No riding for a while :(

[finless]

Damn it!
I rolled my ankle on a gopher hole! I have rolled my ankle about 10 times in my life and just had a sprain.
Alas this time I broke the end of my tibia right at the ankle

Sheesh.... I have been bungee jumping, snow skied for 30+ years, surfed for years (younger years), and did all kinds of crazy stuff and never broke a bone in my body before. And a freakin gopher hole gets me!

I see the Bone Doc this Wednesday to find out what needs to be done. Hoping NO SURGERY!

Pissed off Bob....

 

[ARtraveler]

Ouch! Our thoughts and ray:ray: go with you.

 

[Sam Mac]

Hope you heal fast. That looks ugly. Of course it has to be the foot you need for the brakes. Maybe hand control? Anyway good luck.

 

[oldguyinTX]

Damn man, that bites. I feel your pain, I suffered a spiral fracture of the Tibia, Fibula, Heel, and Ankle in 1978. I was not able to work for months, and had to sell my '76 Honda 750 Super Sport as I could not make the payments on it. One of the hardest things I ever did. Hope you don't need surgery & heal up soon. Maybe time for more farkels?

 

[Pirate looks at --]

Well

Sorry to hear that Bob! You know I think you can still operate the brake pedal with a boot on! Promise us this, if you do have surgery, make sure you film it so we can do the diy job on ourselves if we need too!:roflblack:

:yikes: Sorry to hear that Bob. My wife stepped in a hole a couple of years ago and also broke her ankle. It was a long recovery.

 

[jerpinoy]

Golden years that we enjoy must be maintain with care. I dislocated my right elbow from going down on my porch stairs. My right foot slid on the last step and try to recover and used my right arm to braced my fall. My elbow bone was sicking out, immediately I pulled my arm out and I almost painted.:banghead::banghead: My wife put sling with her scarf and magazine under and pack with ice. I finally saw the emergency Doctor after 2 hour waiting,. No fractured after xray.

You all take care and enjoy our golden years with fun not pain God Bless us all.

 

[bcer960]

Ouch, wow, take care of yourself.
I bet you will think up a whole lot of new ways to farkle while your on the mend......

 

[Bob Denman]

:shocked: I've seen a few of my own X-rays, that started out like that... :banghead:

Whatever happens: Listen to the Doctors, and do EXACTLY what you're told... nojoke
I hope that you heal quickly and completely; please keep us in the loop! (

My elbow bone was sicking out, immediately I pulled my arm out and I almost painted.:banghead::banghead:

Gee jerpinoy, I have dislocated a few joints, but NEVER have I considered rushing off to do some painting. You must be a VERY committed handyman

[PrairieSpyder]

Gee, Bob, that looks awful. My dad broke his tibia in the same place and was quite a while letting it heal, followed by physical therapy. I hope you get well soon.

Bob that really sucks. And to think you could have broken your left ankle and you'd still be able to ride. :banghead: My dogs love to dig holes in the yard and somehow they manage to make them invisible so every time I cut the grass I fear doing what you did.

 

[Ron2andia]

Heal quick man... Sorry that happened.

 

[cuznjohn]

good luck healing and feeling better, i broke, dislocated, and turned mt right ankle 180 degrees back in the 90's. it healed ok, but the discoloring like you have remained all these years.

 

[robtdonna]

Unless he has changed recently his is a SM, like mine, so left ankle would be worse. Hand brake could be a solution if it's an extended recovery period.

[Chupaca]

Bummer...

Hi Bob,

Re: Listen to the Doctors, and do EXACTLY what you're told...

Hmmmm, let me think about this.

1. Someone posted about shingles
2. People said to get to a doctor
3. The poster said he did not need to

:banghead:

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm..

Robert, you have a good 3-day weekend.
