so my ankle is broken, lame
 

got a temporary cast that comes off in a week (my foot is too swelled up to put on the real one yet). 8 to 10 weeks, then physio. have to cancel a trip to Tokyo. i can feel the depression creeping up on me already lol.

give me your worst ;)

Did you at least get some good pain killers? :Graucho

sucks gettting your ass handed to you by lil brother dont it /;)

kidding man, sucks.

ive never broken or sprained anything in my life.

very lucky considering the indestructible attitude i have to endangering myself, whether it be arson or drunken cicrque de soleil tricks i try sometimes after too many drinks and the encouragement of my girl and drunken buddies

:1orglaugh

I'm just glad you had it checked out :)

Hope it feels better soon. :(

I feel for yah - I've broken most bones in my body - some twice; each arm 4 times...it aint fun

too bad you are so far away, i'd give you a back massage to make you feel better and some chicken noodle soup or hot indian tea.

Well at least you will be ok... I've broken lots of bones.... my wrist, my hand 5 times, my hip, my collarbone, every toe on both feet, many bones in my feet and I broke vertibrae in my back... those are just broken bones... training horses can be fun lol. Could you take a minute and hit me up pls? email treasure at teeniesxxx.com? Thanks, and get well soon hon.

.. but its usually fun a few seconds before the bones break. :thumbsup

I'd use the 8 weeks to get a lot of work done, maybe start a new project, if I was in your shoes Quiet.

Feel better. :thumbsup

hmm my achilles snapped 2 years ago.. took me 2 months before I could walk and 5 months of physio (6 hours a week) to be ok.. hope that makes you feel a tiny bit better .. atleast you can spend hours after hours infront of the pc without anyone telling you to get the fuck out or do the dishes etc :thumbsup

one good thing though.. morfin/painkillers didn't work on me after the operation so a bunch of cute nurses lined up to comfort me.. god I miss that :Graucho

Did you at least smooth with the brother?

all they gave me was a prescription for tylenol 3's... c'est la vie

I will go to Tokyo for you. :glugglug

Yeah, where is your brother now, any news?

smoke some weed it's good against the pain

hehe, the retarded thing is the break is from jumping down some stairs and landing funny on my foot while we were scrapping. x-rays looked pretty ugly. i've broken all of my fingers, a couple of toes, and my wrist all from snowboarding, nothing like this though.

:glugglug

damn, that must have sucked. yeah, going to spending a lot of time in front of the tv and computer, lots of order-in pizza too :)

ladym - i shoot you an email in a bit.

so far nope, but i'm not all that interested in talking with him at this point lol. looks like i can get a refund on my hotel (though they are going to make me jump through some hoops it seems), but the plane tix are down the toilet.

so sorry to hear that. I am glad you went to the doctors and had it taken care of before it got worse.

no time for depression.. maybe try to look at it as a sign that you werent supposed to go...yeah, I know..easier said then done.

Get that ankle healed...too many things to do that require two feet...especially snowboarding!!

Mama Betty sending ya hug.. I bet you could use one right about now


:)

Can you pay some $$$ and exchange them for a later date?

so with Canadas social medical system, did you have to wait in a first aid tent for a day ot two, before a doc could find the time to see you?

the beauty of chargebacks

Heck, they gave him Tylenol #3 for a broken ankle. Here in the states you get GOOD drugs for stuff like that :winkwink:

now im having Kill Bill visions of you leaping in slow mo down 40+ steps doing a mid air fight with your bro who also jumped.

matrix style nuggah

1998 in Vancouver a guy ran a stop sign on me and I t-boned his car on my 600 Ninja.... I was doing about 50k.

4 busted ribs...one went through my left lung..
internal bleeding..right lung filling with blood..
broken arm
brused hip
cracked my skull in 3 places
4 broken toes
2 broken fingers
broken collar bone
sprained both wrists and ankles
damaged 2 vertebra in my back
cracked my jaw....

I think thats about it

Walked out of the hospital a week later with a limp but I'm 100% again. The ambulance drivers came up to see me and said I had about 10 minutes to live when the got me to the hospital....

Someone up there was on my side....

just a few broken fingers in an accident when I was about 10 years old..... other than that...all is well.

Hope you are your brother work things out. Me and my brother have just started talking after a year of not talking at all from a stupid arguement that got real heated.

Its nice to have him back now....

broken knee, surgery, 6 screws and a titanium plate inserted. 10 weeks in a wheelchair. And then three and half months on crutches. Extremely painful physical therapy to get the knee to bend again. Permanant loss of some range of motion. And a year later, still having problems with the ankle on the same leg.

Have a nice day.

let me know

Sorry to hear that..you'll need to have someone take the P-car out at least once every 4 days while you're laid up..They don't like being garage queens! ;)

yep, glad i finally went. definitely want it healed for snowboarding!! i'm on the couch, the windows are open and i can see the gondola sitting there about 40 feet away :( crazy how things can change, i've been hiking/scrambling mountains everyday all summer, now i can barely move lol. cheers Betty :)

Peaches, just found out i can pay $75 bucks per ticket and change the dates. only thing is i have no idea when to change them too. i guess i could just push them to exactly a year later, or something. or maybe the beginning of next summer. who knows.

Or a little head? :Graucho

amazing - the quickest service i've ever experienced. i done hospitals in Edmonton, Banff and Montreal, and of course it's always been a 3-4 hour affair. here in Whistler i get to the hospital (the parking lot is packed), and in 5 minutes i'm talking to a doctor. absolutely stunning service.

for sure man, my brother and i are normally super close, basically best friends. hopefully things work out...

yeah i've been thinking about that. i wonder if i'll be able to deal with the gas and brake with a boot on (apparently i'll be able to get a sort of ski boot type of cast - more money but much smaller, lighter, etc)... probably not. i have a Porsche trickle charger i'll have to break out to keep the battery topped up...

quiet, is it right or left leg? i didnt catch.

if possible maybe you should rent a motocycle heheh

shifting can be done with the good foot.

:)

how bad is it swelled?
post a picture?

get well soone quiet

take lots of vicodin

I wish you a swift recovery. Ive never broken a thing, but I bet it must suck.

Cool :) And I'm ASSuming you can pay $75 to change it again? If so, then change the tickets now as far off as they'll allow (usually 364 days) then when you get a set date, you can put them back on the date you need them.

Things are looking better already. Now you just need to get your brother to answer your calls, get you some good pain killers, up your Netflix account, get the name of all the food delivery places and you're set. :thumbsup

surprised no one said this yet.

well nothing else to do quiet, looks like ya gotta drink more post more.

:glugglug

Your ankle will be good as new come winter, right? :)

Not looking too favorable at this point.

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

How much $ you get from ICBC? :D

Tell me about it. I had major surgery in Canada on numerous occasions, and all I got was some shitty codeine. They sliced away a major facial bone (I won't tell which) and screwed it back at a different angle, and yet all I got was codeine! They extracted my wisdom teeth... codeine! I had a broken nose: codeine!

heh, right leg man.

more than likely. i haven't been spending nearly as much time around here, but that's about to change i think... post count about to go up.

:glugglug

im really glad to hear that... :)

Hey, I was in Whistler mountain biking today.



So fucking hot out.

yep, that's the plan. i'm going to give them a call tomorrow and change out the dates for a year later. there's an awesome food delivery service out here that delivers food from any and all restaurants in Whistler - woohoo. painkillers are in the works too...

it damn well better be. it sounds like about 3 months before i'm back to normal, so mid-Nov. just in time :glugglug

yeah, it's been smoking hot every day here for the past 2 months. i'll be spending a lot of time inside with the a/c...
