Now fully fit, Hose is set to face Derbyshire in Worcestershire’s opening County Championship match of the new season on Friday.
And when he looks back on the incident, although philosophical about it, Hose said it will be at the back of his mind for a while yet.
“I think it would be unrealistic to not have those thoughts,” he said.
“They are going to be there and I’d probably be lying if there wasn’t an element of hesitation but I think that’s what these few days of pre-season have been for – just to see where I’m at with that, see how it holds up and fortunately that’s been all OK.
“I think, realistically, I’m going to have these thoughts moving into the next few weeks and maybe even months because it was quite a traumatic injury.
“But, fingers crossed, those do fade over the next few months and I can get back to somewhere near 100% – that would be nice.
“I would have fielded that ball thousands of times in my career, it’s just happened one day.
“I think my studs did sort of anchor and the front foot slipped and I found myself in a pretty awkward position but these things happen unfortunately in sport and in life.
“I’m just happy to be to be back on my feet now and am raring to go.”
