when a few of us have been there and had a mint time.

i will get the ticket later when i get back home (pestering my mum today at hers as bored sat at home on my own whilst im off) and will get the pic from the ticket up on here, if you dont think it will suit you i will get it on ebay but will be on here later, prob 7ish id guess.

plus no issue scanning something over, at the end of the day i want whoever has it to get in, also im stockport based so if your local you can pick it up.

That reallys sucks mate. sorry to hear it!

[staff81]

curtains ive sent you a pm

i am however looking to try and get my money back for the ticket and therefore if curtains doesnt want it then if anyone else is looking, pm me.

i aint looking to make a profit, just solely looking to get my money back (which as a bonus would go towards the excess on my bupa treatment)

[indiesfa]

i also have a spare ticket would suit a mid to late twenties girl with blonde or red shoulder length hair and a thin face - with sunglasses most would be find - please pm if you want it

id take fifty five pounds for it
