Hey fellas
Well, i want to tell you about a young 15 year old ardent Liverpool fan. He is also a budding Hockey player (mad goalkeeper). He has been diagnosed with Chronic Osteomyelitis (after waiting 15 months for an Mri scan, the great NHS!) which is a severe infection in his femur. He has had his operation to get as much of the infection out and has now started a course of antibiotics for 3 months with a long stint on hospital and months in a knee brace. At this time the future is sketchy as to how well the hole in his femur heals. Through all this he keeping his head up and a smile on his face. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, right?. So i would appreciate if you guys to send him some get well soon messages before tonights game to make him chuckle before the smile gets wiped of his face at about 10 tonight! He is of course my Son Ben. Thanks for reading.

{Ed002's Note - I am pretty sure all hockey goalkeepers are mad Ben. I, and all of the Eds, wish you a full recovery. Take care not to do too much to soon and take the time to gradually work back to full fitness. I appreciate it is hard thing and a long haul, but if you would like we can set you up a Blog on here so you can let everyone know on a day-by-day basis how the recovery is going. I am sure that won't be a problem to figure out. Until then you can sit back and watch Liverpool improve. Chelsea at home at the weekend has to be a winnable game, but far from easy. Good luck tonight.}
