Very astute observation!It's hard to just let go of the reins, for you, right fdd...you like to keep it all together...don't like to show weakness.Now I sound either like a therapist, or some lonely loser trying to take you home from the bar, lol!!!

Ummmm duh???? j/k :mrgreen:.... but seriously... keep it elevated and QUIT dragging yourself through the garden! You are not 18 ... you are.... well... in the 40+ age group now... it takes longer to recover from these kinds of injuries now (like it or not!).

It doesn't make you weak to take the medical advice and take it easy... it makes you smart! If you keep up the "whatever" attitude then it could get infected and you could lose a leg... and then your students at Oaksterdam will call you "professor stump"... and no one wants that :mrgreen::mrgreen::mrgreen:

Stay on the couch and get well soon :D

:dunce: I'm sooo not going to do the 'I told you so' thing. Nor am I going to try to channel your mum again... I promise. :lol:

It sux man, and I feel your pain. All my sympathies. Just be careful of getting blood clots... that's the worst. Your circulation won't be so great at the moment. And you do NOT want a big haematoma to deal with, trust me.

Take the advice of those who care... :hug: :bigjoint:

Get better, dude.

Do you still want 2 ride? I did a similar thing all though it did not look that bad. I bailed on a wave and slammed down on the jetski and broke my knee cap (some pain) and like a year i slammed my head down on the handle bars split my chin wide and i almost k.o. but it is and addiction the ocean is way better then lakes and maby less risk in your case.

11 freakin' SCREWS!!!! some of them go all the way thru the bone. this is the front view so you can't see the full row of 5 that go across the top. the plat is L shaped so looking from the side you'd see 5 more screws across the top. i got all the staples out and have a simple bandage over it. i'm on a cane and walking. :mrgreen::blsmoke: full view sized.jpg

damn man that sucks!!

on new years 07 i completely dislocated my metatarsels in my foot from my ankle bones and ripped all the ligaments, cartilage, tendons and halfway ripped the surrounding muscle, if i didnt have skin my foot would have been ripped off.

had 3 surgeries 3 screws 2 pins and A LOT OF FUCKING PAIN

i know where your coming from i can understand the pain and also the fact that painkillers maybe kill 25% of the pain...you dont notice how much they actually do until you stop taking them like i did
