Here's what happened:

Fractured Fibula, Fractured Lateral Malleolus right leg. A gnarly injury.



The end result, 3 screws are now part of my anatomy. The small one is permanent, the two big ones come off in about 2 months.



It also left a nasty looking scar.



Here's how I get to browse the forums these days. I posed just in front of my screen. In all honesty, I can't sit and have my leg lower than my heart for more than a few minutes before it starts to swell.



Mike

Les!!! I know that avatar picture. Isn't that the one me and Mat took a while back? We have to do another photo shoot! I have not had the chance to pick up my camera since my injury and don't expect to do so for another 4 months.

Thanks for the well wishes. You guys don't realize how good it makes me feel.

Rub some dirt on it and get back on the bike ya wuss. Seriously though, take care of yourself and welcome to the "Bionic Man" club.

Get Well soon............

Thrill Cycle!

I actually weaned myself off the pain medication two weeks after surgery. It was causing me anxiety and depression. My threshold for pain is pretty good for a wuss, but, I seem to be able to manage. It just hurts when it swells. Something that can easily be fixed by laying down and elevating my leg above my heart.

The one thing that really got to me was the depression. My only saving grace is the tv, cable, internet, lots of movies, and text/multimedia messages on my cell. I've come to really enjoy getting multimedia and text messages since my cell is always on me. The best ones are from my friends that take MySpace style..... well, you know what I mean .

It only sucks because I have to delete them because the ghetto replacement phone I got does not have a lot of memory. It doesn't even have a camera. I ran over my old one with my wheelchair. If anyone has a decent AT&T flip/slider phone that they don't use anymore that I can borrow, I'd really appreciate it.

Anyway, thanks for the well wishes. I really appreciate them specially now while I'm down and out. However, just like the Terminator, "I'll be baaack."

WOW does it hurt??

Why did they put a zipper on your ankle??

Just jokin' Mike I know that shit is painful I ripped all the ligaments in my right ankle so I feel your pain.

Get well soon.
